Abstract

The investigations to the shoreward travel of a bore into water at rest is extended to beaches of non-uniform slope. It is shown that the shore singularity established in Part 1 (Ho & Meyer 1962) still furnishes an approximate solution. The shape of the beach, like the shape of the wave forming the bore, is found to influence the bore development close to shore almost only in so far as it determines the basic velocity scale of the bore.
