The spectral frequencies (and directions in the case of a 2D spectrum) do not have to coincide with the frequencies and directions used in the present SWAN run (in a nested run SWAN will interpolate to these frequencies and directions). The coordinates of locations in the 1D and 2D files are ignored when SWAN reads this file (SWAN uses the geographical information in this BOUNDSPEC command instead). name of the file containing the boundary condition. sequence number of geographic location in the file (see Appendix D); useful for files which contain spectra for more than one location. Default: [seq] = 1 (i.e. first location). Note: a TPAR file always contains only one location so in this case [seq] must always be 1. | -> CLOSed | BOUNdnest1 NEST ’fname’ < > | OPEN | With this optional command a nested SWAN run can be carried out with the boundary conditions obtained from a coarse grid SWAN run (generated in that previous SWAN run with command NESTOUT not to be confused with option NEST in this command BOUNDNEST1). For this nested SWAN run the user has to give the CGRID command to define the computational grid before this BOUNDNEST1 command. The computational grid for SWAN in geographic space is the area bounded by the SWAN coarse run nest (SWAN boundary
Description of commands 47 points of the nest). This implies that the boundaries of the SWAN coarse run nest and the boundaries of the SWAN nested computational area should be (nearly) identical (see below). The spectral frequencies and directions of the coarse grid run do not have to coincide with the frequencies and directions used in the nested SWAN run (as defined in the CGRID command); SWAN will interpolate to these frequencies and directions in the nested run (see Section 2.6.3). To generate the nest boundary in the coarse grid run, use command NGRID. For the nested run, use the command CGRID with identical geographical information except the number of meshes (which will be much higher for the nested run). This BOUNDNEST command is not available for 1D computations; in such cases the commands SPECOUT and BOUNDSPEC can be used for the same purpose. A nested SWAN run must use the same coordinate system as the coarse grid SWAN run. For a curvi-linear grid, it is advised to use the commands POINTS or CURVE and SPECOUT instead of NGRID and NESTOUT. NEST ’fname’ CLOSED OPEN with this option the user indicates that the boundary conditions (all four sides of the computational grid) are to be retrieved from a file created by a previous SWAN run (the present SWAN run is a nested run). The spectral frequencies (and directions in the case of a 2D spectrum) of the previous run do not have to coincide with the frequencies and directions used in the present SWAN run (see command CGRID); SWAN will interpolate the energy densities to these frequencies and directions (see Section 2.6.3). name of the file containing the boundary conditions for the present run, created by the previous SWAN coarse grid run. This file is structured according to the rules given in Appendix D for 2D spectra. the boundary represented in the file is a closed rectangle; this is always the case if the NESTOUT command was used to generate the boundary condition file. the boundary represented in the file is not a closed rectangle.
