Abstract: Shoaling and breaking of solitary waves is computed on slopes from 1:100 to 1:8 using an experimentally validated fully nonlinear wave model based on potential flow equations. Characteristics of waves are computed at and ...

Abstract: Shoaling of solitary waves on both gentle (1:35) and steeper slopes (≤1:6.50) is analyzed up to breaking using both a fully nonlinear wave model and high‐accuracy laboratory experiments. For the mildest slope, close agreement ...
