Numerical wave modeling - The most used descriptor of the wave field is the energy density spectrum in both frequency and direction, where is the frequency, and the direction of propagation. This representation is particularly useful because we already know how to interpret what we know about wave physics in terms of the spectral components,.Each component can be regarded as a sinusoidal wave of which we have a reasonably well-understood theory. From this spectrum, we can deduce most of the parameters expected of an operational wave model namely, the significant wave height, the frequency spectrum, the peak frequency and secondary frequency maxima, the directional spectrum, the primary wave direction, any secondary wave directions, the zero-crossing period, etc. Joint Regional Conference on Disaster Relief and Management – International Cooperation & Role of ICT Held at Alexandria, Egypt during the period from 14 to 17 April 2007 Joint Regional Conference on Disaster Relief and Management – International Cooperation & Role of ICT Held at Alexandria, Egypt during the period from 14 to 17 April 2007
