With this required command the user controls the reading of values of the indicated variables<br />

from file. This command READINP must follow a command INPGRID. Note that for<br />

each stationary or nonstationary field, one combination of INPGRID and READINP suffices<br />

if one has more than one COMPUTE command in a run.<br />

If the variables are in one file, then the READINP commands should be given in the same<br />

sequence as the sequence in which the variables appear in the file.<br />

FRICTION<br />

WIND<br />

with this option the user indicates that bottom levels (m) are to be read from<br />

file (bottom level positive downward relative to an arbitrary horizontal datum<br />

level). The sign of the input can be changed with option [fac] = −1. (see below).<br />

with this option the user indicates that water levels (m) are to be read from<br />

file (water level positive upward relative to the same datum level as used in<br />

option BOTTOM). Sign of input can be changed with option [fac] = −1. If the<br />

water level is constant in space and time, the user can use the command SET<br />

to add this water level to the water depth.<br />

recti-linear (curvi-linear) input grid: with this option the user indicates that<br />

the x− and y−component (ξ− and η−component) are to be read from one and<br />

the same file (with one READINP command). With this option <strong>SWAN</strong> reads first all<br />

x−components (ξ−components), and then all y−components (η−components)<br />

(see below). The firs component (x− or ξ−component) is always eastward oriented<br />

and the second one (y− or η−component) is always northwise oriented. The<br />

components ξ and η are taken along the directions of the grid lines<br />

of the curvi-linear grid! If the current velocity is relatively large, i.e.<br />

the Froude number U/ √ gd is larger than 0.8, it will be reduced such that<br />

the Froude number becomes equal to 0.8.<br />

with this option the user indicates that friction coefficient is to be read from<br />

file for Collins: [cfw] and for Madsen: [kn] (no space- or time-variable<br />

coefficient for the Jonswap expression, see command FRICTION). If the<br />

coefficients are constant in space and time: see command FRICTION.<br />
