XBeach
XBeach is a two-dimensional model for wave propagation, long waves and mean flow, sediment transport and morphological changes of the nearshore area, beaches, dunes and backbarrier during storms.
Example configuration
XBeachAdapterRun.xml
Export activities
The first steps in the general adapter run are the netcdf and run file export activities, the exported files will be a netcdf file (swanxbinput.nc) containing Swan golf spectra over time and a netcdf file (1xbinput.nc) containing water level over time. The exported run file will contain properties that can be used by the pre adapter. For example:
- TIDE_VARIABLE: name of netcdf variable containing water level
- PARAM_TUNITS: meaning of the time values in XBeach input and output files. For example "seconds since 2001-01-01"
- PARAM_OUTPUTFORMAT: XBeach parameter specifying the output format. Has to be "netcdf" for FEWS to import
- PARAM_TSTOP: XBeach parameter specifying end of XBeach run: for example "36000" which in this case means after 10 hours
XBeach Module Adapter - summary
This page describes the XBeach module adapter, its functions, and provides an example for configuring a XBeach run in FEWS.
The pre-adapter creates the model specific output by replacing tags in template files:
- zs0file.txt for water level input file zs0file.txt
- bcfile.txt and bc.timeXXX.sp2 for SWAN spectrum input files
- params.txt for run information
Furthermore, the pre-adapter writes log messages to a log file called xbeach.log.
There is no post-adapter, since XBeach can be configured to use netcdf as output format that is readable by FEWS.
XBeach pre-adapter
Model pre-adapter for running a XBeach model from Delft-FEWS.
Class name: nl.deltares.xbeach.XBeachPreAdapter
Properties
No specific properties need to be configured for a model run.
There is however extra functionality provided via the properties but this is not needed if the model is setup correctly.
Configured properties Properties starting with "PARAM_" will be passed added or replaced literally to XBeach without "PARAM_"

Execute activities
The next steps are the execute activities. The first will be the pre adapter. This program will read the pi-run.xml input file and use the properties for instructions on which directory and files should be used to convert to the correct XBeach input format.
Golf spectrum conversion
In this example "swanxbinput.nc" will be used to write the golf spectra into the following format:
- waves.txt referencing to golf spectrum files and a time of how long these should be used in each calculation step

- egx.loct001.sp2 containing a golf spectrum
(and in lower case) in the params.txt file which defines the parameters for an XBeach model run.
This functionality should only be used as a debug option and only by someone that understands the XBeach properties in params.txt. To setup a model make sure you use a correctly configured params.txt so this functionality is not needed.
Notes for users
- For all files that are written by this adapter, if the file to be written already exists, then it will be overwritten.
- This program writes log messages to a log file called xbeach.log.
- This program does not make use of a template file, parameters are automatically added and replaced in params.txt without the use of tags.
- This program uses the information in the specified netcdf run file as input and uses this information to do the following actions:
- Create the water level input file: zs0file.txt, see water level conversion
- Create the SWAN spectrum input files bcfile.txt and bc.timeXXX.sp2, see wave spectrum conversion
- Replace or add the parameters 'tstart' and 'tstop' in params.txt, see parameter conversion
System requirements
- This program needs Java version 1.7 or higher.
- This program needs the following Java libraries:
- castor-0.9.5.jar
- commons-httpclient-3.0.1.jar
- Delft_Util.jar
- fews-xbeach-adapter.jar
- log4j-1.2.14.jar
- netcdf-4.2.jar
- slf4j-api-1.5.6.jar
- slf4j-log4j12-1.5.6.jar
- xercesImpl.jar
Xbeach post-adapter
There is no need for an Xbeach post-adapter since XBeach can be configured to use netcdf as output format that is readable by FEWS.
Example configuration generalAdapterRun
A complete example model run configuration file can be found here: XBeachAdapterRun.xml
Information how to prepare a FEWS environment to be able to use the FEWS model adapter can be found here: XBeach FEWS setup
Start up activities
As a first activity it can be useful to delete all files present in the workDir, if for example it would be filled with files from a previous run.

Export activities
The first steps in the general adapter run are the data set, netcdf and run file export activities. The <exportDataSetActivity> will extract a zip file with the module instance id as file name located in "Config\ModuleDataSetFiles\" of the FEWS environment to the workdir. The <exportNetcdfActivity>'s will be a netcdf file (bcfile.nc) containing Swan wave spectra over time and a netcdf file (zs0file.nc) containing water level over time. The <exportNetcdfRunFileActivity> will be a netcdf run file that contains information needed by the pre-adapter. The information will be automatically filled by the general adapter but properties can be configured as extra information. For example properties starting with "PARAM_" will be added or replaced literally without "PARAM_" (and in lower case) in the params.txt file which defines the parameters for an XBeach model run. An example is given in the config below as <string key="PARAM_OUTPUTFORMAT" value="netcdf"/> this adds or replaces parameter 'outputformat' in params.txt and assigns the value 'netcdf'. All parameters should however be already correctly set in params.txt so these property should not be necessary.

Execute activities
The next steps are the execute activities.
The first will be the pre-adapter. This program will read the run.nc input file and use the contents for instructions on which directory and files should be used to convert to the correct XBeach input format. The pre-adapter generates a log file called XBeach.log, which can be read into FEWS by coupling line patterns to FEWS log messages.
The second execute activity will be the module run. XBeach generates different log files with different meaning, in the configuration below, all line from XBerror.txt are coupled to error messages in FEWS, all lines from XBwaring.txt are coupled to info messages in FEWS and all lines in XBlog.txt are coupled to debug messages in FEWS.

Water level conversion
In this example "1xbinput.nc" will be used to write the time dependent water levels to a file named "tide.txt". The first column specifies the time (meaning defined in "PARAM_TUNITS") and the second column water level. For now the adapter only supports the water level as a single boundary condition but XBeach has to possibility to also use 2 or 4 resulting in 1 or 3 extra columns.

Parameter conversion
The pre adapter will also convert all run file string properties starting with "PARAM_" to XBeach parameters in "params.txt".
It reads an existing "params.txt" and searches for a line starting with the specified parameter and replaces the whole line with "parameter = value" or adds a new line in the same format when the parameter was not present yet.

Parameter conversion
It is possible to change model parameters as defined in params.txt from FEWS. The pre-adapter will convert all run file properties starting with "PARAM_" to XBeach parameters in "params.txt". Example: params.txt.
It reads the existing "params.txt" and searches for a line starting with the specified parameter and replaces the whole line with "parameter = value" or adds a new line in the same format when the parameter was not present yet.

Executing model run
The next activity will be executing the XBeach model run. So far this This is done by a .bat file to be able to run the running xbeach.exe in a other directory the workdir containing the input files. It would be preferable to change this in such a way that the .bat file will not be needed.model files.

Import activities
The last part of the general adapter run is importing the XBeach output. In the case xboutput.nc contains all parameter, output and grid information of the run. This can be visualized in FEWS after defining the needed parameters, location and grid. How to do this can be found here: XBeach FEWS setup
