In this paper, we applied an incompressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method to investigate the impact of solitary waves on seawalls, especially movable seawalls. The SPH method is a mesh-free numerical approach particularly suitable for dealing with large free surface deformations and c...
