A Synthesis on Wave Run-Up

Journal of the Waterways and Harbors Division, 1968
A critical survey of existing theories and experiments on wave run-up is carried out. The theories of run-up of nonbreaking waves are analyzed first. Breaking criteria and the main theories of run-up of breaking waves are presented, including the theories for the run-up of a bore, the nonsaturated breaker theory, and the numerical method for ...

Wave Run-up Influence on Overtopping of Levees

Journal of the Hydraulics Division, 1979
A procedure for calculating probabilities of overtopping from the combined occurrence of floods and wave run-up with an application to a section of the Waal river in the Netherlands is presented. Annual exceedance probabilities are known for the floods. Run-up is computed from wind velocity and wind direction. A stochastic model for these quantities is

Solitary wave run-up: wave breaking and bore propagation

Journal of Hydraulic Research, 2017
ABSTRACTThe run-up features of breaking solitary waves over a plane sloping beach are described using both high-speed images and a systematic data analysis. Experiments were conducted in a smooth, rectangular and prismatic channel. The main hydraulic parameters investigated include relative wave height, stillwater depth, and channel bottom inclination.

Reliability analysis of wave run-up

2009
Assessing the run-up arising from ocean waves as they reach a coastal or offshore structure is an important aspect of engineering projects. By combining formulations for calculating the run-up of regular waves with wave statistical descriptions, a procedure is implemented to assess wave run-up in random sea conditions. This procedure uses the First and

Wave Run‐up on sloping structures

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1953
Relationships have been developed from laboratory experiments which show the effect of side slope, wave steepness (H/L), relative depth (d/L), and the structure porosity on wave run‐up. Maximum wave run‐up occurs, for the range of angles examined, at approximately 30°.

Wave run up dynamics at Jogehama beach

2016 Techno-Ocean (Techno-Ocean), 2016
Big wave suddenly invaded to the beach, and three children were carried off to the sea by the wave though they played on the beach. The beach characteristic topography has the cusp topography and steep slope. This study tried to comprehend the reason why this accident occurred.

Wave Run-Up on Roughened and Permeable Slopes

Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers, 1958
Laboratory tests determining run-up on various beach slopes as result of wave action are described; curves relating run-up to wave steepness, slope roughness, and slope permeability are presented; test facilities and procedure detailed.

Spectral characteristics of random wave run-up

Coastal Engineering, 1988
Abstract The time series of shoreline variations (run-up variations) due to random waves have been measured on uniform sloping beaches with slopes ranging from 1 5 to 1 30 and the energy spectra of the variations (run-up spectra) have been examined. The main characteristics of run-up spectra obtained from the experimental results are as

WATER WAVE RUN-UP ON A BEACH

1964
Abstract : While investigating the Tsunami wave project, a numerical method was devised to solve the initial boundary value problem for the equations of the non-linear shallow water theory. The case of one horizontal dimension was considered in a domain bounded by a shore at one end, with the motion of the shoreline taken into account.

Single-wave run-up on sloping beaches

Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1976
Possibilities of high shoreline amplification and run-up are investigated. A shoreline amplification of magnitude 5·38 and a tsunamigenic (deep water) amplification of magnitude 5·71 are obtained from single waves without analytic or computational difficulties.
