| Summary: | an important factor in determining the crest elevation attempts to quantify the effects of onshore wind on based upon empirical formulations and physical model becomes an additional design factor of great by Zhang et al. (1995). With the addition of winds, coastal structure, known as the wave sunup height, is Comparisons can be made to earlier regular wave tests conditions: and 1 :5 sloped revetments', smooth and conducted for a range of incident spectral wave considered in the design conditions. The present study crest height of the structure, the overtopping rate dimensional wind-wave flume. Experiments were gained into the wind's transforming effects exerted On irregular wave sunup heights and overtopping rates on of a revetment. When the wave sunup height exceeds the revetments for various wind velocities in a two rough significance for coastal structures. Computations of significant increases in wave sunup and overtopping strong onshore winds associated with the storms studies that do not include the effects of sunup. Scaling these wind effects to prototype surfaces', various crest elevations', and wind The maximum vertical distance a wave may travel up a phics. the waves and how those transformations can affect velocities ranging from zero up to 1 4 m/s. wave sunup heights and overtopping rates are currently were observed for high wind velocities.
