SWAN+ADCIRC
Updated 2012/04/12: Added a link to the page describing the limiters.
This page summarizes the posts on this Web site that are about the coupling of SWAN+ADCIRC. It should provide a better starting introduction to running the model than a cursory search through the archives. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Instructions
New users should begin with the first link below. It provides step-by-step instructions about how to compile and run SWAN+ADCIRC, and it has been updated as the code has been revised.
Running the Model
Although the following posts do contain instructions, their focus is really on sharing our experiences while running the model. They describe a few new features as we have added them, and they illustrate some of the issues that we have faced, including some that remain works in progress.
- Swell Propagation on Fine Meshes
- Integral Coupling of Bottom Friction
- Wind Drag Based on Storm Sectors
- Wave Refraction on Coarse Meshes
- Wave Refraction on Coarse Meshes, Part 2
- Controlling Errors with Limiters on Spectral Propagation Velocities
Publications
Finally, there are a few publications that describe SWAN+ADCIRC and its applications, especially to hurricane waves and surge in the Gulf of Mexico.
Mechanics of the Coupling:
- Modeling Hurricane Waves and Storm Surge using Integrally-Coupled, Scalable Computations
- Performance of the Unstructured-Mesh, SWAN+ADCIRC Model in Computing Hurricane Waves and Surge
Applications to Hurricane Waves and Surge:
- Origin of the Hurricane Ike Forerunner Surge
- Hurricane Gustav (2008) Waves and Storm Surge: Hindcast, Synoptic Analysis, and Validation in Southern Louisiana
