open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

Hi'

I am interested to calculate breaker wave characteristics such as breaker angle and breaker ht at the coast to estimate the longshore current and longshore sediment transport at the location.To estimate these quantities which module of Telemac will be helpful?.

Regards.....

Hello,

If I understand well, you would like to estimate the effect of breaking waves in the longshore current and longshore sediment transport generation.

To do so, you should chain three different modules :
- TOMAWAC to simulate the wave propagation and breaking;
- TELEMAC to simulate the longshore current ;
- SISYPHE to simulate the sediment transport.

From the TOMAWAC simulations you can obtain the components along the X and Y axes of the radiation force due to waves (variable FX and FY).
By imposing those variables in the TELEMAC model you can simulate the wave-induced longshore current.
Eventually, the longshore current profile obtained via TELEMAC must be imposed in the SISYPHE model to calculate the sediment transport.


A case similar to the case you want to implement is available as test case in the SISYPHE training section, on the Telemac website. The case whom I refer to is the case "03.littoral": TOMAWAC, TELEMAC and SISYPHE are chained to simulate the impact of waves on longshore current and sediment transport.

Hope it helps.
Kind regards,

Giovanni

I thought that it is the Artemis module.If it is not then for what Artemis module is using.
