Predicting the propagation and transformation of the solitary wave is very important in
coastal engineering. This paper presents a numerical investigation of the solitary wave …

In this paper the runup of a train of successive solitary waves is studied. Using a wavemaker
with 5-m stroke, a series of evenly-spaced solitary waves, up to nine, is generated in a wave …

Solitary waves (SWs) are often applied to the investigation of the hydraulic characteristics of
tsunamis. However, SWs not only have a considerably narrower distribution than an actual …

The propagation of solitary waves in a constant water depth is investigated. The Dirichlet
boundary condition and an internal mass source are utilized, respectively, to generate the …

Laboratory experiments to estimate solitary wave runup were performed on three different
planar beaches with slopes of 1/4, 1/7 and 1/10, with varying wave heights and water …

Understanding the kinematics and hydrodynamics of long waves in nearshore zones is
currently one of the more pressing aims motivating research in the coastal engineering …

Impulse waves are generated by rapid subaerial mass movements including landslides,
avalanches and glacier break-offs, which pose a potential risk to public facilities and …

In this study, a series of laboratory experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of
bed roughness and beach slope on the non-breaking solitary wave runup height …

In this study, the hydrodynamic characteristics of coastal freak waves are numerically
investigated using an in-house code named a constraint interpolation profile (CIP)-based …

An experiment consisting of 122 tests was conducted for breaking solitary waves on rough
and smooth slopes. The constant water depth and the incident wave height were varied to …
