Hi,
I've been trying to simulate an outfall discharge which requires a vertical planeto be fixed at the invert level of the outfall (around 2.2 m below MSL, LAT ~= -1.2 m MSL).
I have the model up and running fine with standard sigma transformation (MESH TRANSFORMATION = 1), however immediately see non-convergence on the first timestep when trying to implement the fixed plane at -2.2 with sigma transform everywhere else.
I have a total of 7 layers, and my modifications to the USER_MESH_TRANSF are as follows:
DO IPLAN = 1, 7
TRANSF_PLANE%I(IPLAN)=1
ENDDO
TRANSF_PLANE%I(5)=3
ZPLANE%R(5)=-2.1D0
I assume these is something strange happening with the spacing of the layers somewhere in the grid, although I'm not sure how to debug the issue. Has anybody experienced this issue?
Thanks,
Toby
