Waves

CHEWPCE – HWAVE: The module describing wave diffraction, refraction and transformation on bottom inhomogeneities and currents on the basis of hyperbolic approximation of mild slope equation, which are more widely appreciable than parabolic approximation and more computational efficient then an elliptic one. The planned improvements include implementation of the new wave breaking parameterization and improvement of the wave radiation stress calculations on the basis of including the new parameterization of the breaking rollers energy losses.
