This work deals with the viscous flow around an array of cylinders impinged by an incoming wave. Different configurations are considered in order to evaluate the effects of both wave heading and wave height on the loads applied to the bodies and on the run-ups. The results are also compared to previous calculations obtained with the assumption of inviscid flow with the aim of evaluating the contribution of viscosity.
