CMS-Flow creates a number of files during the model run.
Hot Start File
In the CMS-Flow Model Control, it is possible to specify a previously saved hot start file to be used as initial conditions or instruct CMS-Flow to save hot start files for future use.
To create a hot start file, either select Write Hot Start output file and select an output time, or select Automatic recurring Hot Start file and choose an output interval.
- Choosing to write the hot start file at a specific output time will create the following file:
- hot_start.h5 This file has the simulation data including elevations and velocities.
- Choosing automatic recurring hot start files will create the following files:
- HOTSTART.INFO This file records what time the hot start file was written and which hot start file is the most recent.
- HOTSTARTx.H5 (where "x" is a counter) These files have the simulation data including elevations and velocities.
Once the hot start files are created, they can be read into CMS-Flow. Open the CMS-Flow Model Control and check the Initial conditions file check box, then select the hot start file to be used.
When using a hot start file, the following parameters should be changed as follows:
- Start Date: no change
- Start Time: no change
- Simulation Duration: decrease by the duration of the hot start file
- Boundary Conditions: no change
Note: For a simulation using a hot start file, the first time step of the solution will be the start time plus the value of one time step plus the duration of the hot start file.
Save Point File
Storing Save Points in the *.cmcards File
When saving the SMS project, the save points get stored in the *.cmcards file. An example looks like this:
Save Points
HYDRO_OUTPUT_INTERVAL 5.0 MINUTES SEDIMENT_OUTPUT_INTERVAL 5.0 MINUTES SALINITY_OUTPUT_INTERVAL 5.0 MINUTES WAVE_OUTPUT_INTERVAL 5.0 MINUTES
The SAVE_POINT is formatted [name][x location][y location][hydro (if on)][sediment (if on)][salinity(if on)][wave(if on)]
SAVE_POINT "6, 61" -2867.5 2022.0 HYDRO SEDIMENT WAVE SAVE_POINT "20, 59" -2517.5 1966.0 HYDRO SAVE_POINT "10, 31" -2767.5 1182.0 SEDIMENT SAVE_POINT "11, 31" -2742.5 1182.0 SEDIMENT SAVE_POINT "10, 32" -2767.5 1210.0 SALINITY SAVE_POINT "11, 32" -2742.5 1210.0 WAVE
*.sp/*.spx File for Reading in Save Point Information
Simulation output data gets stored in *sp and *.spx file. The *.sp file is and individual output file. The 8.spx file simply identifies all of the *.sp files that should be loaded for a simulation. An *.sp file looks something like this:
SAVE_POINT_OUTPUT eta REFERENCE_TIME 2001/01/01 00:00 -0000 GMT CREATION_DATE 2012/05/28 09:02 -0600 GMT CMS_VERSION 4.00.11 TIME_UNITS HOURS OUTPUT_UNITS 'm' NUMBER_POINTS 2 NAME_BEGIN '6, 61' '20, 59' NAME_END XY_BEGIN -2867.5000 2022.0000 -2517.5000 1966.0000 XY_END SCALAR_TS_BEGIN 0.0000 0.0000E+00 0.0000E+00 0.0333 1.7545E-09 1.7434E-09 0.0667 1.4042E-08 1.3971E-08 0.1000 4.6679E-08 4.6524E-08 0.1333 1.1143E-07 1.1117E-07
Sms will read in a *.sp file and create a CMS-Flow save point coverage with the points.
Projection Cards
CMS-Flow uses a local coordinate system in which all vector values are positive along the I and J axis. All output vector arrays are specified in the local coordinate system. Any input that is specified on the local grid must be specified in the local coordinate system (e.g. initial condition for currents, interpolated wave forcing, etc). If input vector arrays are specified on a different grid then the vectors are assumed to follow the coordinate system of their native grid. The grid is always created in SMS with the origin is by default always at the lower left hand corner of the grid.
Below are two examples of CMS Flow Projection Cards:
HORIZONTAL_PROJECTION_BEGIN !Optional DATUM NAD83 !NAD27|NAD83|LOCAL SYSTEM UTM !UTM|STATE_PLANE|GEOGRAPHIC|LOCAL UNITS METERS !METERS|FEET|DEGREES ZONE 15 !Only if necessary HORIZONTAL_PROJECTION_END
VERTICAL_PROJECTION_BEGIN DATUM LOCAL !NGVD29|NAVD88|LOCAL UNITS METERS !METERS|FEET OFFSET 2.0 m !Positive is upwards VERTICAL_PROJECTION_END
Output Files
Output files specified here are associated with observation cells that have been assigned within the grid. For example, if a time series observation cell exists, an output file will be written out by M2D for every file type that is checked within this dialog. The same holds true for flow rate observation cells. All observation cell output files are given the file extension of “.m2o”. A prefix is specified for all time series and flow rate output files. Also specify the time step increment (in seconds) at which to write to the output files. This increment should be a multiple of the simulation time step.
A brief explanation of the information that each of the following observation cell output file types contains is given (* = prefix):
Time Series Output Files:
- U Output (*_u.m2o): Velocity in the x-direction
- V Output (*_v.m2o): Velocity in the y-direction
- ETA Output (*_h.m2o): Water level
- U DETA/DX (u /x) (*_udhdx.m2o):
- V DETA/DY (v /y) (*_vdhdy.m2o):
- ETA DU/DX (u/x) (*_hdudx.m2o):
- ETA DV/DY (v/y) (*_hdvdy.m2o):
- X-Momentum Advection U DU/DX (u u/x) (*_xmomu.m2o): U component of the momentum advection term in the x-direction
- Y-Momentum Advection U DV/DX (u v/x) (*_ymomu.m2o): U component of the momentum advection term in the y-direction
- X-Momentum Advection V DU/DY (v u/y) (*_xmomv.m2o): V component of the momentum advection term in the x-direction
- Y-Momentum Advection V DV/DY (v v/y) (*_ymomv.m2o): V component of the momentum advection term in the y-direction
- X Bottom Friction (*_xbfric.m2o): X component of the bottom friction
- Y Bottom Friction (*_ybfric.m2o): Y component of the bottom friction
- X Wind Stress (*_xwnd.m2o): X component of the wind stress
- Y Wind Stress (*_ywnd.m2o): Y component of the wind stress
Flow Rate Output Files:
- X Direction (*_qx.m2o): Flow rate in the x-direction
- Y Direction (*_qy.m2o): Flow rate in the y-direction
