REGIONAL COASTAL PROCESSES WAVE TRANSFORMATION MODEL 



( R C P W A V E ) 



HOMER SPIT , ALASKA EXAMPLE 



MODEL INPUT: 



UNIFORMLY SIZED, RECTILINEAR GRID MESH 



X - DIRECTION (ON-OFFSHORE) 96 CELLS, EACH 416.70 IN LENGTH 

 Y - DIRECTION (LONGSHORE) 83 CELLS, EACH 833.30 IN LENGTH 



THE ACCELERATION OF GRAVITY IS 32.20. THESE UNITS DETERMINE THE UNITS OF ALL INPUT AND OUTPUT VARIABLES 



THE DEEP WATER WAVE PARAMETERS FOR CASE 1 ARE: HEIGHT= 8.000 PERIOD= 10.000 ANGLE= -45.000 



THE OFFSHORE CONTOURS MAKE AN ANGLE OF .00 DEGREES WITH THE Y AXIS 



THE BATHYMETRY MATRIX IS VARIABLE IN BOTH HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONS AND WAS READ FROM FILE CODE 8 



A WATER LEVEL CHANGE OF .00 WAS ADDED TO THE ENTIRE BATHYMETRY MATRIX
