Model Coupling

Model Coupling (steering)

CMS-Flow and CMS-Wave can be run separately or coupled together using a process called steering. The variables passed from CMS-Wave to CMS-Flow are the significant wave height, peak wave period, wave direction, wave breaking dissipation, and radiation stress gradients. CMS-Wave uses the update bathymetry, water levels, and currents from CMS-Flow.

     $\eta (x,y,t+\delta t)={\bar {\eta }}(x,y,t)$
