Boundary

Sample bctides.in from a 2D model

Under the current setup, the bctides.in specifies 8 tidal constituents at a single open boundary with a format similar to ADCIRC's fort.15:

For the part of "amplitudes and phases", note that the order of the constituents should be consisitent with that specified in "Forcing Frequencies".

For a quick guide on how to generate the temporally varying part and the spatially varying part of bctides.in from FES, see this README prepared by Dr. Wei Huang (whuang@vims.edu). In addition, if you have an existing bctide.in and only need to change the simulation period (temporally varying part), you can use this script in SCHISM GIT: /schism/src/Utility/Tides/tide_fac_improved/tide_fac_improved

For a complete reference, see SCHISM manual and the sample under your SCHISM GIT directory:
