dc.description.abstractPURPOSE: This Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) provides empirical equations for estimating several parameters of unsteady flow resulting from the combination of steady storm surge overflow and overtopping of irregular waves at a trapezoidal-shaped earthen levee. Equations are given for the average overtopping discharge and the cumulative probability distribution of instantaneous overtopping discharge. On the landward-side slope, empirical equations can be used to estimate the mean flow depth, mean flow velocity, root-mean-square wave height, and velocity associated with the overtopping wave front. Worked examples illustrate application of the empirical equations.en_US
