Abstract
To estimate wave motion, the finite element method is presented based on the linear interpolation function and two‐step explicit numerical integration in time. For the determination of free surface position, the two‐step scheme based on the Eulerian technique is usefully employed. Travel and run‐up of solitary wave have been analysed and compared with the analytical solution. Both results are reasonably well in agreement. This method is applied to estimate the wave force on the practical breakwater to show the validity of the method.Keywords
