Diffraction and reflection of irregular waves in a harbor employing a spectral model

Diffraction and reflection of irregular waves in a harbor employing a spectral model

The SWAN wave model is widely used in coastal waters and the main focus of this work is on its application in a harbor. Its last released version - SWAN 40.51 - includes an approximation to compute diffraction, however, so far there are few published works that discuss this matter. The performance o...
