An analytic solution describing the motion of a bore over a sloping beach
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 April 2006
Abstract
An exact analytic solution of the shallow water equations for the motion of a bore over a uniformly sloping beach is derived. This solution is valid only when the initial bore is supercritical. The results agree very well with those of Keller, Levine & Whitham (1960).
