SWAN course

The SWAN course is a hyperlinked text (just like this website). It is designed as an introduction to beginning SWAN users who are familiar with the fundamentals of wave dynamics but who have no experience with the practicalities of numerical wave modelling.

Subjects treated in the course are the following:

  • Installing and running SWAN and the Graphical User Interface
  • Choice of the computational grid, location, size, step sizes
  • the influence of the lateral boundaries
  • Boundary conditions
  • Nesting, not only the simple case, but also more exceptional cases
  • Checking input data such as bathymetry, current field etc.
  • The iterative behaviour of Swan
  • properties of the various source terms and how to find their values
  • comparing SWAN results with observations
The course is illustrated with numerous examples generated with Swan-DHH (SWAN with graphics extension), OPGraph and the Graphical User Interface for SWAN. Some control files for Swan-DHH and OPGraph are included so that users can see in detail how the results were obtained.

Package offer from DHH

The SWAN course is delivered together with the Graphical User Interface for SWAN, the newest SWAN version (40.72) with graphics extension and OPGraph for € 450 (excl VAT) per year. A demo version which is functionally identical but with a shorter license period, can be applied for at info@digital-hydraulics.com.
The package is available only for MS-Windows based systems.
