| Designing marine structures including shore or offshore requires information about wave regime. For
this purpose, different methods were used including empirical methods and numerical models to simulate
the wave characteristics. SWAN (Simulating Waves Nearshore) which has been developed for shallow
waters had been used for modeling the waves in Anzali port. Wind data obtained from Europe central
middle weather forecasting (ECMWF) on 2003 were used as model input and Bathymetry was obtained
from NOAA site.
To achieve more accurate results, the model was firstly ran in the whole Caspian Sea and then, in
Anzali port. Boundary condition of local model was extracted from Caspian Sea model. Calibration of the
model was carried out using measured wave data. For verifying, the results were compared to those
obtained from the project ISWM. The results indicate acceptable accuracy compared to buoy
measurements. However, the modeled peak period is underestimated. Therefore, a correction factor should
be considered for peak period. |
