BOUSS-2D Probe Manager dialog

BOUSS-2D can output the histories of the computed water-surface elevation, velocities, force, and pressure at every grid point and at every time-step. However, due to the number of data points in the domain, this is usually done at intervals of 15-30 min.

In order to provide a more complete temporal representation of the results of the calculation, the model allows the user to specify probes. At a probe location (x,y,z) the user can specify what data should be saved and at what temporal resolutions. The options include water surface, velocity, force, and pressure.

BOUSS-2D Probe Manager

The probe manager allows creating, editing, and deleting probes. This dialog is only accessible when a BOUSS-2D grid exists. The properties associated with probes as follows:

  • Color – clicking on this button will bring up Color dialog. Altenatively, a simple color picker can be accessed by clicking on the arrow to the right.
  • Name – a default name will be entered in this field, but by selecting the field any name can be typed in.
  • x and y coordinates – these fields are only available when the (X,Y) Coordinate option is toggled on under the Assign position by: section. When active, specific coordinates may be entered which will move the probe on the grid.
  • i
  • j
  • WSE
  • Pressure
  • Velocity
  • Force
