Climate change studies already reported sea level rise as an accepted scenario, which induces different conditions of incident wave angles, wave breaking / run-up / overtopping and nearshore hydrodynamics. A large range of new hydrodynamic data for different wave steepness and direction is available including data run-up, overtopping next to a rubble mound breakwater with a slope of 1(V):2(H) placed in the Leibnitz Universität Hannover (LUH) wave basin.

This work presents numerical simulations using OpenFOAM® of hydrodynamics in the neighbourhood of a gentler slope breakwater’s trunk armour within a basin focusing on oblique extreme wave conditions and on their effects on the roundhead, Data from experimental measurements namely velocity data from ADV in different depth is compared with vertical numerical profiles.
