Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Several human activities in the coastal zone depend on the wave climate as well. Evidently, to produce “green” electricity from the hydraulic energy in the sea waves can only be a success if the wave climate is known (to estimate possible profits). Likewise for sporters that want to surf the waves. Waves can also be a nuisance for human activities such as shipping and handling goods in coastal harbours, for contractors carrying out coastal engineering works or workability off-shore. To determine the wave climate in a coastal zone it is recommended to combine in situ measurements and wave modelling. Indeed, on the one hand to cover an area is only possible with a wave model, and on the other hand in situ measurements are needed to validate and drive a wave model. This paper presents a way to determine a wave climate, for the case of the Belgian coastal zone. The in situ measurements consist of long time series (more than 10 years) of waves and wind at different locations distributed along the Belgian coastline and in the Belgian coastal waters. The wave modelling is carried out with the state of the art, free software SWAN (Simulating WAves Nearshore). |
