Abstract: This paper. details experiments undertaken in the UK Coastal Research Facility (CRF)at Hy draulies Research (HR), Wallingford, on transformation and run-up of wave trains. The purpose of these experiments is to provide verification data for numerical models of wave transformation in shoaling. surf and swash zones. This is the kind of data ih:lt flume experiments are unable to provide, and is collected in the highly controlled environment of CRF where extrinsic factors present in the field are not an issue. The experiments concerning wave trains are undertaken by use of existing wave generation software, and the run-up measurements are made with large experimental run-up gauges.
