Model convergence of SWAN in the Westerschelde estuary : a study on model convergence using the one-dimensional mode of SWAN

From several studies it has been found that the SWAN model converges rather slowly in computations in the complex filed case of the Westerschelde estuary. This study has been performed to get more insight in this observed SWAN model convergence behaviour. to this end a large numer of compoutations have been performed in a one-dimensional situation of fetch-limited deep water wave growth. The model convergence has been studied by changing the input commands and coefficients in each of the computations. The effect of currents on model convergence has not been investigated.
