The SWANSURF Wave Model Implementation and User Manual

Abstract

This report describes the implementation and usage of 'SWANSURF', a graphically-driven program for the modelling of waves and surf conditions in the littoral, in support of amphibious operations. The program is based on a coupling of the SWAN (Simulating Waves Nearshore) model developed by the Delft University of Technology and the SURF model (or the Navy Standard Surf Model) developed by the US Navy. The Graphical User Interface provides a platform that allows the user to easily enter inputs, run the coupled models, view the results and forecast the potential impacts of the conditions on amphibious and other littoral operations.
