The Continued Development of the Third-generation Shallow Water Wave Model 'Swan'

Abstract

The long-term goal of this effort is to provide a commonly accepted third-generation wave model for shallow water to the international community of scientists and engineers for the purpose of basic research and operational wave computations (public agencies such as army, navy, harbor authorities, universities and private industry such as oil companies, engineering companies, etc.). The main objective is to support and assist the continued development, validation and verification of the SWAN model and its use in operational conditions. The development will be based on new scientific insights in the evolution of waves in shallow water. The verification and validation will be based on field observations and laboratory experiments supplemented with numerical experiments. Operational use will be supported with first-line assistance and diagnostics.
