【 摘 要 】

This study was conducted to Investigate the effect of incident wave parameters on run-up for both a smooth-faced structure and a structure armored with quarry-stone. The ratio of the depth-to-wave length (the relative depth) was found to be important in defining wave run-up for both cases. The relative run-up (expressed as the ratio of the run-up elevation above still water level to the incident wave height) for waves which break at the toe of the structure was less than the maximum relative run-up for non-breaking waves for the same relative depth. For both structures, the maximum relative run-up for experiments with long waves occurred at a value of the modified Ursell number, (1/2IT) (HL2/h3) , of order unity which indicates that the nonlinear and linear effects are approximately equal in the incident wave.
