* Breaking – This will output a dataset representing the wave breaking. For full-plane, this can be no indices (off) or write indices which gives a value of 1 where breaking occurs and 0.0 otherwise. Half-plane has the full-plane options and has an additional option to calculate energy dissipation. This will give a dataset of energy dissipation.

The STWAVE Output Control Dialog is used to specify the solutions files STWAVE should output.

The following datasets are always written:

  • Height
  • Period
  • Direction
  • Wave Vector(magnitude of height with wave direction)
  • 1/fma – Period that represents the inverse of the spectral peak frequency redefined for local wind growth cases

The options the user can set include:

  • Radiation stresses – If this is on, radiation stresses will be calculated and output into datasets
  • Breaking – This will output a dataset representing the wave breaking. For full-plane, this can be no indices (off) or write indices which gives a value of 1 where breaking occurs and 0.0 otherwise. Half-plane has the full-plane options and has an additional option to calculate energy dissipation. This will give a dataset of energy dissipation.
  • Output type – SMS supports the ability to write ASCII files, XMDF files or both. ASCII files refer to STWAVE version 6 global dataset files and XMDF files are datasets written using the XMDF library built upon HDF5. XMDF is the recommended file format because they are much faster to read/write. XMDF is only available on windows platforms.
