A practical stochastic method for estimating the wave run-up height on a slender vertical circular cylinder for long-crested (two-dimensional (2D)) and short-crested (three-dimensional (3D)) non-linear random waves is provided. This is achieved by using the velocity stagnation head theory in conjunction with a stochastic approach. Here the waves are assumed to be a stationary narrow-band random process. The effects of non-linear waves are included by adopting the Forristall wave crest height distribution representing both 2D and 3D non-linear random waves. A parameter study is provided and, for both 2D and 3D non-linear random waves, the wave run-up height is larger than for linear random waves. In shallow water, when the water is sufficiently shallow, the maximum wave run-up height is larger for 3D waves than for 2D waves. Comparisons are also made with measurements of the maximum wave run-up heights for 2D random waves in a finite water depth by De Vos et al., and it appears that the data are well predicted if the predictions are calibrated with the data. Therefore the present approach represents a model which can be validated against and adjusted to field data.
