    A particle method, or a gridless Lagrangian method, shows the high performance in describing the complicated behavior of water surface with the fragmentation and coalescence of water. In this paper, a wave overtopping process on a vertical seawall is numerically simulated on the basis of the Navier–Stokes equation with surface-tension term, which is discretized by the MPS (moving particle semi-implicit) method belonging to the category of the particle method. An improvement of the listing process of neighboring particle is introduced to reduce the computational load. Wave overtopping process in the experiments are well reproduced by the MPS method. The predictions of the MPS method of the overtopping volume agree well with the experimental results.
