Abstract
Accurate estimation of wave set-up in wave breaking zone is be of great importance to the design of maritime structures in shallow water area. A new computation method applying the energy flux equation is proposed to estimate wave set-up, coastal currents and wave deformation. The estimated wave set-up and heights on an uniform slope agrees to an experimental result at shore boundary. In the comparison of field observation, the estimated error of wave set-up and heights is about 15% and 30% respectively at shore boundary. Therefore, this model can be applied to the estimation of wave deformation in shallow water.
