RUNUP, Version 2.0

Summary

RUNUP, Version 2.0, is a DOS-based program for wave runup computation. This program uses stillwater elevation, shore profile and roughness, and incident wave condition input information to compute a wave runup elevation that is consistent with the most detailed guidance currently available. Guidance on coastal modeling of wave runup and RUNUP 2.0 is available in FEMA’s Guidelines and Specifications for Flood Hazard Mapping Partners, Appendix D. Updates to the Atlantic and Gulf and Pacific Coast sections of Appendix D can be found at the links below:

For more information about how to use the program, please view the readme file. Click on the "More Info" icon if you need additional information about how to obtain and use WinZip.

  3. Set up the necessary input and output files for the program as outlined in the RUNUP, Version 2.0, readme file. After this step is complete, you are ready to use RUNUP to calculate wave runup.

  4. Go to the DOS prompt and navigate to the directory where the RUNUP files were saved in Step 2.

  5. Run RUNUP by typing the following at the DOS prompt:

               x:\DirectoryName\Runup2 Filename.in Filename.out

    Where:
    x= the drive where the RUNUP files are located;
    DirectoryName = the name of the directory where the RUNUP files are located;
    Runup2 = the command to start the RUNUP program;
    Filename.in = the name of the RUNUP input file; and
    Filename.out = the name of the RUNUP output file.
