Project Overview

SNL-SWAN is a modification of the open source SWAN (Simulating WAves Nearshore) code developed by TU Delft. Development and application of the SNL-SWAN code is led by Sandia National Laboratories with the support of many external collaborators. The SNL-SWAN code includes the addition of a WEC Module which improves how SWAN accounts for power performance of Wave Energy Converters (WECs) and their affect on the wave field.
