Section 5.3.1, p82, equation 5.11:
Lander Victor remarks that the definition of the power c in the formula is not
clear. In probabilistic calculations c can be considered as a stochast with mean
-0.92 and a standard deviation of 0.24.
For deterministic calculations an exceedance
frequency of 15% is assumed. The Gaussian distribution gives u15% =
1,035. So c becomes c=-0.92 + 1.035*0.24 = -0.672. And 10-0.672
= 0.21. This is the coefficient in equation 5.10.
Section 5.4, p 99, equation 5.33:
Lander Victor remarks that Tm in eq. 5.33 might be replaced by Tm-1,0,
which is in line with figure 5.32, also mentioning Tm-1,0.
Section 6.3.3, p118, equation 6.8
Corrado Altomare remarks that the formula presented here is different from the
formula originally presented by Van der Meer, and in the Manual presented as
formula 5.24. In that formula a multiplier (1-0.0033β)
is used, while in 6.8 a multiplier (1-0.0063β) is used.
Formula 6.8 is restricted to permeable
(armourstone) structures under oblique wave attack, while formula 4.25 is for
smooth, impermeable slopes.
Neural Network update:
The Neural Network Overtopping tool is freely available now on the Deltares
website as a web application. To use this application please visit
