Variable resolution grid structure

Question

Hi Chris-

I want to setup domains with variable resolution grid structure meshes (coarse offshore/ fine nearshore). Can you please advise where I can find an example describing the steps? and which setting has to be used?

Thanks,
RV

Hi RV,

AEM3D doesn't currently have the capacity to directly run nested model domains.

For some domains you can use the variable dx/dy grid sizing to increase resolution near shore.

Thanks

Chris

Thanks Chris-

Can you please clarify in which domains we can use the variable dx/dy grid sizing to increase resolution near shore?

I appreciate if you can share an example.
