Usage acknowledgement may be required Description Within the European project ‘WAve LOads on WAlls’ (WALOWA) model tests in the Delta flume (The Netherlands) were conducted. It is the aim to study overtopping wave loads on storm walls and buildings. The project is coordinated by Ghent University (Belgium), in cooperation with TU Delft (The Netherlands), RWTH Aachen (Germany), University of Bari, University of L'Aquila, University of Calabria and University of Florence (Italy) and Flanders Hydraulics Research (Belgium). The project is financed by a grant by Hydralab+ in the framework of the EC Horizon 2020 program.
Measurements: overtopping wave loads (pressure and forces), overtopping flow parameters (thickness and velocity), water surface elevation along the mildly sloping foreshore, bathymetry of the sandy foreshore more A model geometry comprised of a sandy beach, a sloping dike, promenade and wall structure was built into the Delta flume. The beach alone consists of 1000m³ sand material and was an essential part of the structure, to obtain the broken wave conditions similar to reality. Waves representing a storm with a 1000 year return period and an additional water level to account for sea level rise result in the tested extreme storm conditions. Measurements of the water surface elevation were taken close to the paddle, along the mildly sloping foreshore and at the dike toe location by resistance type wave gauges mounted to the flume side wall. The bathymetry of the sandy foreshore was measured by a mechanical profiler before and after the test. The overtopping flow properties thickness and velocity were measured by resistance type wave gauges, ultra-sonic distance sensors, paddle wheels and an electro-magnetic current meter installed along the promenade. Finally, the impact forces and pressures on the wall were measured by compression load cells and pressure sensors respectively. The data-set was complemented by a number of synoptic measurements (laser, GoPro, High-speed camera).
