jescobar OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 22 Thank you received: 2	Hello everybody, Is there a way to increase the TIDE COEFFICIENT of schematic tides? I’d like to use values different to those imposed with OPTION FOR TIDAL BOUNDARY CONDITIONS, but haven’t found where it is defined in the TELEMAC2D source code. Thanks! Sebastian

Hello Sebastian,

What do you mean by "TIDAL COEFFICIENT", French tidal coefficient defined from 20 to 120?

What is implemented is a way to reproduce periodic tides with tidal behaviour around the 5 French tidal coefficients (approximatively 30, 45, 70, 95 and 110). Depending on the tidal database you want to use, it is implemented in BORD_TIDE, BORD_TIDE_MISC subroutines or TPXO module.

If you want intermediate behaviours, what you can do is to use one of the current choice (OPTION FOR TIDAL BOUNDARY CONDITIONS from 2 to 6, close to the French tidal coefficient you want to model) and play with the keyword COEFFICIENT TO CALIBRATE TIDAL RANGE to increase or decrease tidal range (perhaps you also have to change COEFFICIENT TO CALIBRATE TIDAL VELOCITIES as well).

Hope this helps,

Chi-Tuan
