Abstract

In this paper we report a brief review of the present knowledge concerning the so called Composite Modelling Approach then a new proposal that can contribute to this subject is presented. We suggest a methodology that is based in large-scale models and a small-scale models in order to study a given phenomenon by means of the exploration with high detail of a large range of variability of its characteristic parameters. We call this approach, Composite LAboratory PROcess Modelling (CLAPROM). It requires insight into the problems of scale-effects and laboratory-effects and this can only be acquired through continued scientific research in large and small scale models, exploiting booth research tools to their full extent. Experiments conducted in large-scale and smallscale wave-flumes, concerning the wave transmission and the wave piling-up at rubble-mound breakwaters, are presented. Preliminary analysis are reported and some discussions about the scaleeffects are given.
