Application of Wave Model YW-WAM to Coastal Engineering

摘要

In consideration of the fact that the lack of wave observation data made in difficult to obtain deep water wave factors, a wave model of YW-WAM was established based on the observed data of wind field and the universal mathematical model WAM, which could provide rational design wave parameters for coastal engineering. the result of calculation with this model shows that the maximal relative error of wave height obtained with the model is 7% as compared with the measured data under the same wind field, while the maximal relative errors of wave height obtained by means of Code of Hydrology for Sea Harbor, Code of Design of Levee Project and SMB formula are 10%,30%,and 40% .respectively as compared with the measured data, therefore ,YW-WAM model can be applied to coastal engineering.
