| Abstract: | This paper investigates the characteristics of downrush flow from breaking waves on sloping seawalls, which cause toe scour. Flow visualization techniques were employed in these experiments. The velocity and pressure of the downrush flow at the toe were analyzed. It was found that the intensity of the flow is reduced as the structure slope decreases. The empirical formula for normalized flow intensity at the structure toe is presented as a function of the relative wave run-up height. |
