Abstract
The objective is to study the harmonic forced wave motion over a beach by a finite Fourier transform technique. The constructed approximate solution has a logarithmic singularity at the shoreline. It accounts for reflexion and local perturbations. Trapping of waves may take place for particular choices of the applied surface pressure excess. The case of a wave incident against a cliff with horizontal bottom is solved exactly. The method deals invariably with a variety of bottom shapes, including the case where there is an additional corrugation of the bottom on a finite interval. Other bottom boundary conditions than impermeability can be treated as well. The results may be of interest in several practical applications, in particular the evaluation of the reflected wave. Numerical applications for a plane sloping beach, a parabolic-type beach and a shelf-type beach are presented and the…
