DESCRIPTION:Prof. Maurizio Brocchini\, DICEA Universit`a Politecnica delle
  Marche - Ancona\, I\,  invited professor at ENAC-IIC-LHE\nThe dynamics o
 f wave-forced flows near the shoreline is illustrated and discussed\, with
  specific focus on the influence that frictional Chezy contributions have 
 on the shoreline motion  itself [1].  An asymptotic analysis\,  valid 
  for vanishing  water  depths\,  reveals that the  use of such  a ter
 m  leads  to  a non-receding  motion  of the  shoreline. This phenom
 enon  is induced  by a thin  layer  of water  which\,  because  of 
 frictional  forces\, remains  on the  beach  and  keeps it wet seawar
 d  of the  largest  run-up. However\, the dynamical  influence of such
  a frictional  layer  of water  on the  global wave motion  is very w
 eak and practically negligible for most of the swash zone flow. The presen
 ce of a non-receding  shoreline  has called to some clarifications  on 
 the  role of some ad-hoc tools used in numerical  models for the predict
 ion  of the wet/dry interface.
