Abstract
Engineers involved in harbor engineering projects are confronted with a bewildering array of numerical models that can be used for simulating waves in harbors. As new models become available, the engineer is left wondering whether or not s/he should adopt them in favor of ones that are already used, and frequently has little by way of guidance on this question. This paper recommends a set of detailed benchmark tests (covering a wide range of physical conditions) that can help validate newer models and also assist the engineer in either selecting or not selecting a new model.
