Abstract:
An statistical approach for analysing the probability of local water surface breaking event is proposed by defining a new variable, the safety margin described in terms of the water column. Under some assumptions, the probability of water surface breaking event at a given location of the beach profile has a simple expression in terms of the mean and the variance of the safety margin- The model is validated for some specific cases with experimental results from the SUPERTANK, obtaining a fairly good agreement
