If you need an app that can simulate waves that are sliding over shores, in different ways, SWAN can give you a helping hand. The tool was developed as an Open Source and accessible third-generation wave model.

SWAN (Simulating Waves Nearshore) is a tool that manages to compute random, short-crested wind-generated waves in coastal regions and inland waters.

SWAN has a rich library of physics effects that can come in handy for interested developers.  You can take advantage of wave propagation in time and space, shoaling, refraction due to current and depth, frequency shifting due to currents and non-stationary depth.

Also, there is a feature that lets you generate waves based on winds speeds. If you need powerful smashing waves or relaxing water movement, the app can provide.

Wave interaction (up to four waves), dissipation, whitecapping, bottom friction, and depth-induced breaking, propagation from laboratory up to global scales, transmission through and reflection (specular and diffuse) against obstacles and diffraction are important parts of this tool's arsenal.

SWAN is a neat wave simulator that can help users to create animations for either entertainment purposes or scientific or nature-based simulations.

What's new in SWAN 41.20AB:

  • The so-called observation-consistent wind input and white capping, known as the ST6 physics, is included as an option. In addition, dissipation of swell energy is also included. This ST6 package can be considered as an alternative to the Komen and Janssen formulations. Details on the ST6 physics are described in Rogers et al. (2012) and it is based on the work of Babanin, Young, Tsagareli, Ardhuin and others (see references therein).
