Abstract: A nonlinear model of wave setup is presented. The numerical techniques used in the solution are based on so-called Weighted-Average Flux (WAF) method, with Time-Operator-Splitting (TOS) used for the treatment of the source terms. This method allows a small number of computational points to be used, and is particularly efficient in modeling wave setup. The short wave energy equation is solved using a more traditional Lax-Wendroff technique. The model described in this paper is found to be satisfactory in most respects when compared with the measurements except in modeling the mean free surface very close to the mean shoreline.
