open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

Hi all
I've just started some particle tracking experiments using the T3D. The boundaries use TPXO data and WGS84 cords.
I get an error when starting the drogues run at the end of TPXO initialisation of:

OS (BIEF) : DIFFERENT TYPES FOR UCONV (41) AND COSLAT (11)

PLANTE: PROGRAM STOPPED AFTER AN ERROR
RETURNING EXIT CODE: 2

Can anyone point to the reason for this error and what I need to amend.
I have specified the drogue release in Mercator coords and WGS84 with the same result although I assumed they should be Mercator as a tracer source.

Sortie file attached

Thanks in advance
John

Hello,

I have not succeeded in downloading your files.

Anyway, I think there is a bug in the TELEMAC3D subroutine when using spherical coordinates with drogues. In the call
OS('X=Y/Z ',UCONV,UCONV,MESH2D%COSLAT)
MESH2D should be changed to MESH3D (at least not to have your error message) and also for VCONV in the following line and later with
CALL OS('X=XY ',UCONV,MESH2D%COSLAT) MESH2D -> MESH3D
and also for VCONV in the following line.

Can you tell me which version your are using. I can send you the corrected TELEMAC3D subroutine and you can use it as a FORTRAN FILE to test. It would help me as I do not have your input files.

Hi Chi-Tuan

Thanks - it does seem to caused by an error check on the data types when spherical co-ords used with drogues. I'd been tracing it back.
Sorry my error file didn't upload. I failed to hit 'insert'!



I am using V7P2R2 the latest stable.

So - I have amended TELEMAC3D with your edits and compiled locally and it runs.
So I can now test fully and if successful I'll amend the original install.

Thanks you very much for your help.

John
