CGWAVE -
wave prediction model that simulates wave refraction, diffraction, reflection, nonlinear dispersion, and dissipation due to friction and breaking for a wide spectrum of input wave frequencies and directions
CGWAVE
CGWAVE (Panchang & Xu 1995) is a 2D finite element model based on the elliptic mild-slope wave equation. It is similar to wave models HARBD
(Chen and Mei 1974) and PHAROS (Kostense et al. 1986). CGWAVE can simultaneously simulate the effects of refraction, diffraction, reflections by bathymetry and structures, dissipation due to friction and breaking,
and nonlinear amplitude dispersion. The computational capabilities of CGWAVE model permit the modeling of large coastal regions. The governing equations of CGWAVE pass, in the limit, to the deep and shallow water
equations, making this model applicable to a wide range of frequencies, including short wind waves, swell, and infra-gravity waves.
The CGWAVE model interface in SMS is full featured and complete; SSG provides the interface to anyone requesting it in SMS. However, the CGWAVE
model (code and executable) is held and distributed privately by Vijay Panchang.
