0 In some sports, a run-up is a period or distance of running that you do in order to be going fast enough to perform a particular action:
3 a sudden and unexpected increase in price:
We have also calculated the maximum run-up amplitude of two colliding waves.
However, by the time of the run-up to the election in 2002, there were indications that they were having to learn to behave themselves.
The accident provided a target for attacks on the government during the run-up to parliamentary elections.
The results are used in conjunction with earlier one-dimensional analyses to estimate the total tsunami run-up.
Well, he was at the time of writing, in the run-up to an election.
A run-up estimate based on the full, nonlinear, two-dimensional long wave solution would be most desirable.
The model over-predicts the measured run-up at the wall, and no evidence of the predicted maximum was found.
The refractive influence on tsunami run-up of the offshore bottom topography of islands is analyzed.
