Abstract
AbstractWe propose and illustrate a novel type of shoreline boundary conditions for Boussinesq‐type models. On the basis of characteristic equations of the non‐linear shallow water equations, boundary conditions are developed equations that can suitably model the motion of the instantaneous shoreline. Such boundary conditions are then implemented in a numerical solver for a specific set of Boussinesq‐type equations, which have been proved very effective for near‐shore modelling. Finally, a number of tests are performed to validate and illustrate the behaviour of the new conditions. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
