Draft tube settings

Question

Hi Chris,

It may be a bug.

There are two types of option for drafttube setting in run_aem3d.dat.

One is idrafttube and the other is itube.

It seems that both options does not read time series setting file (drafttube.dat) properly.

Could you check the code?

Hi Hiroshi,

itube is not used anywhere and I've removed it from the code.

WHat problems are you having with drafttube.dat?

Hi Chris,
The following is the example of my file.
It should be always turning on the drafttube.
Initially there was a strong destratification by drafttube.
But gradually the destrartificaiton decreased.
I thought update of the flow was not correct.

Hi Chris,
I am sorry. I found my mistake.
I put a b drafttube in a river system where the depth is shallower than I thought.
I moved it to a deeper part and then it worked.
Thank you for your concern.
