When a wave of permanent form is obliquely incident on an inclined plane, the wave pattern becomes stationary in a frame of reference which moves along the shore. This enables a simplified mathematical description of the problem which is used herein as a basis for efficient and accurate numerical simulations. First, a nonlinear and weakly dispersive set of Boussinesq equations for the downstream evolution of such stationary patterns is derived. In the hydrostatic approximation, streamline-based Lagrangian versions of the evolution equations are developed for automatic tracing of the shoreline. Both equation sets are, in their present form, developed for non-breaking waves only. Finite difference models for both equation sets are designed. These methods are then coupled dynamically to obtain a single nonlinear model with dispersive wave propagation in finite depth and an accurate runup representation. The models are tested by runup of waves at normal incidence and comparison with a more general model for the refraction of a solitary wave on a slope. Finally, a set of runup computations for oblique solitary waves is performed and compared with estimates of oblique runup heights obtained from a combination of an analytic solution for normal incidence and optics. We find that the runup heights decrease in proportion to the square of the angle of incidence for angles up to 45°, for which the height is reduced by around 12% relative to that of normal incidence. In Appendix A, the validity of the downstream formulation is discussed in the light of solitary wave optics and wave jumps.
