Description of commands 69<br />

(see below).<br />

The locations are determined by <strong>SWAN</strong> as the intersections of the depth contour line(s)<br />

and the set of straight rays defined in this command RAY. These rays are characterized by a<br />

set of master rays defined by their start and end positions ([xp],[yp]) and ([xq],[yq]).<br />

Between each pair of sequential master rays thus defined <strong>SWAN</strong> generates [int]−1 intermediate<br />

rays by linear interpolation of the start and end positions.<br />

Note that the rays thus defined have nothing in common with wave rays (e.g. as obtained<br />

from conventional refraction computations).<br />

’rname’ name of the set of rays defined by this command.<br />

[xp1],[yp1],problem coordinates of the begin and end points of the first master ray<br />

[xq1],[yq1] if Cartesian coordinates are used in m<br />

if spherical coordinates are used in degrees (see command COORD)<br />

[int] number of subdivisions between the previous master ray and the<br />

following master ray defined by the following data (number of<br />

subdivisions is one more than the number of interpolated rays)<br />

[xp],[yp], problem coordinates of the begin and end points of each subsequent master ray<br />

[xq],[yq] if Cartesian coordinates are used in m<br />

if spherical coordinates are used in degrees (see command COORD)<br />

CANNOT BE USED IN 1D-MODE.<br />

With this optional command the user defines a set of output locations along one depth or<br />

bottom level contour line (in combination with command RAY).<br />

’sname’<br />

’rname’<br />

[dep]<br />

name of the set of output locations defined by this command<br />

name of the set of rays (as defined in command RAY)<br />

the depth (in m) of the depth contour line along which output locations are<br />

generated by <strong>SWAN</strong>. If the keyword DEPTH appears in front of the value the<br />

true depth is used, if the keyword BOTTOM appears the water level is ignored,<br />

i.e. the depth with respect to datum level is used.<br />

The set of output locations along the depth contour lines created with this command is of<br />

the type CURVE.
