| Abstract: | The design of coastal structures as well as the evaluation of their safety level depend on the accuracy of predicting extreme wave conditions at the toe of those structures. The spectral wave model SWAN is used for that purpose, but it is known that SWAN provides inaccurate results in very shallow areas. Alternatively the Boussinesq-type wave model Triton can be applied in these areas. In this paper the coupled SWAN-Triton model is presented as well as the validation thereof. Application of this coupled model increases the accuracy of Hydraulic Boundary Conditions at the toe of sea defenses compared to application of SWAN only. | |
