[swash-users] Porosity layers after v4.01 implementation

[<hil...@im...>]

Dear community,

I recently noticed that the implementation of porosity layers in SWASH changed with v4.01 (some time ago, in 2017) from a two-term formulation (laminar and turbulent frictional forces following Engelund, 1953) to a three-term formulation (laminar and turbulent frictional forces plus an added-mass term, following Van Gent, 1995).

It seems that most of the validation and testing reported in the literature are from before these changes. Is anyone aware of any recent successful implementation of porosity layers in SWASH using the new formulation that could be shared? I am particularly interested in wave agitation studies involving both rock revetments and quay walls.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
Best regards,
