Hi,
Since I'm also interested in this topic, I did some testing regarding the topic non-stationary wind in time and discovered a strange behaviour.
But first some basic information about my set-up. I'm running v8p2r0 revision 16583. However, `svn info` gives me the information that the last change was done at revision 16174. I used /tags/v8p2r0 for connecting to the repository.
Regarding the testing; I simply applied wind from the 4 main cardinal directions (steady regarding direction), which I ramped up from 0 to 10. When doing so I experienced that it was generally no problem to have either wind from west or from east, but wind from north or south was simply not possible. Also with some additional testing (wind from SW, SE, NE, NW) I generally experienced that the Y direction of wind simply had no influence on the simulations itself.
I defined the wind with a simple .txt as follows:
OPTION FOR WIND = 2
ASCII ATMOSPHERIC DATA FILE = 'wind.txt'
The wind file itself has the following structure:
# comment
# comment
T WINDX WINDY
s m/s m/s
T1 U1 V1
T2 U2 V2
Tn Un Vn
Moreover, it was possible for me to have the keyword
activated and
ASCII ATMOSPHERIC DATA FILE = 'wind.txt'
commented out without getting any error.
I'm not sure if this is an error from my side and how I apply changing wind to the model or this might be related to the issues mentioned in #38245 of this thread.
I'm happy to provide more information if needed if this issues does not originate from the way I apply the wind.
Best regards
