The propagation of long-period waves is determined by the first-order linear small-amplitude surface wave theory for regions away from the shore and by the first-order nonlinear shallow-water theory for regions near the shore. Calculations by the linear theory were made by using Friedrichs' second asymptotic representation, which is suitable for small beach slopes. Calculations by the nonlinear theory were made on a digital computer by a finite difference technique based on the method of characteristics. In the numerical method, the bore equations are coupled to the equations of the nonlinear theory, and a procedure for the calculation of the wave runup on the dry sloping beach is given. A primary objective of this study was the development of computer programs for the application of the nonlinear theory to periodic long waves. Instantaneous dimensionless wave profiles as functions of the distance from the shore are presented for several combinations of wave periods and beach slopes.
