Bottom Friction Dataset
Overview
In SMS versions 10.1 and earlier, the bottom roughness is specified using the Manning's n coefficient in the Cells tab of the CMS-Flow Model Control window (see Figure 1). In SMS 11.0, the option is provided to use a roughness height, or bottom friction coefficient in addition to the Manning's coefficient. In SMS 11.0 the bottom roughness is specified in the Bottom Friction Dataset section of within the Input tab of the CMS-Flow Model Control window (see Figure 2). The Bottom Friction Dataset is specified at every computational (ocean) cell and is required for each model simulation.
Creating
In SMS 11.0 each time a new CMS-Flow simulation is created a bottom friction (roughness) dataset needs to be created using the Create Dataset button. The bottom friction parameter (related to Manning ) is spatially varying (cell-specific) over the grid domain. The default value upon grid creation is 0.025. At times a user may desire to represent locations where added friction is needed due to structures or increased turbulence due to sharp changes in current speed. More information on using this feature of CMS-Flow can be found here.
Once the Bottom Friction Dataset is created and the CMS-Flow Model Control window closed, a new auxiliary dataset will appear in the SMS Project Explorer (see Figure 3). Table 1. shows a list of the CMS cards related to the bottom friction datasets.
Table 1. SMS Cards related to the bottom friction datasets
Card | Arguments | Default | Range | Description | Versions |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
USE_WALL_FRICTION | CHARACTER | ON | ON | OFF | Turns on or off wall friction | >=3.5 |
MANNING_N_DATASET | CHARACTER CHARACTER | [<grid file>] [<grid name>//"Datasets/ManningsN"] | none | Grid file name and dataset path for the input Manning's n dataset | >=v3.5 |
BOTTOM_FRICTION_COEF_DATASET | CHARACTER CHARACTER | [<grid file>] [<grid name>//"Datasets/BottomFricCoef"] | none | Grid file name and dataset path for the input bottom friction coefficient dataset | >=v4.0 |
ROUGHNESS_HEIGHT_DATASET | CHARACTER CHARACTER | [<grid file>] [<grid name>//"Datasets/RoughnessHeight"] | none | Grid file name and dataset path for the input roughness height dataset | >=v4.0 |
Editing
Bottom roughness datasets may be edited manually, using the Data Calculator or by interpolating from a scatter set. Figure 4 shows an example where the Manning's n coefficient is increased for Shark River Inlet to account for the presence of vertical piles.

Exporting
Exporting the bottom roughness (friction) datasets is useful for creating different project alternatives or when switching from different bottom roughness datasets types such as from Manning's n to Bottom Friction Coefficient and back. It is also useful for scripting multiple runs with different project alternatives.
Advanced Cards

Card | Arguments | Default | Range | Description | CMS Versions |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
MANNING_N_CONSTANT | real number | none | >=0.0 | Specifies a constant input Manning's n coefficient. Over-rides any previous bottom friction cards. | >=v4.0 |
BOTTOM_FRICTION_COEF_CONSTANT | real number | none | >=0.0 | Specifies a constant input Bottom Friction Coefficient. Over-rides any previous bottom friction cards. | >=v4.0 |
ROUGHNESS_HEIGHT_CONSTANT | real number | none | >=0.0 | Specifies a constant Roughness Height in m. Over-rides any previous bottom friction cards. | >=v4.0 |
Wall Friction
The wall friction enhances the flow drag perpendicular to any dry boundary. The wall friction may be turned On or Off in the Flow tab of the CMS-Flow Model Control window (see Figure 7). The default in SMS is for the wall friction to be ON. Table 3 shows the CMS card used activating the wall friction.

Wave-enhanced Bottom Friction (Advanced)
In the presence of waves, the mean (short-wave averaged) bottom shear stress which is used in the momentum equations is enhanced. There are 5 different options in CMS for estimating the wave-enhanced bottom friction. The default is a simple quadratic formula but can be changes using the Advanced Card described in Table 3.

Bed Slope Friction Factor (Advanced)
The bed slope friction factor accounts for the increased surface area over sloping beds as compared to the horizontal area. This feature may be turned On or Off through the Advanced Card described in Table 4.
