open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

I am modeling the erosion of a beach profile in a wave flume. I have been using Tomawac to generate a wave state in the flume using a wave boundary at which a wave spectrum of is constantly entering the system in attempt to simulate the action of a physical wave paddle. I then wish transfer this wave state into wave induced currents and then use these currents to drive erosion in sisyphe.

The problem is that when Telemac 2D converts the wave state to wave induced currents. It only considers the wave state at a single time step in the Tomawac results file. Hence I cannot replicate a continuous input of wave induced currents as would be generated by a wave paddle.

Is it possible for Telemac 2D to continuously produce wave induced currents considering multiple time steps from the Tomowac results file?

Hello,

Yes, Telemac-2D takes the last time-step. We (or you) could modify the program so that the correct time-step is read but well, we now have the coupling between Tomawac and Telemac-2D in version 6.1, so this is probably what you should do.

With best regards,

I see. So if I use V6P1 I couple it with tomawac, will be able to generate wave induced currents based on the wave states from all the tomawac time steps?

Thanks for the response
