Abstract

Modern design formula for coastal structures (like rock stability formula and overtopping formula use wave parameters (H2% and Tm-1,0) which are not readily available from standard boundary condition wave data. For transforming values like Hs and Tp to the parameters used in the new formulas, often-fixed conversion factors are used. However, this may lead to significant errors. Therefore, it is better to calculate these new parameters with an appropriate wave transformation model. The one-dimensional Graphical User Interface for SWAN (SwanOne) is presented as a simple tool to perform the required transformation.
