Experimental Analysis of Wave Overtopping: A New Small Scale Laboratory Dataset for the Assessment of Uncertainty for Smooth Sloped and Vertical Coastal Structures (2019)
Journal Article
Williams, H. E., Briganti, R., Romano, A., & Dodd, N. (2019). Experimental Analysis of Wave Overtopping: A New Small Scale Laboratory Dataset for the Assessment of Uncertainty for Smooth Sloped and Vertical Coastal Structures. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 7(7), Article 217. https://doi.org/10.3390/jmse7070217

Most physical model tests carried out to quantify wave overtopping are conducted using a wave energy spectrum, which is then used to generate a free surface wave time series at the wave paddle. This method means that an infinite number of time series...

An idealised study for the evolution of a shoreface nourishment (2019)
Journal Article
Chen, W., & Dodd, N. (2019). An idealised study for the evolution of a shoreface nourishment. Continental Shelf Research, 178, 15-26. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.csr.2019.03.010

We develop an idealised one dimensional (cross-shore) morphodynamic model that couples wave, tide and sediment dynamics to study the effect and evolution of a shoreface nourishment. Sediment fluxes driven by wave skewness, wave asymmetry (both onshor... Read More about An idealised study for the evolution of a shoreface nourishment.

Quasi-exact solution of the Riemann problem for generalised dam-break over a mobile initially flat bed (2019)
Journal Article
Zhu, F., & Dodd, N. (2019). Quasi-exact solution of the Riemann problem for generalised dam-break over a mobile initially flat bed. Journal of Engineering Mathematics, 115(1), 99–119. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10665-019-09994-6

This paper investigates dam-break problems with flows on one or two sides of zero or nonzero velocities over a mobile initially flat bed, and quasi-exact solutions are presented by solving the Riemann problems using the simple wave theory. The flow s... Read More about Quasi-exact solution of the Riemann problem for generalised dam-break over a mobile initially flat bed.
