Wave models

• HISWA is a two dimensional spectral wave model (parameterised in frequency) for wave propagation in shallow water including refraction and shoaling, growth due to wind action and dissipation by bottom friction and breaking;
• SWAN is a two dimensional full spectral wave model for wave propagation in shallow water including refraction and shoaling, growth due to wind action, non-linear wave interactions (Triad and Quadruplet) and dissipation by bottom friction and breaking;
• HYDROBASE is a model system with tools for statistical analysis, data presentation and simple models for various wave generation and propagation effects. Applications include prediction of local normal and extreme metocean conditions and downtime computations;
• DIFFRAC2DH is a two dimensional model for the wave penetration of harbours including diffraction and partial reflection.

HISWA and SWAN have been developed by Delft University of Technology.
HYDROBASE is an in-house development of Alkyon Hydraulic Consultancy & Research.
DIFFRAC2DH has been developed by WL|Delft Hydraulics.

Our engineers and researchers have extensive experience with all above mentioned models and Alkyon Hydraulic Consultancy & Research is authorised to apply the models.
