Abstract

Irregular wave run-up on beaches has been studied on the basis of laboratory and field data, which confirmed that long-term wave run-up corresponding to surf beat (or infragravity waves) appears in case of a sea bottom slope gentler than about 1/20. Moreover analytical and numerical models to calculate surf beat caused by wave groups are investigated, and empirical and numerical models to predict the long period wave run-up are proposed.
