Accurate and computationally efficient prediction of wave run-up is required to mitigate the
impacts of inundation and erosion caused by tides, storm surges, and even tsunami waves …

Wave runup is a critical factor that affects coastal flooding, shoreline changes, and the
damage to coastal structures. Climate change is also expected to amplify the impact of 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 …

Coastal forests have been recognized to considerably reduce the energy of tsunamis and
act as a measure against them. However, broken trees due to tsunamis produce woody …

Solitary gravity waves play a key role in the field of coastal and ocean engineering. The two-
layer Boussinesq model developed by the authors has excellent linear and nonlinear …

In this work, the phenomenon of wave run-up induced by solitary waves in breaking and
nonbreaking conditions has been investigated. Despite several studies have been carried …

As a mitigation measure against a tsunami inundation, vegetation-embankment hybrid
structures received attention after the 2011 Great East Japan Tsunami, and some structures …

Glacier lake outburst floods (GLOFs) that result from the breaching of moraine dams are
typical disasters in high mountain regions of the Tibetan Plateau, which endanger vital …

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 …

Solitary waves have been widely used by researchers to represent tsunami waves in a
physical experiment, although this assumption is still being debated. The most common way …
