This example tests ADCIRC version 55 (and beyond). It tests the simulation of a diurnal tide on a sloping beach with a channel along its centerline (adapted from[1]). It tests lateral periodic boundary conditions and the absorption-generation sponge layer[2][3]. The test finishes in about 8 minutes in parallel ADCIRC (2 processors) for 6 hours of simulation. Find the test at the GitHub test suite.

Mesh

The mesh is comprised of 64,415 vertices and 127,784 triangular elements, with resolution in the 10-60 m range. The mesh is symmetrical in the east-west direction so that the east and west lateral boundary vertices match for the application of the periodic lateral boundary conditions. An elevation specified boundary condition and absorption-generation sponge layer is prescribed at the southern end of the domain.

Options/Features Tested

  • IM = 111112: Uses the explicit scheme (computational time step is 2 seconds).
  • A00, B00, C00 = 0.0, 1.0, 0.0: Must be used with explicit scheme.
  • NOUTGE = 5: Outputs the global elevations into a netCDF4 fort.63 file.
  • NOUTGV = 5: Outputs the global velocities into a netCDF4 fort.64 file.
  • NOUTGM = 5: Outputs the global meteorology into a netCDF4 fort.73 file (pressure) and a netCDF4 fort.74 file (velocity).
  • sponge_generator_layer: Applies a sponge layer to absorb outgoing waves while generating incoming waves. In this case incoming diurnal tidal waves are generated using the fort.53001 and fort.54001 input files.
