User:Jcreer/SMS:BOUSS-2D Wave Generator

Both the BOUSS-2D model and the BOUSS-2D Runup/Overtopping model use the BOUSS-2D Wave Generator Properties dialog. The dialog as accessed by right-clicking on a node or arc in a "Wave Maker" coverage type. Use the right-click menu command, Attributes, to bring up the BOUSS-2D Wave Generator Properties dialog.

The BOUSS-2D Wave Generator Properties dialog.

Wave Simulation Parameters

• Type – options include "Regular", "Irregular Unidirectional", and "Irregular Multidimensional". Selecting "Irregular Multidimensional" will activate the Spread option, Standard dev., and Maximum cutoff fields under Directional Parameters.
• Surface Elev. Time Series – can be "Synthesize" or "From File".
• Spectrum source – can be "From Parameters" or "From File".
• Random number seed –
• Series Duration –

Directional Parameters

• Projection –
• Spread option – options include "Wrapped Normal Distributions" and Cosine Power Function". This field is only active when the Wave Simulation Type is set for "Irregular Multidirectional".
• Standard dev. – active when the Wave Simulation Type is set for "Irregular Multidirectional".
• Maximum cutoff – active when the Wave Simulation Type is set for "Irregular Multidirectional".
• Wave angle –

Spectral Parameters

• Type –
• Option –
• Use default storm duration –
• Add – create an additional wave column in the spreadsheet.
• Delete – remove a selected wave column from the spreadsheet.
