Swell propagation in a natural coastal channel in the SWAN model

Compare the 1D spectrum computed in SWAN (Svasek, 2007) with it measured by buoy OS4 in the Oosterschelde Estuary, serious underestimation of wave energy can be found on low-frequency band. Investigation has been performed to find the possible reasons for the missing energy on low frequency part. In this study, diffraction is hypothesized as the...

Onderzoek naar de golfbeweging nabij Ameland

In (II) wordt gesteld dat de niet-lineaire wisselwerking tussen deining en zeegang zeer zwak is. Dit opent de mogelijkheid om de voortplanting van deining en de lokale golfgroei onafhankelijk van elkaar te beschouwen; in de hoofdstukken 2 t/m 5 wordt eerst gezocht naar een geschikt model om de voortplanting van deining te kunnen simuleren in...
