2 Introd uction Introduction 1. Introduction Wave propagation within coastal zones is strongly influenced by coastal morphology Predominant processes in the coastal zone are: Investigations: Measurements of the wave propagation along a foreland with and without a submerged dike (summer dike) in the large wave tank of the FZK Numerical simulation of some of the above processes with standard wave models Test of the models by comparing the simulation results with the physical model - Adjustment of the parameters bottom friction and wave breaking Calculation of the transmission coefficients

Physical Modeling Location and topographical map of a summer dike: Cross-section of a summer dike: seaward side landward side clay 50cm NN+1.7 m 1:7 berm 1:1 1:7 sand NN+3.5m clay 50cm 1:7 NN +1.7 m drainage system NN+0.0m

Still it is necessary to calibrate the models. This can be done with physical models or field data. Advantage of physical models are the well defined boundary conditions. Difficulties of field measurements are costs, extreme and unreliable boundary conditions.
