[swanmodel-users] SWAN-SWASH Coupling

[<sem...@do...>]

Dear Community,

We are performing a SWAN-SWASH coupling study. In this context, for a better
understanding of the coupling concept, we obtained spectral output from SWAN
model at 1, 10 and 500 points along the open boundary of the SWASH domain.
Then we used these spectra as boundary condition in SWASH model and ran
60-minute simulations for each case.

We are aware that SWASH internally interpolates the input spectra along the
boundary. However, we are uncertain about the appropriate spatial spacing of
the spectral output points.

Our literature review did not yield a clear answer. Therefore, we consider
that it is reasonable to define the spectral inputs at intervals of
approximately one wavelength for swell and wind waves, separately. However,
we are very interested your opinion and suggestions on this subject.        

Best regards,
