Reduction of maximum tsunami run-up due to the interaction with beachfront development – application of single sinusoidal waves

Experiments are presented that focus on the interaction of single sinusoidal long waves with beachfront development on the shore. A pump-driven methodology is applied to generate the tested waves in the wave flume. The approaching waves firstly propagate over a horizontal bottom, then climbing up a...
