The Delft3D-WAVE menu in Delft Dashboard resembles the interface of the Delft3D-WAVE modelling suite. More information can be found in the Delft3D-WAVE manual. Moving within the menu will automatically switch between different windows in the Working Space.
Button | Description |
---|---|
Toolbox | To perform a number of operations according to the Toolbox selected from the Toolbox tab in the Top Menu. For all the supported models the startup toolbox is the quick mode of the model maker. For Delft3D-WAVE also the possibility to combine several sources of bathymetry is implemented. |
Description | To add a description to the communication file (MDW file eg.) to describe the purpose of the present model. |
Hydrodynamics | Delft3D-WAVE can be uncoupled (stand-alone) or coupled (offline and online). When choosing the coupled option the user needs to specify the MDF-file of the corresponding Delft3D-FLOW model. Another possibility is online with Dashboard Flow option. This option will automatically result in a coupling between FLOW and WAVE, a commonly used feature. |
Grids | The data group Grids contains the following sub-data groups in the Working Space: Grids, Bathymetry, Spectral resolution, and Nesting. All the tabs are always visible.
|
Time Frame | Defines the computational mode (stationary or non-stationary) and the time points for the WAVE computation. |
Boundaries | To define the boundaries, their location, type and other parameters describing them. It is possible to vary conditions in space and orientation. The wave spectrum can be created based on a parametric relation or via the usage of a sp2 file. |
Obstacles | Defines obstacles in the Delft3D-WAVE simulation. There are two possibilities: sheet & dam. The user can simply click in the Delft Dashboard in order to specify the area where an obstacle is needed. Double click to finalize the line. There is also the possibility to copy the locations of the thin dams from FLOW. |
Physical Parameters | To select or specify a number of parameters related to the physical conditions of the model area. The data Group Physical parameters contains the following sub-data groups in the Working Space: Constants, Wind, Processes, Various. All the tabs are always visible.
|
Numerical Parameters | To specify parameters related to the spectral space and the accuracy criteria. |
Output | To select or specify output there are a number of possibilities. The data Group Output contains the following sub-data groups in the Working Space: General, Grids, Locations, Curves and Debug. All the tabs are always visible.
