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 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...
