Describe pre-processing software
|
To
assist STWAVE users in generating input files and visualizing output files, a user
interface has been built for STWAVE within the Surface-water Modeling System
(Brigham Young University Engineering Computer Graphics Laboratory
(ECGL) 1997). The SMS interface supports grid generation, interpolation of
current fields, generation of input spectra, visualization of wave heights, periods,
and directions, and visualization of output spectra. U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers users are supported through the Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory
(http://chl.wes.army.mil/software/sms/), and non-Corps users can get information
from ECGL (http://www.ecgl.byu.edu

Process
Describe processes represented by the model
|
STWAVE simulates depth-induced wave refraction and shoaling, current-
induced refraction and shoaling, depth- and steepness-induced wave breaking,
diffraction, wind-wave growth, and wave-wave interaction and whitecapping that
redistribute and dissipate energy in a growing wave field.

Model Assumptions
- Mild bottom slope and negligible wave reflection
- Spatially homogeneous offshore wave conditions
- Steady-state waves, currents, and winds
