*SQUALLWIND, FILE=PATH\FILSQ.dat
Data format:
A single line with 2 values
BTIME DURAT
Status :
Optional (dynamics)
Purpose :
This command defines a sequence of a squall wind. A variation of the velocity and the heading of the wind is taken into account.
Details :
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| BTIME | Beginning time (s) |
| DURAT | Duration of the squall wind event (s) |
| PATH | Definition of the PATH of the location of the wave ASCII file |
| FILSQ | name of the ASCII squall wind definition input file |
File definition :
Warning
The name of the external file describing the squall wind is limited to 8 characters and his extension is .dat. The separator is " " (a space). The structure of the file is : \(t_i\) \(V_i\) \(H_i\)
\(t_j\) \(V_j\) \(H_j\)
\(t_k\) \(V_k\) \(H_k\)
where :
-
\(t_i\) = Time step of the squall wind (s), TI may be different than the time step used within the simulation.
-
\(V_i\) = Velocity of the squall wind at TI (UNIT/s)
-
\(H_i\) = heading at TI ()
Example :
*SQUALLWIND,FILE=PATH\squall21.dat
500 100
This defines a squall wind beginning at t=500 seconds with a 100 seconds duration. The external file is squall21.dat.
