Definition (Sorensen [1]):
Wave runup is the maximum vertical extent of wave uprush on a beach or a structure above the still water level

Physical simulation of wave run-up
Experimental validation of the resonance phenomenon
In Discussion section:
Experimental values of frequencies f3−4practically coincide with frequencies of modes having nodes near the wave maker; numerical values (Stefanakis et al., 2011) exceed this frequency by 2.5% for all bottom inclinations. The reason of such differences is not clear yet.

What happens if we have two slopes?
A natural generalization of the previous situation
Theresonance conditionthis time reads:
J0(σ1) −J0(σ2) −Y0(σ2) J1(σ1) −J1(σ2) −Y1(σ2) 0 J0(σ3) Y0(σ3)
=0.

Almost conclusions...
Question:
Why previous investigations did not unveil this phenomenon?
One has to consider a BVP instead of the IVP!
Literal descriptions existed however [6]:
[Resonant run-up] occurs when run-down is in a low position and wave breaking takes place simultaneously and
repeatedly close to that location.
Alternative view of this work:
, We proposed a hydrodynamic method to compute zeros of the Bessel function J0(ξ) =0
