SMS:STWAVE Model Control
From XMS Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
The Model Control… command in the STWAVE Menu opens the STWAVE Model Control Dialog. This dialog is divided into sections for different types of parameters which are used by the model as it runs. These include:
Grid Definition
The grid definition section of the model control reports defining characteristics of the grid including:
- Cell size
- Number of rows and columns
- X, Y origin
- Angle of rotation
Settings
- Set Boundary Conditions – Opens the STWAVE Boundary Conditions dialog used to specify the STWAVE Boundary Conditions.
- Output Control – Opens the STWAVE Output Control dialog.
- Full Plane – Consult the STWAVE model documentation for more information.
- Half Plane – Consult the STWAVE model documentation for more information.
- Source Terms – Specifies whether STWAVE should generate waves using wind and the input spectrum or whether we are using the wave spectrum.
- Current Interaction – Specifies whether currents will be used as input to the model.
- Bottom Friction – Specifies which friction type is to be used, if any.
- Surge Fields – Specifies whether surge fields are being used, or a constant tidal offset.
- Wind Fields – Specifies whether wind fields (spatially varied wind) are being used, or a constant wind magnitude and direction.
- Use Time Steps – STWAVE can output solutions as cases or time steps. In order to output as time steps, the "Use Time Steps" toggle must be checked. If using time steps the output units and a reference time (optional) can be specified.
- Number of Iterations – Number of iterations to run. (Full Plane Only).
- Select buttons – The select buttons by next to the current, bottom friction, surge, and wind options are used to specify a data set on the grid to use as the desired data set. These buttons open up the Select Data set dialog. These data sets must be created prior to entering the model control dialog.
