Output wave orbital velocity

Question

Hello,

When new water quality module uses wind speed and fetch to calculate surface wave-induced bottom shear stress, Is it possible to output wave orbital velocity in the bottom layer ? In CAEDYM, wave orbital velocity is output in 'Hydrodynamic.wc', but I can't find the counterpart in AEM3D.

Thanks,

Shuqi

Answer 1

Hi Shuqi,  this is not currently available but it should be quite easy to implement.  I'm travelling a bit over the next week or so but will try and do it for you.

Hi Shuqi,

I've added WAVE_T and WAVE_H as keywords that can be output from datablock to the latest build.
