Salmon, J.E. (author), Holthuijsen, L.H. (author), Smit, P.B. (author), Van Vledder, G.P. (author), Zijlema, M. (author)This paper presents the application of new source terms in SWAN for the dominant water wave physics in the coastal zone: depth-induced breaking and triad wave-wave interactions. We present results demonstrating increased modelling skill in the prediction of bulk wave parameters e.g. significant wave height and of the spectral shape compared to...conference paper 2014

Zijlema, M. (author), Van Vledder, G.P. (author), Holthuijsen, L.H. (author), Salmon, J.E. (author), Smit, P.B. (author)The SWAN model is a third-generation spectral wave prediction model developed by Delft University of Technology. Since its initial release in 1998 this model has become a widely used and reliable tool for offshore and near shore wave predictions. Its main field of application is the coastal zone where, by virtue of its implicit numerical scheme,...conference paper 2013

(author), Atkinson, J.H. (author), Tanaka, S. (author), Westerink, H.J. (author), Westerink, L.G. (author)Hurricane Ike (2008) made landfall near Galveston, Texas, as a moderate intensity storm. Its large wind field in conjunction with the Louisiana-Texas coastline's broad shelf and large scale concave geometry generated waves and surge that impacted over 1000 km of coastline. Ike's complex and varied wave and surge response physics included: the...journal article 2013

Holthuijsen, L.H. (author), Powell, M.D. (author), Pietrzak, J.D. (author)Waves breaking at the ocean surface are important to the dynamical, chemical and biological processes at the air-sea interface. The traditional view is that the white capping and aero-dynamical surface roughness increase with wind speed up to a limiting value. This view is fundamental to hurricane forecasting and climate research but it has...journal article 2012

Casas-Prat, M. (author), Holthuijsen, L.H. (author)The short?term statistics of 10 million individual waves observed with buoys in deep water have been investigated, corrected for a sample?rate bias, and normalized with the standard deviation of the surface elevation (the range of normalized wave heights is 0 < H < 10). The observed normalized trough depths are found to be Rayleigh distributed...journal article 2010

Holthuijsen, L.H. (author)The geometry of the seabottom may cause waves to refract such that a concentration of wave-energy occurs. In view of the particular shape and dimensions of the Dogger Bank, it was interesting to find out whether such a phenomenon may occur in this area. It is expected that only longer waves will show the effect mentioned (periods of about 12 s)....report 1973
