Wave Impact on a Wall Using Pressure-Impulse Theory. I: Trapped Air
Often when a plunging breaker impacts on a wall, an air pocket is trapped at the wall. This paper extends a pressure-impulse model for wave impact on a wall to include a simple model of a trapped air pocket. The inclusion of an air pocket leads to a higher impulse at impact for a given wave as there is some rebound of the water. The model is shown to compare satisfactorily with small-scale experimental data performed on a caisson breakwater with an impermeable berm. The effect of a porous berm on pressure impulse is investigated theoretically in a companion paper.

Wave Impact on a Wall Using Pressure-Impulse Theory. II: Porous Berm
Breakwaters often stand on a rubble mound or have a rubble berm in front of the structure. The pressure-impulse model for violent water-wave impact on a wall fronted by an impermeable bed is extended to include a porous region simulating a porous berm. The effect of different berm porosities on the pressure impulse is investigated. Even some large changes in porosity are found to have little effect (at most 20%) on the pressure impulse both on the wall and along the berm. However, in this study evolution toward the wall is not included.
