With this command the user indicates that <strong>SWAN</strong> should run in third-generation mode<br />

for wind input, quadruplet interactions and whitecapping. Triads, bottom friction and<br />

depth-induced breaking are not activated by this command. See the Scientific/Technical<br />

documentation for more information. The option GEN3 KOMEN is default.<br />

JANSSEN linear growth : Cavaleri and Malanotte-Rizzoli (1981), activated only<br />

if the keyword AGROW is present (see below)<br />

exponential growth: Janssen (1989, 1991).<br />

[cds1] coefficient for determining the rate of whitecapping dissipation (=C ds /˜s 4 PM).<br />

[delta]<br />

Default: [cds1] = 4.5.<br />

coefficient which determines the dependency of the whitecapping on wave number<br />

(mix with Komen et al. formulation).<br />

Default: [delta] = 0.5.<br />

KOMEN linear growth : Cavaleri and Malanotte-Rizzoli (1981), activated only<br />

if the keyword AGROW is present (see below)<br />

exponential growth: Komen et al. (1984).<br />

[cds2] coefficient for determining the rate of whitecapping dissipation (=C ds ).<br />

Default: [cds2] = 2.36e-5.<br />

[stpm] value of the wave steepness for a Pierson-Moskowitz spectrum (=˜s 2 PM).<br />

Default: [stpm] = 3.02e-3.<br />

WESTH nonlinear saturation-based whitecapping combined with wind input of Yan (1987).<br />

AGROW<br />

[a]<br />

if this keyword is used, the wave growth term of Cavaleri and Malanotte (1981) is<br />

activated.<br />

if this keyword is NOT used, the wave growth term of Cavaleri and Malanotte (1981)<br />

is NOT activated.<br />

Note that in nonstationary runs <strong>SWAN</strong> start with INIT ZERO (see command INIT),<br />

wave energy remains zero unless wave energy penetrates over the boundary or AGROW<br />

is activated. In case of stationary runs, however, <strong>SWAN</strong> will start with a first guess.<br />

if the wave growth term of Cavaleri and Malanotte (1981) is activated, [a] is<br />

the proportionality coefficient in that term.<br />

Default: [a] = 0.0015.<br />
