KPP-VOW Parameters flow velocities on dike slopes : analysis of influence factors on wave run-up and overtopping flow velocities

Run-up flow velocities and overtopping flow velocities are influenced by the geometry and the roughness of the dike. A literature study on the influence factors for the flow velocities on the outer slope, the crest and the inner slope is performed to determine whether the influence factors can be included in a stochastic manner in failure probability computations. Moreover, the underlying assumptions provide insights in how the influence factors can be improved and extended in the future. This report is part of a larger research effort to find a harmonized expression for velocities that can be used to calculate the failure of the grass cover on the outer slope (GEBU), the crest and the inner slope (GEKB).
