*WINDLEVEL

Data format:

An arbitrary number of lines with maximum 20 values each.

ZWIND(1) ............ ZWIND(I) ZWIND(I+1) ............ ZWIND(NZWIND)

Status :

Optional

Purpose :

Selects ordinates for further WIND profile input

Restriction :

If present , this keyword must precede *WINDRENT

Details :

Parameter	Description
ZWIND(i)	Levels where WIND velocities will be defined by keyword *WIND2. ZWIND(i) is always negative.

Note

• NZWIND is limited to MAXNOE
• ZWIND(1) must always be zero (water surface). Other values are in decreasing order.
• A uniform velocity VWIND(I,NZWIND) (see *WINDRENT) will be applied to the nodes below ZWIND(NZWIND)
• The WIND is linearly interpolated between given depths.

*WINDLEVEL
0. -10. -20. -50. -80.

This gives the depths at which the WIND in *WIND2 will be defined.

Example:

INCWIND
0 1.0
WINDLEVEL
