In this paper, the results of the study on the wave propagation and breaking of solitons and N-waves in fresh water and brine are reported. The experiments were performed in the twin flume facility at the Franzius Institute, Leibniz University of Hannover. Brine from Dead Sea was used for the study. The objective of the experimental study was to determine the flood safety levels along the banks of the Dead Sea and to arrive at the empirical equations for run-up. A weakly coupled numerical model based on the fully nonlinear potential flow and Navier–Stokes equation was used to validate the experimental results. The proposed numerical model is in good agreement with the present experimental results and the available analytical solutions for run-up estimation. The breaking N-waves were found to have a reduced run-up when compared to breaking solitons. The paper shows that the long wave propagation and run-up in both brine and water has similar characteristics.read more

A hybrid numerical model based on FNPT-NS for the estimation of long wave run-up
TL;DR: Sriram et al. as mentioned in this paper used the strong coupling between the fully nonlinear potential flow theory (FNPT) at the far field and Navier-Stokes (NS) equations in the nearshore.
Experimental investigation of tsunami runup reduction in the presence of a coastal dune
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors studied the protection of coastal dunes against tsunamis by using laboratory experiments on a laboratory scale model of the dune (rigid surface) on different plane beach slopes.

The runup of solitary waves
TL;DR: In this article, an approximate theory is presented for non-breaking waves and an asymptotic result is derived for the maximum runup of solitary waves on plane beaches, and a series of laboratory experiments is described to support the theory.

Water waves of finite amplitude on a sloping beach
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the behavior of a wave as it climbs a sloping beach and obtained explicit solutions of the equations of the non-linear inviscid shallow-water theory for several physically interesting wave-forms.

Tsunamis -- the propagation of long waves onto a shelf
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical method of solving the Boussinesq equations for constant depth using finite element techniques is presented, which is extended to the case of an arbitrary variation in depth (i.e., gradually to abruptly varying depth).
