Abstract

This paper presents a new module in the TELEMAC finite element modelling system: COWADIS. This software is a simplified spectral 'phase averaged' wave model dealing with wave propagation in coastal areas. After a description of some theoretical and numerical aspects, several validation test cases and industrial applications are presented. Compared to so called 'third generation' spectral models, COWADIS reveals itself much less expensive in terms of computer memory and CPU time whereas it gives similar reliable results for much practical steady state engineering applications.
