SMS Project Explorer showing CMS-Flow project.

In SMS versions 10.1 and earlier, the bottom roughness is specified using the Manning's n coefficient. In SMS 11.0, the option is provided to use a roughness height, or bottom friction coefficient. 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 1). The bottom friction Dataset is specified at every computational (ocean) cell and is required for each model simulation.

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.
