Description of commands 25<br />

’name’<br />

’nr’<br />

’title1’<br />

’title2’<br />

’title3’<br />

is the name of the project, at most 16 characters long.<br />

Default: blanks.<br />

is the run identification (to be provided as a character string; e.g. the run<br />

number) to distinguish this run among other runs for the same project; it is at<br />

most 4 characters long. It is the only required information in this command.<br />

is a string of at most 72 characters provided by the user to appear in the<br />

output of the program for the user’s convenience.<br />

Default: blanks.<br />

same as ’title1’.<br />

same as ’title1’.<br />

SET [level] [nor] [depmin] [maxmes] [maxerr] [grav] [rho]<br />

| NAUTical |<br />

[inrhog] [hsrerr] < > [pwtail] [froudmax] [printf] [prtest]<br />

| -> CARTesian |<br />

With this optional command the user assigns values to various general parameters.<br />

[level]<br />

[nor]<br />

[depmin]<br />

[maxmes]<br />

[maxerr]<br />

increase in water level that is constant in space and time can be given with<br />

this option, [level] is the value of this increase (in m). For a variable water<br />

level reference is made to the commands INPGRID and READINP.<br />

Default: [level]=0.<br />

direction of North with respect to the x−axis (measured counterclockwise);<br />

default [nor]= 90 o , i.e. x−axis of the problem coordinate system<br />

points East.<br />

When spherical coordinates are used (see command COORD) the value<br />

of [nor] may not be modified.<br />

threshold depth (in m). In the computation any positive depth smaller than<br />

[depmin] is made equal to [depmin].<br />

Default: [depmin] = 0.05.<br />

maximum number of error messages (not necessarily the number of errors!)<br />

during the computation at which the computation is terminated. During the<br />

computational process messages are written to the print file.<br />

Default: [maxmes] = 200.<br />

during pre-processing <strong>SWAN</strong> checks input data. Depending on the severity<br />

of the errors encountered during this pre-processing, <strong>SWAN</strong> does not start<br />

computations. The user can influence the error level above which <strong>SWAN</strong> will<br />

not start computations (at the level indicated the computations will continue).<br />

The error level [maxerr] is coded as follows:
