The Continued Development of the Third-generation Shallow Water Wave Model "SWAN"

This report briefly describes the development of the SWAN model compared to the previous authorized version, SWAN 40.01. The most recent version of SWAN, SWAN 40.11 Cycle III was released on the 26th of October 2000.

A Numerical Wave Model for the Refraction and Diffraction of Irregular Waves. Part II: Numerical Experiments of the Wave Model CREON

The numerical wave model CREON is developed to predict the propagation and transformation of wave properties in shallow water. In Gao et al. (1993), which is referred to as Part I in the following, a description is given of the theoretical and numerical treatment of the model. In the present report, we present various computational results. The...

Selection and formulation of a numerical shallow water wave hindcast model

Formulate a numerical wave hindcast model which can be used to obtain realistic estimates of wave conditions in the Oosterschelde as input to a numerical geomorphological model. A directionally decoupled, parametric wave hindeast model is recommended that includes parameterized versions of conventional bottom- and current refraction, some degree...

Simulation of main flow and secondary flow in a curved open channel

Knowledge of the secondary flow is essential for predictions about the morphology of alluvial bottoms in tidal channels. In this research the determination of the secondary flow is based on a known depth averaged velocity field. The depth averaged velocities must be computed with a high accuracy in order to make possible a reasonable...
