open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

Hi,

I'm begginer in TELEMAC, and I'm trying to model a river in Chile using TELEMAC-2D internal coupled with SISYPHE.

In the SISYPHE steering file, I set:

BED-LOAD TRANSPORT FORMULA = 1 /MPM

HIDING FACTOR FORMULA = 1

NUMBER OF SIZE-CLASSES OF BED MATERIAL = 8
SEDIMENT DIAMETERS = 0.77E-3;1.74E-3;6.71E-3;45.78;E-3;200.56E-3;280.72E-3;536.16E-3;1000E-3

INITIAL FRACTION FOR PARTICULAR SIZE CLASS = 0.1;0.06;0.09;0.25;0.34;0.06;0.05;0.05

CONSTANT ACTIVE LAYER THICKNESS = YES


When I run TELEMAC-2D coupled with SISYPHE, the following error occurs:

SUM OF SEDIMENT FRACTIONS IS NOT 1
PLANTE: PROGRAM STOPPED AFTER AN ERROR

But, the sum of the fractions asociated to the 8 sediments diameters is 1.
0.1+0.06+0.09+0.25+0.34+0.06+0.05+0.05 = 1

What could be the problem?

I attached the steering file I'm using.

Thanks,

Gonzalo

Hi Gonzalo,
There is a typo in your grain size definition:
45.78;E-3
That might cause the error message, although I am not sure how this leads to the mentioned message.
Also, are you really intending to have a grain size class with a diameter of 1m (1000E-3).

If that doesn't work, try adding a 0 behind all fractions (and two beind 0.1, e.g. 0.100).

mafknaapen,

thank you for your reply.

The typo 45.78;E-3 was the problem, but I'm having the follwoing error now.

what could be?

I found this post in the forum having the same error:

www.opentelemac.org/index.php/community-...n-littoral-test-case

but I can't find the solution.

SISYPHE (and the other models in the TELEMAC-MASCARRET system) only read 128 characters per line. Your line with the grain sizes is too long, so it stpes to the next line, expecting a real number, but getting a character string.
