56 Chapter 4 [cfw] MADSEN [kn] Collins bottom friction coefficient. Default: [cfw] = 0.015. Note that [cfw] is allowed to vary over the computational region; in that case use the commands INPGRID FRICTION and READINP FRICTION to define and read the friction data. The command FRICTION is still required to define the type of friction expression. The value of [cfw] in this command is then not required (it will be ignored). indicates that the expression of Madsen et al. (1988) should be activated. equivalent roughness length scale of the bottom (in m). Default: [kn] = 0.05. Note that [kn] is allowed to vary over the computational region; in that case use the commands INPGRID FRICTION and READINP FRICTION to define and read the friction data. This command FRICTION is still required to define the type of friction expression. The value of [kn] in this command is then not required (it will be ignored). TRIad [trfac] [cutfr] [urcrit] [urslim] With this command the user can activate the triad wave-wave interactions using the LTA method in the SWAN model. If this command is not used, SWAN will not account for triads. [trfac] the value of the proportionality coefficient α EB . Default: [trfac] = 0.05. [cutfr] controls the maximum frequency that is considered in the triad computations. The value of [cutfr] is the ratio of this maximum frequency over the mean frequency. Default: [cutfr] = 2.5. [urcrit] the critical Ursell number appearing in the expression for the biphase. Default: [urcrit] = 0.2. [urslim] the lower threshold for Ursell number; if the actual Ursell number is below [urslim] triad interactions will not be computed. Default: [urslim] = 0.01. LIMiter [ursell] [qb] With this command the user can de-activate permanently the quadruplets when the actual Ursell number exceeds [ursell]. Moreover, as soon as the actual fraction of breaking waves exceeds [qb] then the limiter will not be used in case of decreasing action density.
Description of commands 57 [ursell] [qb] the upper threshold for Ursell number. Default: [ursell] = 10.0. the threshold for fraction of breaking waves. Default: [qb] = 1.0. | TRANSm [trcoef] | OBSTacle < | | | -> GODA [hgt] [alpha] [beta] > & | DAM < | | DANGremond [hgt] [slope] [Bk] | | -> RSPEC | (REFL [reflc] < > ) LINe | RDIFF [pown] | CANNOT BE USED IN 1D-MODE. With this optional command the user provides the characteristics of a (line of) sub-grid obstacle(s) through which waves are transmitted or against which waves are reflected (possibly both at the same time). The obstacle is sub-grid in the sense that it is narrow compared to the spatial meshes; its length should be at least one mesh length. The location of the obstacle is defined by a sequence of corner points of a line. The obstacles interrupt the propagation of the waves from one grid point to the next wherever this obstacle line is located between two neighbouring grid points (of the computational grid; the resolution of the obstacle is therefore equal to the computational grid spacing). This implies that an obstacle to be effective must be located such that it crosses at least one grid line. This is always the case when an obstacle is larger than one mesh length. 1. If a straight line is defined with more than two points, then the sum of the reflection of the parts may differ from the situation when you define it with just two points. This is due to the way obstacles are handled numerically in SWAN. It defines from computational grid point to its neighbor whether there is a crossing with an obstacle. In defining which directions of the wave spectrum should be reflected, i.e which directions are pointed towards the obstacle, it uses the obstacle coordinates as defined by the user to define the angle of inclusion. This angle will be smaller if more points are defined, and so the reflected energy will be less for the computational grid point. This problem becomes smaller if the computational grid points are closer to the obstacle. So the advise is to define obstacles with the least amount of points possible.
