Uncertainty in the prediction of overtopping parameters in numerical and physical models due to offshore spectral boundary conditions

The accurate prediction of wave overtopping is one of the most important aspects in the design of coastal defence structures. This can be achieved by using three different approaches: by physical modelling using laboratory tests, by empirical formulae available in literature derived from physical mo...
