SMS:BOUSS Runup / Overtopping Input Files
The following files are used by BOUSS-2D in a run-up simulation:
- *.par
- bathy.grd
- porosity.grd (optional)
- damping.grd (optional)
- friction.grd (optional)
Each of these can be read/written by SMS. The prefix for each file will follow this format: "coveragename_arcId".
Parameter File
SMS will write a parameter file (*.par) for each set of wave parameters on each transect. This file contains model control information, 1-d grid data, and the wave maker parameters. Each parameter file represents a unique simulation.
Bathymetry File
This file (bathy.grd) defines the elevations along the 1-d grid (transect arc).
Porosity File
A porosity file (porosity.grd) will be written for each transect arc that is overlapped by a porosity arc. This file defines the porosity values along the 1-d grid. If no porosity arcs are defined, the model uses a default value of 1.0 along the entire grid.
Damping File
A damping file (damping.grd) will be written for each transect arc that is overlapped by a damping arc. This file defines the damping values along the 1-d grid. If no damping arcs are defined, the model uses a default value of 0.0 along the entire grid.
Friction File
A friction file (friction.grd) will be written for each transect arc that is overlapped by a roughness polygon. This file defines the roughness values along the 1-d grid. If no roughness polygons are defined, the model uses the Chezy coefficient defined in the model control along the entire grid.
