Modeling Nearshore Wave Transformation With STWAVE

Abstract

The purpose of this Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) is to provide guidance for applying the nearshore wave transformation model STWAVE. Background information is provided to give the context for the application of STWAVE relative to other wave modeling technology. The STWAVE model is described, and application of STWAVE within the Surfacewater Modeling System (SMS) interface is discussed. Web sites to download the STWAVE executable and user manual are given.
