The solitary wave run-up in the presence of an onshore coastal cliff is investigated using the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method. A composite topography made of a steep slope, a gentle beach and a steep coastal cliff was used in the experimental and numerical studies to represent real lif...
