CMS-Wave is a component of the Coastal Modeling System developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory. CMS-Wave is a two-dimensional wave spectral transformation model that employs a forward-marching, finite-difference method to solve the wave action conservation equation. It is a phase-averaged model, which neglects changes in the wave phase in calculating wave and other nearshore processes from the output wave information. CMS-Wave contains theoretically developed approximations for both wave diffraction and reflection and, therefore, is suitable for conducting wave simulations at coastal inlets. The model operates on a coastal half-plane so primary waves can propagate only from the seaward boundary toward shore. If the seaward reflection option is activated, the model will also perform backward marching for seaward reflection after the forwarding-marching calculation is completed.Talk to Sales
