SWASH is a general-purpose numerical tool for simulating unsteady, non-hydrostatic, free-surface, rotational flow and transport phenomena in coastal waters as driven by waves, tides, buoyancy and wind forces.

SWASH is a general-purpose numerical tool for simulating unsteady, non-hydrostatic, free-surface, rotational flow and transport phenomena in coastal waters as driven by waves, tides, buoyancy and wind forces.

SWASH (an acronym of Simulating WAves till SHore) is a non-hydrostatic wave-flow model and is intended to be used for predicting transformation of dispersive surface waves from offshore to the beach for studying the surf zone and swash zone dynamics, wave propagation and agitation in ports and harbours, rapidly varied shallow water flows ...

SWASH source code. The source code for the latest stable release can be downloaded here. This distribution may be implemented on Windows, Linux, macOS and Unix-like systems, provided a Fortran90 compiler is available.

A number of analytical and laboratory test cases have been selected to convey the capabilities of the model to deal with several processes such as wave propagation, dispersion, refraction, diffraction, flooding and drying, moving shoreline, hydraulic jumps, cross-shore motions of irregular breaking waves, surf beats, infragravity waves, short ...

standing for Simulating WAves till SHore. The basic philosophy of the SWASH code is to provide an efficient and robust model that allows a wide range of time and space scales of surface waves and shallow water flows in complex environments to be applied. As a result, SWASH allows for the entire modelling process to be carried out in any area of ...

This Implementation Manual is a part of the total material to implement the SWASH model on your computer system. The total material consists of: • the SWASH source code, • the pre-built SWASH release for Windows, • the User Manual, • this Implementation Manual, • some test cases. All of the material can be found at the official SWASH ...

SWASH can be used operationally and the software can be used freely under the GNU GPL license (http://swash.sourceforge.net). In this paper we present a comprehensive description of the SWASH code

SWASH is a free-surface, terrain-following, multi-dimensional hydrodynamic simulation model to describe unsteady, rotational flow and transport phenomena in coastal waters as driven by e.g., waves, tides, buoyancy and wind forces.

This underlies the capability of SWASH of simulating processes at scales that range from centimeters to tens of kilometers and from seconds to hours. An alternative to the many well-known wind drag parameterizations (Wu, Garratt, Smith and Banke, etc.) is added.
