Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

SwanOne and Swan

Link to SwanOne, a simple Graphical User Interface for Swan; SwanOne assumes parallel depth contours, but calculates everything else in full two dimensions. SwanOne requires only a simple depth profile as input, and provides the design values H2% and Tm-1,0.

SwanOne is written in Matlab, and can be used within the Matlab environment, but also as stand-alone application.

Overtopping Manual

All information regarding run-up and overtopping can be found in the overtopping manual. You find a pdf of this manual on www.overtopping-manual.com. On this site you also find software to compute run-up and overtopping. There are on-line versions, there is a version with PC-overtop and there is a version with a Neural network
