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 datasets

• 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)
