The document discusses various methods for measuring and simulating wave interaction with coastal structures. It describes a physical wave flume used to model rubble mound breakwaters and armor units. It also discusses numerical simulations of wave run-up, infiltration, and pore pressure using Navier-Stokes equations. A variety of instrumentation is presented, including particle image velocimetry, profilers, and wave run-up gauges to measure wave interaction in both physical and field settings.

2. Wave flume for physical modeling The physical wave flume (dimensions 30m x 1m x 1.2m (L x W x H)) is constructed from reinforced concrete, with a glass side-wall (15m) in a steel frame. Waves are generated using a piston-type paddle. The maximum wave height in the flume is 0.35m. Active wave absorption is installed . Example: hydraulic stability tests using a physical scale model of a rubble mound breakwater armoured using HARO ® armour units. (model scale = 1/40)
