62 Chapter 4 | BSBT PROP < | Sec | | GSE [waveage] < MIn > | | HR | | | DAy | Command to choose: • the BSBT scheme (stationary and nonstationary) instead of the default S&L scheme (in case of nonstationary cases) or the default SORDUP scheme (in case of stationary cases) or • the wave age (for the default nonstationary S&L scheme). BSBT GSE [waveage] the BSBT scheme will be used in the computations. garden-sprinkler-effect is to be counteracted in the S&L propagation scheme (default for nonstationary computations) by adding a diffusion term to the basic equation. This may affect the numerical stability of SWAN (see Scientific/ Technical documentation). the time interval used to determine the diffusion which counteracts the so-called garden-sprinkler effect. The default value of [waveage] is zero, i.e. no added diffusion. The value of [waveage] should correspond to the travel time of the waves over the computational region. Notes: • All schemes (BSBT, SORDUP and S&L) can be used in combination with curvilinear grids. With the higher order schemes (S&L and SORDUP) it is important to use a gradually varying grid, otherwise there may be a severe loss of accuracy. If sharp transitions in the grid cannot be avoided it is safer to use the BSBT scheme. • In the computation with unstructured meshes, a first order upwind scheme will be employed. This scheme is very robust but rather diffusive. This may only be significant for the case when swell waves propagate over relative large distances (in the order of thousands of kilometers) within the model domain. | -> ACCUR [drel] [dhoval] [dtoval] [npnts] NUMeric ( < | STOPC [dabs] [drel] [curvat] [npnts] & | -> STAT [mxitst] [alfa] |

SWAN stops the iterations if: a) the change in the local significant wave height (H s ) from one iteration to the next is less than 1) fraction [drel] of that height or 2) fraction [dhoval] of the average significant wave height (average over all wet grid points) and b) the change in the local mean wave period (T m01 ) from one iteration to the next is less than 1) fraction [drel] of that period or 2) fraction [dtoval] of the average mean wave period (average over all wet grid points) and c) conditions a) and b) are fulfilled in more than fraction [npnts]% of all wet grid points. DEFAULT IN CASE OF STRUCTURED GRIDS. With this alternative option the user can influence the criterion for terminating the iterative procedure in the SWAN computations (both stationary and nonstationary). The criterion make use of the second derivative, or curvature, of the iteration curve of both the significant wave height and the mean period. As the solution of a simulation approaches full convergence, the curvature of the iteration curve will tend to zero. SWAN stops the process if the absolute change in both H s and T m01 from one iteration to the next is less than [dabs] or the relative change in H s and T m01 from one iteration to the next is less than [drel] and the curvature of the iteration curve of H s normalized with H s and that of T m01 normalized with T m01 is less than [curvat]. DEFAULT IN CASE OF UNSTRUCTURED GRIDS. Default: [dabs] = 0.00 [−] in case of structured grids; [dabs] = 0.005 [−] in case of unstructured grids.
