ADVANCES IN THE UNSTRUCTURED WAVEWATCH III AND APPLICATION TO HURRICANE DORIAN
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2020 The spectral wave generation and propagation model WAVEWATCH III (WW3) is undergoing rapid development to extend capability and applicability. An option for unstructured grids and implicit solution provides WW3 with the flexibility and efficiency to resolve complex shorelines and high-gradient wave zones to drive nearshore circulation, wave setup, and ...

VALIDATION OF UNSTRUCTURED WAVEWATCH III FOR NEARSHORE WAVES
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2018 Unstructured wave model grids in the nearshore coastal region provide flexibility and efficiency to resolve complex shorelines and high-gradient wave zones to drive nearshore circulation, wave setup and wave-driven sediment transport. Recent improvements to the unstructured version of WAVEWATCH III (WW3) (WW3DG 2016) to support nearshore application ...
