SMS:BOUSS-2D Files

Input Files

• Required files
  • Parameter File (projname.par)
  • Bathymetry File (projname_bathy.grd)

• Optional files
  • Damping File (projname_damping.grd)
  • Current File (projname_current.grd)
  • Porosity File (projname_porosity.grd) (Still under development - be advised to use with caution)
  • Variable Roughness File (projname_friction.grd) (Still under development - be advised to use with caution)

Output Files

• Spatial files - values at every active computation point, These can be saved in 5 separate native BOUSS-2D formatted files (three ASCII and two binary) or in a single binary XMDF file (projname.h5 - this is an HDF5 file). The native format files include:
  • Transient data sets
    • Water Surface File (projname.eta) (This also includes breaking index at each cell.)
    • Current File (projname.uv)
  • Mean values
    • Significant Wave Height File (projname_hs.grd)
    • Mean Current File (projname_mean_uv.grd)
    • Mean Water Level File (projname_mwl.grd)

• Locational files - These files contain information for specifaclly selected cells (probes)
  • Water Level at Probes File (projname_ts_eta.ts1)
  • U Component of current at Probes File (projname_ts_u.ts1)
  • V Component of current at Probes File (projname_ts_v.ts1)
  • Pressure at Probes File (projname_ts_p.ts1)
