Hello!

I'm trying to calibrate a wave model and then add currents to it (in a 2d model).

When I generate the wave model and do it with the B 98 2 relaxation method it "works" properly, but when I switch to the Dirichlet method (B 98 3), the wave does not flow along the channel.

In order to model wave + current, I need to use B 98 3 & B 99 0.

• Any suggestions on how to fix this error?
• the problem may be in the domain (control file)?
• Am I modeling it wrong?

I'm a fairly new user to this, so any help, comments or guidance could be of great help to me.

Hei Vergara,
You seem to be using an older version of the code.
Please update to the latest release and let us know if you still have problems and we can pursue it further.

I see you are on an older code as the new version accepts only two values for
B 93 (wave height and period)
B 96 (zones on two ends of the tank)

With three values as you have now, the latest code should give you an error right at the start.

With a slightly older code, you will get wrong waves when you have three values for B 91/ 93

Hope this helps, do get back in touch if you have problems with the latest version.

Also,
if you are using the combination
B 98 3 B 99 0

Then you dont need B 96 at all. This applies only to B 98 1/2 and B 99 1/2 calls.

Although, if you keep it, it is not a problem (as the code will ignore this line), but be aware that with B 98 3/4 and B 99 0/3/4, there are zones. Removing it or writing B 96 0 0 will just remind you this situation and keep the input "clean"

Hi Vergara Juan,

a couple of comments:

- the vertical grid resolution is too low (only 1 cell over the water depth)
- for the water depth, the tank is too high, best to use 2x water depth
- but the reason for the crash is that you removed the W 22 -9.81 statement, which gives you g. The default is 0.0 and that results in high velocities within the wave theories which give the input for the wave tank.

See attached a working setup.
