open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

Hello everybody,

I am new to telemac and I am trying to continue a simulation in Telemac 2d v8p0r2. In the previous computation file I have the values for Velocity, Free Surface, Water Depth, Wind velocity and 2 tracers: SALINITY

---

with units: KG/M3

---

and SUSTANCIA

---

with units: mg/L

---

.

In the steering file I have:

NUMBER OF TRACERS = 2
NAMES OF TRACERS = 'SALINITY

---

KG/M3

---

';
'SUSTANCIA

---

mg/L

---

'

INITIAL VALUES OF TRACERS = 35; 0


But when the next simulation starts, every value is read from the previous file but SALINITY which restarts to a constant value of 35. Although in the output listing file it says:

CALLING READ_DATASET (TELEMAC-2D)

TITLE OF PREVIOUS COMPUTATION: TITLE

NAME: VELOCITY U UNIT: M/S
NAME: VELOCITY V UNIT: M/S
NAME: WATER DEPTH UNIT: M
NAME: FREE SURFACE UNIT: M
NAME: WIND ALONG X UNIT: M/S
NAME: WIND ALONG Y UNIT: M/S
NAME: SALINITY

---

UNIT: KG/M3

---

NAME: SUSTANCIA

---

UNIT: mg/L

---

Does someone know why is that happening? I have looked up in the forums but couldn't find something that worked.

Thanks in advance

Santiago

Hi
I recently observed this kind of problem
In your steering file, could you add a dummy tracer at the first position and test again.
I think we've got a problem in a numbering but I didn't have time to investigate more.

Let us know if this solution works for you

Hi

I will do that and tell you if it works.

By the way, for the DENSITY EFFECTS = YES, SALINITY has to be the first tracer?

Thanks

Santiago

Hi again,

I added a dummy tracer at the first positition, and effectively SALINITY was read from the previous file but DUMMY restarted to the INITIAL VALUE OF TRACERS.

So, should I make a change in subrutine rescue.f?

Thanks again,

Santiago
