Numerical simulation of wind waves in the bays of south-west part of the Crimea Peninsula is carried out with high space resolution. Particular attention is paid to the local characteristics of wind waves in the Sevastopol Bay. The parallel version of wind wave spectral model SWAN is implemented. The steady state waves caused by wind of different directions are considered. It is obtained that t...
