Re: [swanmodel-users] Wave Power in SWAN

[Ewelina L. <elu...@gm...>]

Hi Agustinus,

SWAN integrates the energy density across each frequency and directional
bin at a particular node, multiplies it by the group velocity, density of
water and a gravitational constant. The new SWAN technical documentation
41.1 has the equations written on pages 8 and 9.

Hope that helps!
