Shallow Water Intercomparison of Wave Models — Part I Three Different Concepts to Model Surface Waves in Finite Water Depth

  • Chapter
The Ocean Surface

Abstract

The SWIM-project is an extension into water of finite depth of the SWAMP-study (1982, 1984), which investigated the deep water performance of different wave prediction models.

In this paper we review the deep water parts of three of the SWAMP models and describe their extension into water of finite depth. Main emphasis is given to a comparison of the different concepts to reduce wave energy.

The results of the intercomparison for artificial cases and a real hindcast are presented in the following two papers.
