CMS-Flow Boundary Conditions/WSE Nesting
Extracted Water Levels from a Parent Simulation
CMS supports automated one-way nesting within parent CMS and ADCIRC models. When using this feature, the CMS automatically extracts the boundary condition information from the parent model solution. The user only has to specify to point to the boundary cellstring and the location and name of the parent model simulation. The user may force the CMS with either water levels or water levels and velocities extracted from the parent simulation.
Example 1: Extracting water levels from parent ADCIRC simulation
Since the ADCIRC simulation files do not contain information on the starting date or horizontal projection, this information needs to be provided in the model input.
BOUNDARY_BEGIN
- NAME "Nested Boundary"
- CELLSTRING "Flow_mp.h5" "PROPERTIES/Model Params/Boundary"
- WSE_BEGIN !All settings for wse at the boundary set here
- OFFSET 0.1 m !optional, positive is upwards
- TIME_INTERP_ORDER 2 !optional, temporal interpolation
- SPACE_SMOOTH_ITER 1 !optional, spatial smoothing iterations
- SPACE_SMOOTH_WIDTH 3 !optional, spatial smoothing window width
- WSE_END
- PARENT_BEGIN !All settings for parent simulation set here
- GRID_FILE "..\ADCIRC_Regional\fort.14"
- WSE_SOL_FILE "..\ADCIRC_Regional\fort.63" !Optional
- STARTING_DATE_TIME 2012-12-01 00:00:00 UTC
- HORIZ_PROJ_BEGIN !Optional, assumed if not specified
- DATUM NAD83 !NAD27 | NAD83 | LOCAL

- UNITS DEGREES !METERS | FEET | DEGREES | etc.
- HORIZ_PROJ_END
- PARENT_END
BOUNDARY_END
Example 2: Extracting water levels from parent CMS simulation
If a parent CMS simulation is used, all of the necessary information including horizontal projection, grid file name, and water level solution file are extracted from the CMS Card File.
BOUNDARY_BEGIN
- NAME "Nested CMS Boundary"
- CELLSTRING "Flow_mp.h5" "PROPERTIES/Model Params/Boundary"
- WSE_BEGIN
- WSE_SOLUTION PARENT !required
- WSE_OFFSET 0.1 m !optional, positive is upwards
- TIME_INTERP_ORDER 2 !optional, temporal interpolation
- SPACE_SMOOTH_ITER 1 !optional, spatial smoothing iterations
- SPACE_SMOOTH_WIDTH 3 !optional, spatial smoothing window width
- WSE_END
- PARENT_BEGIN
- CONTROL_FILE "..\CMS_Regional\Flow_Reg.cmcards"
- !All other settings are obtained from the control file
- PARENT_END
