OPTIONS CURVILINEAR AND UNSTRUCTURED NOT FOR 1D-MODE.<br />

With this required command the user defines the geographic location, size and orientation<br />

of an input grid and also the time characteristics of the variable if it is not stationary.<br />

If this is the case (the variable is not stationary), the variable should be given<br />

in a sequence of fields, one for each time step [deltinp]. The actual reading of values<br />

of bottom levels, currents, etc. from file is controlled by the command READINP.<br />

This command INPGRID must precede the following command READINP.<br />

There can be different grids for bottom level (BOTTOM), flow current (CURRENT), bottom<br />

friction coefficient (FRICTION) and wind velocity (WIND). If the current velocity components<br />

are available on different grids, then option VX, VY can define these different grids for<br />

the x− and y−component of the current, respectively (but the grids must have identical<br />

orientation). Different grids for VX and VY may be useful if the data are generated by a<br />

circulation model using a staggered grid. The same holds for the wind velocity components.<br />

If the command INPGRID is given without any of the keywords BOTTOM, WIND, etc.<br />

it is assumed that all the input grids are the same.<br />

In the case of a regular grid (option REGULAR in the INPGRID command) the current and<br />

wind vectors are defined with the x− and y−component of the current or wind vector with<br />

respect to the x−axis of the input grid. In case of a curvi-linear grid (option CURVILINEAR<br />

in the INPGRID command) the current and wind vectors are defined with the x− and<br />

y−component of the current or wind vector with respect to the x−axis of the problem<br />

coordinate system. For wind velocity and friction coefficient it is also possible to use a<br />

constant value over the computational field (see commands WIND and FRICTION). No grid<br />

definition for wind and friction is then required.<br />

Note that in case of option BOTTOM only stationary input field is allowed.<br />

If the computational grid is unstructured (generated by Triangle or Easymesh), the input
