  ABSTRACT: Seawalls are among protective structures that are constructed for decreasing the level of wave force and/or protecting from other structures. In this regard, more accurate investigation of these structures takes great importance from different perspectives. This research investigates thechange of the velocity on seawall crown by considering the obstacles in different layouts and slopes.FLOW-3D has been used in this research for modeling. The results of the modeling show that the existence of obstacles has a determinative role in decreasing flow rate in the crown of seawalls. Also, as it was expected, the slope factor on upstream seawalls is very determinative in decreasing this rate such that the lowest velocity on the wall occurs in D-state layout and the slope of 45°.
