WAVE RUN UP ON NATURAL BEACHES [PDF]
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2011 Wave run up is important for quantifying risks to infrastructure in the coastal zone. The performance of global wave run up models are assessed by applying them to two significant storms along the South African coastline in 2007 and 2008. The models produced mixed results and therefore the development of a new wave run up model was undertaken.

Probabilistic characteristics of narrow-band long-wave run-up onshore [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2019 The run-up of random long-wave ensemble (swell, storm surge, and tsunami) on the constant-slope beach is studied in the framework of the nonlinear shallow-water theory in the approximation of non-breaking waves.

Observations of nonlinear run-up patterns on plane and rhythmic beach morphology [PDF]
, 2010 Application of non-linear forecasting and bispectral analysis to video observations of run-up over cuspate topography shows that these alongshore patterns in the morphology are accompanied by changes to the fundamental behaviour of the run-up timeseries.

Analysis of the pressure at a vertical barrier due to extreme wave run-up over variable bathymetry
Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2017 The pressure load at a vertical barrier caused by extreme wave run-up is analysed numerically, using the conformal mapping method to solve the two-dimensional free surface Euler equations in a pseudo-spectral model.

Wave Run-Up on a Simulated Beach
Coastal Engineering 1976, 1976 A set of experiments concerning wave run-up in the presence of an offshore bar is described. Results pertaining to the direct relationship between incident waves and run-up heights are presented. It is clear that in the majority of cases the offshore bar does reduce run-up heights.

Long wave propagation, shoaling and run-up in nearshore areas [PDF]
, 2014 This paper discusses the possibility to study propagation, shoaling and run-up of these waves over a slope in a 300-meter long large wave flume (GWK), Hannover.

WAVE RUN-UP ON A NATURAL BEACH
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1988 The swash oscillation, waves and water particle velocity in the surf zone were measured by using 16 mm memo-motion cameras and electromagnetic current meters. It was inferred that incident waves form two-dimensional standing waves with the anti-node in the swash slope. Separation of the incident waves and reflected waves was attempted with good results

Effects of Waveform Distribution of Tsunami-Like Solitary Wave on Run-up on Impermeable Slope [PDF]
한국해양공학회지, 2019 For decades, solitary waves have commonly been used to simulate tsunami conditions in numerical studies. However, the main component of a tsunami waveform acts at completely different spatial and temporal distributions than a solitary waveform.

Predicting site-specific storm wave run-up [PDF]
Natural Hazards, 2020 AbstractStorm wave run-up causes beach erosion, wave overtopping, and street flooding. Extreme runup estimates may be improved, relative to predictions from general empirical formulae with default parameter values, by using historical storm waves and eroded profiles in numerical runup simulations.
