scientimate.swanwaterlevelspconst#

swanwaterlevel = scientimate.swanwaterlevelspconst(waterlevel, savedata='no', outfilename='swanwaterlevel.wl', outfilelocation=None)

Description#

Generate SWAN water level file for spatially constant water level

This function can be used for any other scalar variable as well

Inputs#

waterlevel: Water level (or any scalar variable)

If size of waterlevel>1, then it is considered as a time series

1st element is 1st time step, 2nd element is 2nd time step, …
savedata=’no’: Define if save data in a file or not

‘no’: does not save

‘yes’: save data as ascii file
outfilename=’swanwaterlevel.wl’: Name of output file between ‘ ‘ mark, example: ‘swanwaterlevel.wl’

outfilename should have ‘.wl’ extension

In case of using other scalar varable than water level, use proper name and extension
outfilelocation=pwd: Location of output file between ‘ ‘ mark, example: ‘C:' in MATLAB, or ‘C:/’ in Python

Outputs#

swanwaterlevel: Spatially constant water level data (or any scalar variable) formated for SWAN

Note: Water level at each time step is assigned into 4 points,

assuming the water level domain is defined by 4 points, one at each corner

Examples#

import scientimate as sm

waterlevel=[0.5,0.6,0.55] #Data for 3 time steps
savedata='no'
outfilename='swanwaterlevel.wl'
outfilelocation=None
swanwaterlevel=sm.swanwaterlevelspconst(waterlevel,savedata,outfilename,outfilelocation)
