*LOGNORM
Data format:
A single line with up to 13 values
NWAGEN TETH HS TP STD HMHS IRAND TMIN TMAX IOSP EXPONENT NB_DIR DELTA
Status :
Optional (dynamics)
Purpose :
To define a LOGNORMAL wave spectrum divided into N frequency components. See Lognormal spectrum
Restrictions :
If LOGNORM is selected , DEPTH is required .
Details :
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
NWAGEN | Number of sinusoidal wave components to be generated |
TETH | Direction of propagation (degrees from the positive X axis) |
HS | Significant height |
TP | Peak period |
STD | Standard deviation |
TM | Mean period |
HMHS | The target maximum wave height over significant wave height ratio. A maximum wave height at least equal to HMHS x HS will be encountered during the simulation. If HMHS = 0, no maximum wave height is looked for. |
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 (Default = 0.4*Tp). |
TMAX | Maximum period for the waves generation (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 |
