STWAVE: Steady-State Spectral Wave Model User's Manual for STWAVE, Version 3.0

Abstract

This report describes application of the steady-state spectra wave model, STWAVE. The purpose of STWAVE is to provide an easy-to-apply, flexible, and robust model for nearshore wind-wave growth and propagation. Recent upgrades to the model include calculation of radiation stresses and increase in computational speed. STWAVE has also been incorporated into the Surface-Water Modeling System, which provides a user interface and supporting software for grid generation, interpolation of current fields, generation of input spectra, and visualization of model output.
