open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

I had doubts regarding the theory behind telemac 2-d and just wanted to clarify if my understanding is right. I have conducted a dam break study coupling sisyphe and telmac 2-d in which i have used the option " treatment of linear systems = 2" which means that the pseudo wave equation has been used. I have also enabled the k-epsilon model. The command "type of advection = 14;5" Does this mean that the velocity advection is solved using edge by edge implantation of N-scheme and advection of turbulence by PSI distributive scheme. because I had read that " Since release 6.0, the value concerning depth is ignored by TELEMAC-2D. The optimum numerical scheme is automatically selected by the code (conservative scheme)."
Also in blue kenue while adding the boundary condition I have enabled an open boundary with free tracer option. so does this mean I need to specify an advection scheme for the tracer also and if so what happens if I haven't mentioned it in the steering file. also i have not specified anything for propagation steps. I am attaching my steering file which was one that was provided in the examples where i edited just a few commands.
I would also appreciate if any reference is provided for the step by step solution of solving continuity and momentum equation using the pseudo wave equation and how is the psi and n scheme being implemented in the SWE eqns.

Hello Sruthi,

In TELEMAC-2D, the default values for advection schemes are (see telemac2d.dico in the source files or the TELEMAC-2D reference manual):
- 1 for velocities,
- 5 for water depth (now single and mandatory option),
- 1 for tracers/scalars,
- 1 for k/epsilon variables.

If only writing TYPE OF ADVECTION = 14;5 leads to default values for tracers/scalars and k or epsilon, i.e. the ones written above. 14 is then used for velocities.

A good reference for the TELEMAC-2D theory is Jean-Michel Hervouet's book:

Hope this helps,
