Wall Boundary

The wall boundary condition is a closed boundary and is applied at any cell face between wet and dry cells. Any unassigned boundary cell at the edge of the model domain is assumed to be closed and is assigned a wall boundary. A zero normal flux to the boundary is applied at closed boundaries. Two boundary conditions are available for the tangential flow:

  1. Free-slip: no tangential shear stress (wall friction)
  2. Partial-slip: tangential shear stress (wall friction) calculated based on the log law.

Assuming a log law for a rough wall, the partial-slip tangential shear stress is given by

  (1)

where  is the magnitude of the wall parallel current velocity, and is the wall friction coefficient equal to

  (2)

Here, is the roughness length of the wall and is assumed to be equal to that of the bed . The distance from the wall to the cell center is .

Tidal Constituent

The water level predictions are based on a harmonic equation with several arguments

where is the constituent mean amplitude, is a factor that reduces the mean amplitude and varies in time, are the constituents equilibrium phase and is the constituent phase lag or epoch. Table 1 shows a list of the currently supported tidal constituents in CMS.

Flux

The water flux is specified as m^3/sec per cell along the cell string. This value is multiplied by the number of cells in the cell string to obtain the total flux. The total flux is then redistributed along the boundary according to

  (2)

Cross-shore

Along a cross-shore boundary, it is assumed that a well-developed longshore current exists. Thus, the y (alongshore) momentum equation can be reduced as follows

  (3)

The water level setup due to waves and winds at the cross-shore boundary can be determined by assuming a zero alongshore gradient of water level, or using the following equation reduced from the x (cross-shore) momentum equation
