Description of commands 35<br />

grids can be either regular or identical to the used computational grid.<br />

Do not use the commandINP BOTTOM when the unstructured grid of ADCIRC is employed!<br />

The file fort.14 contains the bottom levels and will be read by <strong>SWAN</strong> through the command<br />

READ UNSTRUC ADCIRC.<br />

If land points remain dry during the computation (no flooding!), then these points can be<br />

ignored. In this way, turn-around time and internal memory can be saved. This can be<br />

done by indicating bottom level in these points as exception value. See command INPGRID<br />

BOTTOM EXCEPTION.<br />

For parallel runs using MPI, an exception value for bottom levels should be prescribed in<br />

order to have a good load-balancing!<br />

See Section 2.6 for more information on grids.<br />

BOTTOM defines the input grid of the bottom level. (For the definition of the bottom<br />

level, see command READINP).<br />

WLEV water level relative to datum level, positive upward (in m).<br />

CURRENT defines the input grid of the current field (same grid for x− and y−components).<br />

VX defines the input grid of the x−component of the current field (different grid<br />

than y−component but same orientation).<br />

VY defines input grid of the y−component of the current field (different grid than<br />

x−component but same orientation).<br />

FRICTION defines input grid of the bottom friction coefficient (defined in command<br />

FRICTION, not to be confused with this option FRICTION!).<br />

WIND defines input grid of the wind field (same grid for x− and y−component).<br />

If neither of the commands WIND and READINP WIND is used it is<br />

assumed that there is no wind.<br />

WX defines input grid of the x−component of the wind field (different grid than<br />

x-component but same orientation).<br />

WY defines input grid of the y−component of the wind field (different grid than<br />

y−component but same orientation).<br />

REGULAR means that the input grid is uniform and rectangular.<br />

CURVILINEAR means that the input grid is curvi-linear; this option is available only if the<br />

computational grid is curvi-linear as well. The input grid is identical<br />

(which is default) to the computational grid, or it is staggered in x− and/or<br />

y−direction.<br />

NOT FOR 1D-MODE.<br />

UNSTRUCTURE means that the input grid is unstructured; this option is available only if the<br />

computational grid is unstructured as well. The input grid must be identical<br />

to the computational grid.<br />

NOT FOR 1D-MODE.
