Installation

To use the SWAN model with Rompy, install the dedicated plugin:

pip install rompy-swan

Overview

SWAN (Simulating WAves Nearshore) is a third-generation wind-wave model that computes random, short-crested waves in coastal regions and inland waters. With Rompy, you can configure SWAN simulations using Python objects that are validated with Pydantic, ensuring consistent and reproducible model setups.
