cx, cy = propagation velocities (x- and y- directions) = relative frequency = wave direction

S = source/sink term for: - wind-wave generation - wave breaking - bottom dissipation - nonlinear wave-wave interactions

SWAN accounts for shoaling, diffraction, partial transmission, and reflection.

N = wave action density (energy density / relative frequency)

This is for the BOTTOM (bathymetry)

Can make this as STATIONARY, then don’t need start:dt:endto get init conditions files.

How to create a SWAN application

1) cppdefs.h 2) grids 3) wind forcing 4) boundary conditions 5) INPUT 6) coawst.bash 7) run it

1) cppdefs.h

just do SWAN MODEL for now

will ad refined grid later

2) gridscreate_roms_xy_grid

1) you can use the CGRID Regular command

or

2) create a ROMS grid using any of the tools mentioned before, then runroms2swan(x, y, depth, mask)

for example, the bottom of the create_roms_xy_gridcalls to roms2swan. This creates 2 files:

grid_coord.grd (goes with READGRID COORDS)swan_bathy.bot (goes with READINP BOTTOM)

3) wind forcingCan use Tools\mfiles\mtools\narr2romsnc.mAt the end of this file, it creates the wind forcing file for SWAN.Need to add this wind file name to READINP WIND.

4) boundary conditions - TPAR

Can use Tools\mfiles\swan_forc\ww3_swan_input.mTo read WW3 model output and create SWAN TPAR boundary forcing files.

5) INPUT

Projects/Inlet_Test/Swanonly/swan_inlet_test.in

6) coawst.bash7) run it

Build it by setting the Project name and paths in the coawst.bash.

Run it by call to coawstM, but now need to explicitly state input file name

mpiexec -np 4 ./coawstM Projects/Inlet_test/Swanonly/swan_inlet_test.in

SWAN with grid refinement

#define SWAN_MODEL #define REFINED_GRID comile with nested_grids = 2 (or however

many) need 2 (or more) INPUT files. mpirun -np X ./coawstM

– change of wave direction (refraction) due to , bathy, and currents:

To activate these processes in SWAN

Need to activate CURRENT

WLEVFRIC

to get data from ROMS

No READINP since this datais coming from ROMS

Need to activate WIND

to get data from WRF

Grid dims don’t really matter. It gets the data from the other model

thru MCT.

- Wave age dependent formula but it also considers the effect of the wave steepness.

- Wave age based formula to characterize the ocean roughness. - They combined data from many field experiments representing a variety of condition and grouped the data as a function of the wind friction velocity.
