Hello David,
You can read this paper:
henry.baw.de/server/api/core/bitstreams/...47f0550bd9c5/content
As written in the link you have already seen, you can have a look at the TELEMAC-2D example called tide, e.g. the 2 steering files t2d_tide-ES_real.cas (for TPXO-like solutions) or t2d_tide-NEA_prior_real.cas (for FES-like solutions). See folder $HOMETEL/examples/telemac2d/tide
You can read the TELEMAC-2D user manual available here:
wiki.opentelemac.org/doku.php?id=documentation_v8p5r0
and in particular the "Tidal Harmonic consitutents databases" subsection (4.2.13 for release v8p5).
You have a few keywords to help to calibrate:
- COEFFICIENT TO CALIBRATE SEA LEVEL,
- COEFFICIENT TO CALIBRATE TIDAL RANGE,
- COEFFICIENT TO CALIBRATE TIDAL VELOCITIES.
The first 2 ones to calibrate tidal levels and the last one to calibrate tidal velocities. You can also calibrate friction coefficient, use friction by zones , etc.
You can try every turbulence model available in TELEMAC-2D, the problem with constant viscosity is you have to set the keyword VELOCITY DIFFUSIVITY.
Depending on the area you model, it may not to be too sensitive.
Hope this helps,
Chi-Tuan
