Hello,
You can have a look at $HOMETEL/examples/tide/t2d_tide-pressbc.cas steering file, in particular the following keywords:
- tide keywords,
- atmospheric pressure + wind keywords,
- atmospheric data file,
- ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE AT TIDAL BOUNDARIES = YES (Inverted barometer method)
and read the TELEMAC-2D user and TELEMAC-2D reference manuals.
In your steering file:
- do not use VARIABLE TIME-STEP = YES with Finite Elements, it generally does not work correctly in TELEMAC-2D (but with Finite Volumes it does),
- if you activate FREE FORMAT FOR ATMOSPHERIC DATA FILE, you have to implement something by yourself. I would recommend to provide a file format compatible to what already exists in openTELEMAC,
- if you change defaul values, you should know why:
- e.g. SOLVER ACCURACY = 1.E-3 may be too relaxed (if too coarse, the convergence may be not reached),
- INITIAL GUESS FOR H = 0, why?
- COEFFICIENT OF WIND INFLUENCE (if you let default value for COEFFICIENT OF WIND INFLUENCE VARYING WITH WIND SPEED, this value is useless).
Hope this helps,
Chi-Tuan
