Model Control Editing
- "Gauss-Seidel" – sets matrix solver to Gauss-Seidel solver with multi-processor capability.
- Number of threads –
- "ADI" – sets matrix solver to Alternative Direction Iterative solver.
- "Gauss-Seidel" – sets matrix solver to Gauss-Seidel solver with multi-processor capability.
Boundary Control
The Boundary control tab contains options for assigning spectral data for the model run.
- Source – determines the source coverage for the boundary control data.
- Spectral Coverage –
- None –
- Interpolation Type – sets the method for STWAVE to use when interpolating between spectra.
- "Average spectra"
- "IDW interpolation" – sets the type of data interpolation to Inverse Distance Weighting
- Spectral Grid
- Create Nesting Points – if the From parent grid source option is selected and a parent grid has been specified, clicking on this button will allow specifying which points should be used from the parent grid for creating the nesting file.
- Wind – a constant value or a vector dataset can be used to define the wind for the simulation. If constant is selected, the wind direction and magnitude will be specified in the CMS-Wave Case Definition dialog for each case.
- Define Cases
- Computational Spectral Grid –
Output control
The Output Control tab contains additional options for outputting results from the CMSWave model run.
- Limit observation output – (The cirpwiki mentions something about a fast-mode simulation relative to iprp. Is this option related to that??)
- Radiation Stresses – Turns on wave radiation stresses calculations for the simulation. (Results in a wave radiation stress file with spatially varied data (a value for each cell)???).
- Breaking type – Option to turn on (production of wave breaking data???) (wave breaking file creation???) and define data type (results in a wave breaking file with spatially varied data (a value for each cell)).
- "None" – (Wave breaking file type will not be produced???).
- "Write indices" – (Select for output of wave breaking indices???)
- "Calculate energy dissipation" – (Select for output of energy dissipation fluxes???)
Options
- Allow wetting and drying – Allows fluctuation of cells between wet and dry depending on threshold flow depth at the cell center.
- Infragravity wave effect – Sets the model to include infra-gravity wave effect.
- Diffraction instensity – Sets the diffraction intensity for the model. Use 0 for no diffraction. Use 4 for strong diffraction.
- Nonlinear wave effect – Sets the model to include computation for Non-linear wave-wave interaction.
- Run up – Sets the model to include computation for wave runup, which is the maximum shoeward wave swash on the beach face for engineering structures.
- Fast-mode run – (??for fast-mode simulation (for wave generation and propagation))
- Roller effects – (Sets wave roller intensity factor. Use "None" for no effect. Use "100%" for strong effect.???)
- Forward reflection – A constant value for the entire simulation or spatially varying data using a scalar dataset can be used to define the forward reflection for the model.
- "None" – forward reflection will not be represented in the model.
- "Constant" – forward reflection will be defined by a constant value for the entire simulation.
- "Use dataset" – forward reflection will be defined by a scalar dataset with spatially varying data for the simulation. Select appears next to it. This button brings up a data tee that allows for selecting the desired dataset.
- Backward reflection – A constant value for the entire simulation or spatially varying data using a scalar dataset can be used to define the backward reflection for the model.
- "None" – backward reflection will not be represented in the model.
- "Constant" – backward reflection will be defined by a constant value for the entire simulation.
- "Use dataset" – backward reflection will be defined by a scalar dataset with spatially varying data for the simulation. Select appears next to it. This button brings up a data tee that allows for selecting the desired dataset.
- Muddy bed – If desired, spatially varying data using a scalar dataset can be used to calculate wave dissipation over muddy bed for the model.
- "None" – turns off calculating for wave dissipation over a muddy bed.
- "Use dataset" – define the scalar dataset to be used to calculate wave dissipation over muddy bed for the model. Select appears next to it. This button brings up a data tee that allows for selecting the desired dataset.
- Wave breaking formula – sets the formula for depth-limited energy dissipation for the simulation.
- "Extended Goda" – Set wave breaking formula to "Extended Goda".
- "Extended Miche" – Set wave breaking formula to "Extended Miche".
- "Battjes and Jannsen 1978" – Set wave breaking formula to "Battjes and Jannsen 1978". For this formula, Gamma value definition is required.
- "Chawla and Kirby" – Set wave breaking formula to "Chawla and Kirby".
- "Battjes and Jannsen 2007" – Set wave breaking formula to "Battjes and Jannsen 2007".
- "Miche Original" – Set wave breaking formula to "Miche Original".
- "Lifting breaking" – Set wave breaking formula to "Lifting breaking".
- Date format – Select the kind of date format preferred for (output data???).
- "8 digits" – Set date format to 8 digit format.
- "12 digits" – Set date format to 12 digit format.
