[swanmodel-users] R: Output and Tides

[Marco M. <mar...@un...>]

Hi Erlik, 
Question #1: you are overwriting results at each time step.  I sea your should store and appendix the result to the Matlab file. Read he swan user manual for more details. 
Question #2: yes. SWAN does accept both current fields (computed and generated elsewhere!!) and water levels. You can input u and v velocity componenta as well as surface elevation. See manual. 
Cheers Marco

Oggetto: [swanmodel-users] Output and Tides 

Hello, everyone!

I'm modeling the wave climate at the northeast shore of Brazil using SWAN and I have some issues and would really appreciate your help.

# 1 - I set my non-stationary runs to print a .mat file to be read the output data on MATLAB and turns out that the following command just prints out the last timestep of the computation, and I'd like to see the evolution of the wave field along one year. and be able to set the output frequency.

BLOCK 'COMPGRID' NOHEAD 'teste_nonstat_2.mat' LAY 3 XP YP HSIGN TM02 RTP DIR TPS TDIR DEPTH

# 2 - I'm working on a region that shows semidiurnal tidal cycles with amplitudes up to 7 meters, and it affects the wave-bottom interaction near shore. If I ignore this trait, my wave modeling will turn out completely wrong. Is there any way I can feed the model with level variation to represent tides accurately?

Let me know if I didn't make something clear. I'm willing to provide any information you guys need to help with my problem.
Thanks in advance.

Erlik

ps: Find enclosed my input file for a nested nonstationary run and an image of my domain.
