Rusu, L., Bernardino, M. and Guedes Soares, C. (2011) , “Modelling the influence of currents on wave propagation at the entrance of the Tagus estuary”, Ocean Engineering, Vol. 38, pp. 1174-1183

A study of the wave propagation and of the consequences of the influence of currents on waves in the Tagus estuary is performed in the present work. For this purpose a high-resolution SWAN domain was coupled to a wave prediction system based on the two state of the art phase averaged wave models, WAM for wave generation and SWAN for nearshore wave transformation. The most important factors affecting the incoming waves are the local currents and the wind. These influences were evaluated by performing SWAN simulations in the target area with and respectively without considering the tide level and tide induced currents. The model results were compared with wave measurements, validating in this way the results of the wave prediction system developed herewith.
