We briefly analyze some characteristics of the behavior in very shallow waters i.e. near the shoreline of high-order (dispersive-nonlinear) Boussinesq-type equations. By using the Carrier and Greenspan (1958) solution as test flow conditions we illustrate the behavior of both purely dispersive and dispersive-nonlinear contributions near the shoreline. It is also shown that Boussinesq-type equations can be more usefully handled in the swash zone if written in terms of the total water depth. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract
We briefly analyze some characteristics of the behavior in very shallow waters i.e. near the shoreline of high-order (dispersive-nonlinear) Boussinesq-type equations. By using the Carrier and Greenspan (1958) solution as test flow conditions we illustrate the behavior of both purely dispersive and dispersive-nonlinear contributions near the shoreline. It is also shown that Boussinesq-type equations can be more usefully handled in the swash zone if written in terms of the total water depth. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
