Numerical Study of Wave Hindcasting and Propagation at Tombak site in Central Part of Northern Persian Gulf Coastline

Accurate prediction of wave specifications is essential for design of nearshore and offshore structures and coastal engineering projects. This paper presents the numerical study of wave hindcasting and propagation at Tombak area in central part of Northern Persian Gulf coastline in Bushehr province. In this regard, firstly the offshore waves are hindcasted using the wind climate of the area. Then, the wave propagation from offshore to near shore is numerically modeled by using MIKE-NSW software. The results are compared with the available data in the area in order to validate the results. The results of the wave model after validation are presented in terms of horizontal distribution, statistical parameters and wave transformation coefficients from offshore to near shore.
