TOPIC: Variable suspended input

Hello all!

The case I try to simulate contains three sediment classes, two of them mostly transported by bedload (with diameters of 1mm and 2cm) and one exclusively transported by suspension.

I am currently trying to run a simulation with the latter class only.

What I'd like to do is to impose a variable input of such class. I guess the CONLIT subroutine is what I'm supposed to work with, but I do have a couple of issues with it.

1) With bedload, I used to modify the value of QBOR to set the variable input of sediments, but the bedload is turned off in my simulation.
2) By checking the suspension part of the subroutine, I've seen the CBOR variable. However, setting CBOR%ADR(1)%P%R(K) seems to set a percentage only, not a discharge in m^3/s or g/L.
3) So CBOR sets a percentage, but what does it mean from a physics point of view?

Thanks in advance!
(I have attached the steering file and conlim file below if you'd like to take a look at it)

CBOR is the dimensionless concentration in m3/m3. You get is by dividing the concentration in g/l (=kg/m3) by the sediment density (kg/m3).

Oh, thank you!

So if I want a 1 g/L concentration on the input with a sediment density of 1500, I have to set CBOR to 1/1500.

While we're on the subject of CBOR, what does CBOR_CLASSE refers to?
The "declaration_sisyphe.f" file says "MUD CONCENTRATION AT BOUNDARIES FOR EACH CLASS", but is it link to a particular keyword?
