Wave Run-up
Wave run-up is the height to which Wind wave, waves run up the slope of a revetment, Bank (geography), bank or Levee, dike, regardless of whether the waves are Breaking wave, breaking or not. Conversely, ''wave run-down'' is the height to which waves recede. These heights are always measured vertically (and not along the slope). The wave run-up height, denoted by R_u, , or z, is a very important parameter in coastal engineering as, together with the design highest still water level, it determines the required crest height of a dike or revetment. History The first scientific measurements of wave run-up were carried out by the Hendrik Lorentz, Lorentz Committee in preparation for the works to close off the Zuiderzee. The Committee measured the wave height and wave run-up at various locations in 1920, but established that state of the art methods for measuring waves in the field during storms were inadequate. As a result, scale tests were also undertaken, but these also proved to b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
