*GAUSSIAN

Data format:

A single line with up to 13 values

NWAGEN TETH HS TP SHAPE IRAND HMHS TMIN TMAX IOSP EXPONENT NB_DIR DELTA

Status : optional (dynamics)

Purpose :

To define a GAUSSIAN wave spectrum divided into into N frequency components

Restrictions :

If GAUSSIAN is selected , DEPTH is required .

Details :

Parameter	Description
NWAGEN	Number of sinusoidal wave components to be generated
TETH	Wave heading (in degrees, positive from X-axis to Y-axis)
HS	Significant wave height (in meters)
TP	Peak period (in s)
SHAPE	Gaussian wave spectrum shape parameter
HMHS	Hmax/Hs ratio (Def = 1.7) If HMHS = 0, no maximum wave height is required.
IRAND	Arbitrary positive integer odd number used to trigger the phase random series generation. Two runs using the same IRAND value will generate the same phase series. (Def =12345). A integer I5 is recommended.
TMIN	Minimum period for the waves generation (in seconds, default = 0.4*Tp).
TMAX	Maximum period for the waves generation (in seconds, default = 2*Tp).
IOSP	= 1 : equal angle between spreading direction = 2 : spreading direction chosen such by constant energy
EXPONENT	Spreading function exponent
NBDIR	number of spreading directions
DELTA	maximum angle in degree of spreading from reference wave direction
