1DH Boussinesq wave module
Applications related to the 1DH module include:

computation of wave transformation for nonlinear waves from deep
water, through the surf zone and all the way up to the beach.

analysis of generation and release of low-frequency waves.

assessment of wave breaking, undertow and run-up on dikes, revet-
ments and beaches.
The 1DH module can be applied for a number of transects (one spatial
dimension) where surf zone dynamics and swash zone dynamics are simu-
lated in real-time.
