An analytical theory is developed for the wave setup and setdown induced by obliquely incident waves on an impermeable swell-built beach profile. The wave setup and setdown are found to decrease as wave obliquity increases. The incorporation of wave obliquity in wave setup and setdown formulation of

The authors are grateful to the derivation and correction addressed by Shi and Kirby (2008) for the calculation of the wave setup and setdown induced by obliquely incident waves. The mathematical equations for the expression of setup and setdown are rederived in which the velocity potential is expan
In continuation of a recent companion paper (Skotner, C., Apelt, C.J., Application of a Boussinesq model for the computation of breaking waves. Part 1: Development and verification. Ocean Eng., in press) describing the development of a set of Boussinesq equations that can be used to study the transf
Coastal Engineering, 53, 865-877, 2006) , the authors derived theoretical formulations for calculating the wave setup and setdown induced by obliquely incident waves on a beach. The derivation of an expression for setdown contains errors which would lead to an imbalance in longshore momentum flux o
