ROMS Boundary Condition: Clamped vs. Flather

#1 Unread post by moghimi »

Dear All,
I am modeling a tidal inlet. Here is the information at open boundaries:
- OTPS tide file
- I generated non-tidal water surface elevation at open boundaries (zeta).
- I do not have non-tidal 2D velocities at the open boundaries (no ubar and vbar).

I wonder what would be the correct combination of CPP options.
Since I do not have velocities I was thinking instead of convectional:
#define EAST_FSCHAPMAN
#define EAST_M2FLATHER

I thought of using EAST_FSCLAMPED together with EAST_M2RADIATION passive condition to let the extra volumes go out of the domain. My set-up did not below up but obviously not doing well too.

Any suggestions or link to a useful link or document is appropriated,
Saeed.

I would stick with the Chapman/Flather.

I would use ADD_FSOBC and ADD_M2OBC. Lacking a real M2OBC, I would use ANA_M2OBC, setting it to zero.

Have you tried M2REDUCED option?

Hi,
Thanks for the answer. Not yet.
I am trying to get the model run with what Kate proposed. Would you please explain more about what combination of CPP defs do you mean to be used for compilation?

Saeed.

Apparently, you are using a very old version the ROMS. All the CPP for open boundary conditions were removed and replaced with logical switches in ocean.in to facilitate nesting.
