Gravity Waves Courant Number
The toolbox includes a tool for calculating the Courant number given the time step.
- Note: the variable here is depth, not elevation. For applications relative to mean sea level, using the negative of the elevation relative to a datum is acceptable, but if the water level will vary, the depth is actually the water level minus the ground elevation.
The Gravity Waves Courant Number tool dialog has the following options:
- Input dataset – This is a required input parameter. Specify which depth dataset will be used to generate the gravity wave Courant number dataset.
- Gravity – Enter the gravity value.
- Use time step – Enter the time step value.
- Gravity waves time step dataset – Enter the name for the new gravity wave Courant number dataset.
