Explore the fundamentals of wave transformation modelling in this informative webinar. Gain insights into wave propagation and transformation dynamics across various coastal environments. Learn key principles essential for effective wave modelling through clear explanations and illustrative examples. Prepare for advanced wave simulation using SWAN software developed at Delft University of Technology. Discover the importance of coastal modelling, understand wave characteristics, and explore concepts such as fetch, wave monographs, and different types of waves. Examine the capabilities of waves and various wave model types. Delve into wave modelling procedures and get an introduction to the SWAN training course. Participate in a Q&A session and learn about upcoming training opportunities in coastal modelling.
