Project description
): Numerical modelling of wave penetration, propagation and diffraction for the new Ostend Harbour, throughout all the design phases of the new breakwaters and the inner harbour geometry. The time-domain wave propagation models SimWave (Boussinesq) and MILDwave (mild-slope) have been employed within an integrated study of the Ostend Harbour, and have been validated/calibrated against measurements from laboratory scale models and prototype data from a measurement campaign.
