“…Non-hydrostatic NL-SWE models (e.g., SWASH (Simulating WAves till SHore)) allow us to overcome some of the limitations in classic NL-SWE models by incorporating wave dispersion in the simulations. This numerical approach has been employed for the study of extreme water levels on a fringing reef lagoon (e.g., Torres-Freyermuth et al, 2012), wave run-up on beaches (e.g., Ruju et al, 2014;Guimarao et al, 2015), and infragravity shoreline dissipation (e.g., de Bakker et al, 2014). Furthermore, the potential for the run-up parameterization has been shown in Brinkkemper et al (2013).…”
