Modelling interaction between waves and seawalls using a numerical wave flume

Numerical wave flumes are useful in predicting detailed flow patterns due to wave breaking in the surf zone, which is very important in design of coastal structures. In this study, the CADMASSURF model (2001) is used to get insight into cross-shore wave and flow processes in the surf zone, and to some extent, to evaluate the impact of waves to a typical seawall in Vietnam.
