An approach of decomposing the reflecting components is proposed by using the mild-slope equation of hyperbolic type which has the similar form to the shallow water equations. The approach is verified on Booij's problem and sinusoidally varying ripples. Inclusion of higher-order bottom effect given by chamberlain and Porter(1995) yields even more satisfactory results than the Berkhoff's mild-slope equation when compared with finite element solution or experiments.

In this study, Mild slope equation is extended to both of rapidly varying topography and nonlinear waves in a Hamiltonian formulation. It is shown that its linearzed form is the same as the modified mild-slope equation proposed by Kirby and Misra(1998) And assuming that the bottom slopes are very slowly, it is the equivalent with nonlinear mild-slope equation proposed by Isobe(]994) for the monochromatic wave. Using finite-difference method, it is solved numerically and verified, comparing with the results of some hydraulic experiments. A good agreement between them is shown.
