Model:WWTM

WWTM

Also known as
Model type	Single
Model part of larger framework

Incorporated models or components:

Spatial dimensions	2D
Spatial extent	Landscape-Scale, Regional-Scale
Model domain	Coastal
One-line model description	The WWTM (Wind Wave Tidal Model) has been developed to describe hydrodynamic and wind-wave generation and propagation within shallow tidal environments
Extended model description	The hydrodynamic module of WWTM solves the shallow water equations modified through the introduction of a refined sub-grid model of topography to deal with flooding and drying processes in irregular domains (Defina, 2000). The numerical model, which uses finite-element technique and discretizes the domain with triangular elements, has been extensively tested in recent years in the Venice lagoon, Italy (D’Alpaos and Defina, 2007, Carniello et al., 2005; Carniello et al., 2009). For the wind wave modulel the wave action conservation equation is used, solved numerically with a finite volume scheme, and fully coupled with the hydrodynamic module (see Carniello et al. 2005). The two modules share the same computational grid.
