Full Plane STWAVE: SMS Graphical Interface.

摘要

STWAVE solves the steady-state conservation of spectral wave action along backward traced wave rays (Smith 2001). The model is used to compute wave transformation (refraction, shoaling, and breaking) and wind-wave generation. Previous versions of STWAVE operated on a half plane, meaning that only wave energy traveling within a 180-deg arc is considered (i.e., wave energy propagating from offshore to the beach). The half-plane assumption is appropriate for most open coast applications, but for bays, lakes, or complex shorelines, wave transformation and generation on the full 360-deg plane is required. The full-plane version of STWAVE (STWAVE-FP) includes several changes to model input, output, and modeling procedures. These include the potential specification of spectral inputs on all edges of the computational domain, additional model parameters, and new file formats. This CHETN describes the interface developed for STWAVE-FP and the file formats associated with the model.
