Hello I am trying to run the sediment transport in a tank with waves with the following commands:

P 180 1
P 182 0.1
P 10 1
P 30 0.01
W 22 -9.81

But I having trouble with the sediment observation in the paraview.
Also When I am running the simulation the interaction message look like this:

as you can see the sediment volume is 0.

Can someone help me understand what is wrong?

Thank you!

I will have a look and get back to you soon

thank you!

I had a look at your ctrl.txt-file and the ==comments== are my suggestions:

S 10 2
S 11 1
S 12 1 ==just for your information: if you want to include suspended load, you need to define a time-scheme with S 60 for its convection equation and check your sediment fall velocity in S 23==
S 13 0.1
S 14 0.1

S 57 0.7
S 71 0.1 ==start of erosion at x=0.1==
S 72 5 ==end of erosion at x=5.0 m - that means that only erosion between 0.1 and 5 m (generally, it is recommended to use S 73 for relaxation zones with a fixed level instead)==
S 77 34.9 39.0 ==it means the active erosion, hence only sediment transport between x=34.9 and x=39, which does not fit together with S 71 and S 72, please check together with your control.txt where in your domain you need it to be defined and adapt S 71 - S 77 correctly==
S 80 3
P 51 10.0 0.25
P 52 0.25
P 55 0.05

You might also want to check your Shields parameter (S 30, critical for incipient motion), judging from your defined sediment density in S 22 and your sediment diameter defined in S 20, a smaller value might be appropriate

optional but maybe helpful:
P 121 would give you the option to have a bed level gauge at a specific location
P 122 prints the maximum bedchange of the whole region


Hope that helps.

thank you I will test it then I let you know!
