Wave Parameters Calculator
The BOUSS-2D interface of SMS includes a generic wave attributes calculator to assist the user
when defining parameters such as damping widths and cell sizes, which require information about
maximum wave height, steepness, wavelength, celerity etc. The Wave Parameters calculator
provides users a quick estimate of these and other wave parameters. To access the Wave
BOUSS-2D Calculators dialog. The Wave Parameters calculator is a tab in the BOUSS-2D
interface.
Figure B1. Wave Parameters calculator
To use the calculator, the user supplies the following:
(1) Wave period, T. When the dialog opens, the wave period is set to 0.0 by default. The period
is forced to be a number greater than or equal to 0.0. When the user changes the period, the
calculated wave parameters are updated.
