CMS-Flow Model Parameters

Model Parameters

Figure 1. CMS-Flow Model Control : Model Parameters tab for specifying time series output of CMS-Flow calculated datasets.

All of the CMS-Flow model parameters, settings, and output options are controlled from the CMS-Flow Model Control window (Figure 1). The window also has a section for Advanced Cards in which new features which have not been incorporated into the SMS interface yet or more advanced model features more experienced users.

br style=clear:both / 1. Click on CMS-Flow, Model Control, and set each tab as the following figures (Figures 21-25),

2. For Time Control, change the Simulation duration to 744.0 hours, Ramp to 24 hors, and Hydrodynamic time step to 1.0 (must be tested by running CMS-Flow only),

Figure 22. CMS-Flow Model Control: Transport 'tab for specifying time series output of CMS-Flow calculated datasets.

3. For Transport Parameters, change the Transport rate to 1.0 and the Morphologic time step to 10 seconds, check Use non-equilibrium transport and set the parameters as those in Figure 22,

Figure 23. CMS-Flow Model Control: Output 'tab for specifying time series output of CMS-Flow calculated datasets.

4. Set the time series output for the water surface elevation and velocity to the same output interval of 30 minutes, similar to Figure 23,by highlighting Output Times 1, setting the Start Time to 0.0 hr, Increment to 0.5 hr, and End Time to 744.0 hr, and clicking Add,

5. Set Output Times 2 for Morphology output at a 3-hr interval, by changing the Increment to 3.0 and adding, and selecting that on the drop down menu for Morphology,

6. The same can be done for Transport, which should normally be set to an Increment on the order of the tide or wave time series (nowiki/nowiki3 hr; typically 0.5-1.5hr), and it is suggested that it be set to 1-hr output increment for Output Times 3 (Figure 24), OK.

7. For the Advanced Tab, the option for using multiple threads or processors (in all caps, OPENMP_PROCESSORS 2.0) can be set up following Figure 36, OK.
