Input Command Structure

Each data group is preceded by an identification text line, such as

SYSTem DESCription SIMO

The uppercase (capital) letters must be written exactly as described, while the lowercase letters can be omitted.

Lines starting with a hyphen ( ' ) are not read by SIMO, and can be used for comments.

1. File heading

This data group is mandatory, is given in the start of the file, and can only be given once.

1.1. Start of file

1 input line.

SYSTem DESCription SIMO

1.2. Text for identifying the system

3 input lines.

 TXSYS

  • TXSYS: character(60): Character string describing the system.

1.3. Units and physical constants

1 input line.

 LENUNI TIMUNI MASUNI GRAV RHOW RHOA WAKIVI AIRKIVI

  • LENUNI, character(8), default: "m": Length unit \(\mathrm {[L]}\)

  • TIMUNI, character(8), default: "s": Time unit \(\mathrm {[T]}\)

  • MASUNI, character(8), default: "Mg": Mass unit \(\mathrm {[M]}\)

  • GRAV, real, default: 9.81: Acceleration of gravity \(\mathrm {[L/T^2]}\)

  • RHOW, real, default: 1.025: Mass density of water \(\mathrm {[M/L^3]}\)

  • RHOA, real, default: 0.00125: Mass density of air \(\mathrm {[M/L^3]}\)

  • WAKIVI, real, default: 1.188e-6: Kinematic viscosity of water \(\mathrm {[L^2/T]}\)

  • AIRKIVI, real, default: 1.516e-5: Kinematic viscosity of air \(\mathrm {[L^2/T]}\)

LENUNI, TIMUNI and MASUNI are dummy parameters, to be used as a reminder of the units used. GRAV, RHOW and RHOA must be positive.

1.4. 1 input line

DEPTH  DIRSLO  SLOPE

  • DEPTH, real, default: 100.0: Depth at global origin \(\mathrm {[L]}\)

  • DIRSLO, real: Dummy

  • SLOPE, real: Dummy

2. File termination

2.1. 1 input line that terminates reading of the file.
