Abstract
This paper reports results of numerical wave flume predictions against experimental data for violent overtopping. The numerical scheme solves the non-linear shallow water equations which, for violent overtopping should not be valid as they neglect vertical accelerations. The results presented show relatively good agreement with experimental results under certain conditions. The paper reviews and identifies the conditions under which engineers can use the numerical model as a viable design tool.
