Probabilistic characteristics of narrow-band long-wave run-up onshore [PDF]
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.

WAVE RUN UP ON NATURAL BEACHES [PDF]
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.

Effects of Waveform Distribution of Tsunami-Like Solitary Wave on Run-up on Impermeable Slope [PDF]
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.

Simulating three dimensional wave run-up over breakwaters covered by antifer units
The paper presents the numerical analysis of wave run-up over rubble-mound breakwaters covered by antifer units using a technique integrating Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software. Direct application of Navier-Stokes

Numerical Simulation of Propagation and Run-Up of Long Waves in U-Shaped Bays
Wave propagation and run-up in U-shaped channel bays are studied here in the framework of the quasi-1D Saint-Venant equations. Our approach is numerical, using the momentum conserving staggered-grid (MCS) scheme, as a consistent approximation of the ...

Physical simulation of resonant wave run-up on a beach [PDF]
Nonlinear wave run-up on the beach caused by a harmonic wave maker located at some distance from the shore line is studied experimentally. It is revealed that under certain wave excitation frequencies, a significant increase in run-up amplification is ...

Effect of hydraulic and structural parameters on the wave run-up over the berm breakwaters
The main aim of this study is to investigate the effect of berm breakwater on wave run-up. A total of 200 numerical analysis tests have been carried out in this paper to investigate the effect of berm width, wave height, and wave period on the wave run ...

Run Up of Surface and Internal Waves
The evolution of breaking waves propagating towards the shore and more specifically the run-up phase over the swash-zone for surface as well as for internal waves is considered. The study is based on a) laboratory run up experiments for surface waves ; b) laboratory stratified flow experiments and c) on field data describing the internal wave run up ...

Characteristics of Flow in Run-Up of Periodic Waves
An experimental study is presented of some characteristic parameters of the flow in the up-rush and down-rush of periodic waves breaking on a plane, smooth slope. The water layer thickness has been measured as a function of time at four locations above still water level. Discharges and particle velocities have been calculated.
