than the recommended values (e.g. obtained using the Java Script MIKE 21
BW Model Planner included in the Online Help), which are minimum 7 grid
points per wave length and about 35 time steps per minimum wave period.
The coarser numerical resolution is chosen in order to reduce the overall
computational time and would affect the simulated wave disturbance coeffi-
cient marginally.
The length of the simulation is 25 minutes (corresponding to 7501 time
steps).
Model results
The model results are presented in Figure 4.12 showing a contour plot of the
instantaneous surface elevation and a map showing the isolines of the simu-
lated wave disturbance coefficients (after 25 minutes). Figure 4.13 shows
time series of the simulated surface elevation inside and outside the harbour.
