Validation of the wave prediction model SWAN using field data from Lake George, Australia

In this thesis, the wave prediction model SWAN is validated on field data obtained from wave growth experiments that were done in Lake George, a shallow lake in Australia. SWAN, which is an acronym for Simulation of WAves in Nearshore areas, is a numerical model, developed at the University of Technology in Delft, to obtain estimates of wave...

A new method for the generation of second-order random waves

For the generation of second-order random waves in a flume the control signal for the wave board has to be correct up to second order. An expression for this control signal is derived with the perturbation method of multiple scales. It is much less complex and requires less computation time than the expressions obtained from the full second...
