During the recent years sand has washed-in between the cobbles altering its hydrodynamic performance. Currently no relations exist that can accurately predict this change in overtopping performance. As physical experiments on a scale large enough to prevent Reynolds (permeability) scale effects are both very costly and time consuming, numerical models are becoming a serious alternative. In this study the influence of a decrease in porosity and related cobble layer thickness on the overtopping performance is studied using a numerical model.<br><br><b>Recorded Presentation from the vICCE (YouTube Link): <a href="https://youtu.be/TOvuL_fu4eA">https://youtu.be/TOvuL_fu4eA</a></b></html>}, number={36v}, journal={Coastal Engineering Proceedings}, author={Zaalberg, Piet and Ockeloen, Wouter and Hofland, Bas and Antonini, Alessandro and Smith, Greg}, year={2020}, month={Dec.}, pages={structures.14} }
