D-Waves
D-Waves, as the successor of Delft3D-WAVE, computes the non-steady propagation of short-crested waves over an uneven bottom, considering wind action, energy dissipation due to bottom friction, wave breaking, refraction (due to bottom topography, water levels and flow fields), shoaling and directional spreading.
The module is based on the spectral model SWAN. This model is a development of the Delft University of Technology, which is a close partner of Deltares in a number of research fields. For many decades, both institutes have been prominent in the field of wave modelling.
Delft3D FM beta testing – research programme
The 3D part of the D-Waves module is available under our prerelease software licensing conditions and within our beta testing - research programme only. For our beta testing – research programme, please contact software@deltares.nl.
