Focused wave groups o er a means for coastal engineers to determine extreme run-up and overtopping events. Numerical predictions and laboratory measurements are presented of NewWave-type focused wave groups generated by a pistontype paddle generator, and interacting with a plane beach and a seawall in a wave basin. The numerical wave tank is based on the Boussinesq equations for non-breaking waves, and the non-linear shallow water equations for broken waves. Good agreement is achieved between the numerical predictions and laboratory measurements of free surface elevation,run-up distances and overtopping volumes for the test cases driven by linear paddle signals. Errors in run-up distance and overtopping volume are then assessed by repeating the test cases using second-order accurate wave generation signals. Focused wave groups generated using rst-order wave-maker theory are found to be substantially contaminated by a preceding long error wave, resulting in erroneously enhanced run-up distances and overtopping volumes. The use of second-order wave-maker theory for wave group run-up and overtopping experiments is instead recommended.
