SEAMLESS-WAVE

Logo

SEAMLESS-WAVE is a developing “SoftwarE infrAstructure for Multi-purpose fLood modElling at variouS scaleS” based on "WAVElets" and their versatile properties. The vision behind SEAMLESS-WAVE is to produce an intelligent and holistic modelling framework, which can drastically reduce iterations in building and testing for an optimal model setting, and in controlling the propagation of model-error due to scaling effects and of uncertainty due statistical inputs.

Setting up an initial condition for a DG2 simulation also requires three separate Esri ASCII raster files, for either a water depth (h) or free-surface elevation (h + z) initial condition. These raster files must include the average-coefficient values, the X-directional and the Y-directional slope-coefficient values, with extensions of .start, .start1x and .start1y, respectively.

Files with the extensions .start, .start1x and .start1y can be generated using the toolkit generateDG2start (available in the preprocess directory of LISFLOOD-FP-trunk repository). The toolkit is obtained after compiling the LISFLOOD-FP code, following the instructions within “Compilation”. It will be generated as an executable file with the name generateDG2start.exe on a Windows platform and the name generateDG2start on a Linux-based platform, in the same directory of LISFLOOD-FP executable.

The toolkit requires the availability of an initial condition Esri ASCII raster file in the same folder (where generateDG2start is located), subject to adding .raw to the end of its extension. For example, the free-surface elevation initial condition file for the Merewether test case (recall Preparing the initial conditions files for ACC/FV1 on QGIS) must be renamed to merewether-0p175m.start.raw and placed in the same directory where the generateDG2start.exe file is generated.

For running the generateDG2start.exe for the Merewether test case on Windows, create a directory for the test case, for example named merewether, inside the same directory where generateDG2start.exe is located. Then place the merewether-0p175m.par and merewether-0p175m.start.raw files inside the merewether directory. By clicking on the location bar of the Windows Explorer, then typing cmd and pressing Enter, the Command Prompt Window will be opened in the folder. To run the toolkit, the name of the executable must be entered in the Command prompt, followed by the name of the .par file:

..\generateDG2start.exe merewether-0p175m.par

After running the generateDG2start toolkit, three new raster files will be generated in the same directory, namely:
