heal.abstract	Numerical simulation of wave breaking over relatively mild sloping beaches is pursued in this study with the implementation of a modern promissory method called Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics.Validation of the method is attempted through the use and calibration of a recent free academic 'open source' code called SPHysics. Its various assumptions and parameters are adjusted to simulate experimental results.An effort is undertaken to confirmits ability to capture the near-shore wave breaking and consequent bore formation dynamics in the surf/swash zone. Inherent and calibration defects of the model are highlighted and particular upgrading measures are suggested for oncoming research. © 2010 Taylor & Francis Group, London.	en
