[hide]When I do calibrate my tomawac simulation , i successfully had the right wave height but not, I think not the right wave direction.
The in situs data show the mean wave direction as SW (220) from 185 to 230 but i always get 290 to 300.
I try many different and opposed boundary main direction waves. or the wind, with or without it.
as post processor I use BKenue and python scripts
in coupling (t3d-tpxo)same, but I can’t run wave driven current simulation due to error message, “it cannot find the currents file”
i did want to try reflexion difrraction , but the definition of the boundary condition is a bit difficult for me.
i use v8p4.
I am just trying to switch to Swan model to see what is going wrong, but I am not sure I can do a t3d-swan-gaia modelisation , which is my final goal.
attach my simulation files.[/hide]

Hello,
in your telemac3D steering file you specify a file for BINARY DATABASE 1 FOR TIDE, but you didn’t attach it in your message, so i can’t test your case.
So please attach ‘hf.AO_2008.out’ and ‘uv.AO_2008.out’ then i will try to run your case to understand your problem

Thanks to my colleague [name removed] who gaves me the files you mention in your steering file i could run your case. but i don’t have the problem of current file not found, in Tomawac, which is normal because when you couple tomawac with telemac3d the current is transmitted through the coupling not through a file.
So may be there is something i didn’t understand in your explanation.
As for the mean direction i can’t judge if it fits the measurements i join the map i obtain. Note that since last version you can also have peak direction in outputs.

thank you Sir T.
see attached the different files for the simulation (binary files for the tpxo.)
however , questions: considering the Cartesian coordinate,
if I want to simulate a Wave coming from South, do I write 180 or 0 in the steering file.
in bleukenue if I see the direction 0 in the tomawac result files-mean direction , does it means the wave coming from north or from south.

You will find this information p45 of the documentation.

thank you sir T , and thank you [name removed], I tried to share the files but it was not working.
for the simulation, I do have the same results. now it is a problem of understanding, because a 330 to 0 wave approching the coast is a wave coming from N-W, I think, which is the continent, so I am a bit lost.

May be that you will be a little bit less lost now that you know it is waves going to N.
thx sir [name removed] so now I need to look for other parameters in order to have the right result
