Abstract
An empirical new berm recession formula is derived based on the assumption that the maximum wave force causing armor movement and berm recession is proportional to the maximum wave momentum flux near the structure toe. This concept introduces a more physics-based first principles approach to estimate the berm recession. Recession seems well predicted by the new formula for reshaping berm breakwaters. The results from this formula show a better estimation than earlier formulae used for estimating the berm recession.
