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...

Validation of the numerical wave models SWAN and HISWA at Norderney

In coastal engineering waves often play a dominant role. To predict the wave behaviour in coastal regions numerical wave propagation models have been developed. This study deals with the verification of two models against measurements in the field, namely HISWA and SWAN. The second generation model HISWA has already proven to perform well for...
