Wave transformation in shallow water generates changes in the mean water level, called set-up for an upward change and set-down for a downward change. The changes in mean sea level …

In fluid dynamics, wave setup is the increase in mean water level due to the presence of breaking waves. Similarly, wave setdown is a wave-induced decrease of the mean water level before …

Although theoretical equations exist for the case of idealized static wave setup, the actual static setup value depends on a number of factors, including wave nonlinearity, wave breaking …

Wave set-up on reefs is governed by the same theoretical principles as wave set-up on beaches. However, there are some differences in approach because the morphology of reefs is different …

Experimentally, it was found that the 'set-down' was rather con- stant between the point where the crest of the wave begins to curl over and the point where the whole wave form collapses. …

Wave forces have an effect on the mean flow; they induce mean water level variations (set-down, set-up) and mean currents (a longshore current in the case of waves obliquely approaching …

Jun 11, 2025 · Wave setup refers to the increase in mean water level due to the presence of breaking waves. This phenomenon is crucial in coastal engineering as it significantly …

Wave setup corresponds to the rise in mean water level that accompanies wave dissipation in the nearshore and was first reported by Saville (1961). Wave setup and setdown was then …

Jun 1, 2024 · Wave setup is a physical process that induces a temporal increase of the mean water level due to wave dissipation by bottom friction and breaking in the surf zone, extending …

Wave setup is the increase of water level within the surf zone due to the transfer of wave-related momentum to the water column during wave-breaking. Wave setup has been investigated …
