Profile Evolution Hydrodynamics

This file describes the wave- and water level conditions during a period of time.

The climate is described by a time series data file with 6 items:

1.       Time (hours)

2.       Wave height, Hrms (m)

3.       Wave direction (deg. N)

4.       Wave period, Tz (s)

5.       Spreading factor n or DSD

6.       Mean water level (m)

Data type parameter = 107

This type of file is obligatory input for the profile evolution tool. The file format can be created from the profile series template ‘Profile Evolution Hydrody­namics.

NOTE: Item 1 contains the time increment in hours for the wave climate. I.e. the value for the first time step must be 0 and the following time steps increasing in order.

NOTE: Item 5 contains either the directional spreading index, n, or the direc­tional standard deviation, DSD (deg). The type is defined as an input parame­ter.
