Data format:

A single line with 5 parameters, as follows:

RHO_SW G RHO_AIR VISCO_SW VISCO_AIR

Status:

Optional

Purpose:

To specify general physical constants, that define the mass, time and force units of the model.

Parameter Description
RHO_SW Mass of the fluid per unit volume (by default : RHO = 1025 kg/m3 (sea water))
G Acceleration of Gravity (by default : G = 9.81 m/s2)
RHO_AIR Air density (by default : RHOAIR = 1.293 kg/)m3
VISCO_SW Water kinematic viscosity. (by default VISCO = 1.30064e-6 m2/s-1)
VISCO_AIR Air kinematic viscosity (by default VISCOAIR = 1.57e-5 m2/s-1)
