Abstract

To investigate the influence of the factors on which the parameter P in de Van der Meer formula for breakwater stability depends, physical model tests have been conducted. The tests were carried out in the wave flume in the water laboratory at Delft University of Technology. On four different configurations (smooth impermeable slopes, rough impermeable slope, armour layer on an impermeable core and permeable core) tests were conducted.
