Effects of Slope Roughness on Wave Run-Up on Composite Slopes,
Abstract
A comprehensive study of the wave run-up phenomena on single and composite slopes was conducted in order to determine the effects of slope roughness on regular and irregular wave run-up on composite sections, to determine the effects of slope roughness on the velocity distribution in the uprush zone, to investigate the energy loss in the uprush zone due to turbulence and bottom dissipation, and to compare regular and irregular wave run-up on roughened slopes with wave runup on smooth slopes.
