STWAVE
Steady State Spectral Wave
Steady State Spectral Wave (STWAVE) is a coastal model that includes nearshore wave propagation, wave-shore interactions, and wind-wave interaction processes.

- Model Information
- For more information about this model, go to www.erdc.usace.army.mil
- Spatial Resolution
- The spatial resolution is defined by a rectangular cartesian grid, and is specified by the user. Can also specify a sub-grid size for calculation purposes. Spatial datasets are time independent and different parameters can be provided for space and time increments.
- Temporal Resolution
- The model assumes wind and wave dynamics are at steady state conditions. Time step is user specified and ranges from seconds to days. Simulation duration can be on the order of years.
- Outputs
- Outputs include wave parameters.
- Intended User
- practitioner
- Model Type
- coastal
- Inclusion of Climate Change
- Climate conditions are incorporated through input datasets. Spatial and time independent data would have to be manipulated to this end.
