| Abstract |
Existing measurement techniques for wave overtopping are developed for sea defense structures, which give rise to small wave-by-wave overtopping masses. The development of overtopping wave energy converters however requires the identification of large overtopping masses. A new test set-up that is able to measure large wave-by-wave overtopping masses accurately is described in this paper. Starting from the weigh cell technique, a number of adaptations have been carried out, of which the effectiveness is compared in the main part of this paper. Resulting from this comparison, a final more accurate adapted test set-up is derived. Tests carried out with this test set-up reveal that the shape and scale factors of the Weibull distributions of large wave-by-wave overtopping volumes are different compared to those of the Weibull distributions corresponding to sea defense structures. The more accurate adapted test set-up can be used for all types of structures. |
