When to Use I 30 1 - Full Initialization of Numerical Wave Tank

pjoynt · November 12, 2021, 10:01

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone has any guidance on when to use I 30 1? It looks like what it does is initialize the domain with the theoretical wave profile. Presumably this shouldn't be used in cases where you expect wave breaking within the domain?

Cheers,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

this is mostly used for testing or sometimes for FNPF when calculating 3-hour wave spectra. Yes, you are right, for highly nonlinear waves, this option is not very suitable.
