Synopsis

Predict coastal wave behavior with a practical, field-ready model.

This guide describes a regional wave propagation tool that engineers can use to forecast how linear waves move over arbitrary bathymetry. It emphasizes a usable, early version of the system designed to support coastal planning and protection work.

The book explains the RCPWAVE model, how it handles short-wave propagation, and how the results can feed into larger coastal process simulations. It also notes that the model has been verified with laboratory and field data, and includes examples and a user’s manual to help potential users run tests and interpret outputs.

• Predict linear, plane-wave propagation over regional bathymetry.
• Learn how to run the model with sample input/output files and job procedures.
• See comparisons with laboratory and field data for validation.
• Understand how this model fits into a broader coastal modeling system.

Ideal for engineers and field staff who need a practical tool to assess coastal changes and plan protective measures.
