open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

Hello all,

Can someone explain me, please, what is exactly the prescribed elevation in .cas file?

Because I am encountered trouble to run a model of the Menai strait. Actually the south boundary of my model seems to not working properly like if any water was coming in my model...

cheers

Hello

Prescribed elevation is the level (bathymetry+water depth) you want Telemac to prescribe in your model.

If in your model, things are going wrong, verify the order of your boundaries. This order is given in the top of the listing whe the run starts.
if the boundary has number 2, for instance, you have to write :

PRESCRIBED ELEVATION=0.;85;0.

in ths case, Telemac will prescribe an elevation of 85m on boundary number 2.

I hope that this helps

with my best regards

Hello,

So in my example i have two boundaries:

PRESCRIBED ELEVATION = 2.;0

Is it why it looks like the south boundary does not work?

regards

Jonathan

Hello,

As a complement of what Riadh has said, you can see on the listing output(when you start running the simulation), which boundary correspond to either the number 1 or the number 2. Sometimes the boundary you think is the number 1 is not, and so with the other boundary.

In your example, having said there are two boundaries, indeed you have to set two values as Riadh and you said, although you have to make sure your south boundary is indeed the boundary number 1 (if you have a north boundary probably that one would be the number one), so check it out.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
José Andrés.
