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.

Transfer of ocean modelling capability to two scientists of the National Institute of Oceanography of India

Two scientists from the National Institute of Oceanography of India have been trained to use the storm surge model DUCHESS and the wave model DOLPHIN. The results are published separately in two reports. This is the first of them.

A numerical wave prediction model DOLPHIN: Theory and test results

This report gives the basic theory of ocean waves and ocean wave prediction and a description of the physical background and of tests of the wave hindcast model DOLPHIN.

The shallow water wave hindcast model: HISWA Part IV: system documentation

Development of a two-dimensional model to hindcast spectral wave parameters in an estuary with tidal flats on the basis of bottomtopography, current and wind data. This part IV contains the system documentation of the HISWA model.

The shallow water wave hindcast model: HISWA Part II: test cases

Development of a two-dimensional model to hindcast spectral wave parameters in an estuary with tidal flats on the basis of bottomtopography, current and wind data. Computational results of the HISWA model with default parameter values are compared with field observations in the Haringvliet and over the Galgenplaat. The results indicate that some...

Implementation (II) of the numerical shallow water wave hindcast model HISWA

Development of a two-dimensional model to hindcast spectral wave parameters in an estuary with tidal flats on the basis of bottomtopography, current and wind data. Diffraction-like propagation has been implemented and tested. Tests indicate that this type of propagation cannot.be used for most applications. Wave growth and decay has been...

Implementation (I) of the numerical shallow water wave hindcast model HISWA

Development of a two-dimensional model to hindcast spectral wave parameters in an estuary with tidal flats on the basis of bottomtopography, current and wind data. The propagation of waves has been implemented (except diffraction) and tested. The input program is under design. The output program will be developed in two versions.

The design of a numerical shallow water wave hindcast model

Development of a two-dimensional model to hindcast spectral wave parameters in an estuary with tidal flats on the basis of bottom topography, current- and wind data. HISWA is a directionally decoupled parametric wave hindcast model containing bottom- and current refraction, diffraction, wave growth and dissipation. The design for this hindcast...

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...
