Suspended Load release from a section

Good morning, everyone,

I intend to release suspended sediment, considering fixed bed load, from a specific section (middle of the channel).

I've learned that to achieve this, I need to input sediment data via the "INITIAL" file.

Could you please provide the exact syntax for this file? I've tried the one I found in other forum posts, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Should I input this syntax into an Excel file?

File example:

time 0.0
         C [m3/m3]  Mixture Name
'Qp1a'   0.001      unique
'Qp1b'   0.001      unique
'Qp1c'   0.001      unique
'Qp1d'   0.001      unique
'Qp1e'   0.001      unique
Should the cross-section names be enclosed in quotation marks ""?

May I request the initial file used in the TEST CASE ST_BC_2?

Thank you,

Rebecca

Re: Suspended Load release from a section

Hi Rebecca,

If I understand correctly, you want to provide the initial conditions for a suspended load simulation (initial concentration) via a file.

In this case, the file specified under 'SUSPENDED_LOAD/INITIAL/file' should have the following format:

time: 0                                                                      
                          C		      Mixture
              Qp1	  5.44571E-05          mixture
              Qp1.1       6.97497E-05          mixture        
              Qp1.2       8.88912E-05          mixture        
              Qp1.3       0.000112721          mixture        
              Qp1.4       0.000142225          mixture        
              Qp1.5       0.000178558          mixture        
              Qp1.6       0.000223054          mixture      
              Qp1.7       0.000277248          mixture

The test cases ST_BC_2a or ST_BC_2b including any initial files can be downloaded from the Test Case Section of official BASEMENT website.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,
Matthias

Re: Suspended Load release from a section

Hello Matthias,

Unfortunately it's still not working.
Even if i copy paste my information in the file you sent me or in the initial files of the test case.
I can't figure out what's the problem.

I have a very regular geometry. Rectangular channel exactly as in the test case.

Re: Suspended Load release from a section

Hi Rebecca

Is there an error message before the simulation crashes? And does the model run if you use only the hydrodynamic block?

Regards,
Matthias

Re: Suspended Load release from a section

Dear Matthias,
Thank you for your quick answer.

The hydrodynamic block runs and it reaches the steady state.
Also the morphodynamic block runs but only if i put the input as a BOUNDARY CONDITION FILE (in this case i can set only the duration of the "spill").

Once i set the INITIAL file in the suspended load block it just crashes, no error messages.

p.s i tried to modify the geometry of the test cases with my data but it does not run as well.


Thank you,
Rebecca

Re: Suspended Load release from a section

Sorry still to bother you.
I see in the Geometry file this Syntax.

It's maybe this command that changes since the test case runs, and my model (that i set exactly in the same way) does not?
What are FUNIN VALUES?


// FUNIN values: 0.1	0.05	30 30 , , 30	/
/* generated section -> put it into your bmc file!
   ATTENTION: bmg expects friction definition in the HYDRAULICS > FRICTION block
SECTION_COMPUTATION {
    type = table ST_BC_2_table /
    min_interval = 0.05
    max_interval = 0.1
    table_name   = unused
}
*/
// FUNIN 20: 	Qp1	0	, ,,, , 1 /
// FUNIN 21: 	0	13	 	/
// FUNIN 21: 	0	1	/
// FUNIN 21: 	20	1	/
// FUNIN 21: 	20	13	 	/
CROSS_SECTION {
    name = Qp1
    distance_coord = 0
    friction_coefficients = (30)
    friction_ranges       = (
        (0,20)
    )
    node_coords = (
        (0,13),
        (0,1),
        (20,1),
        (20,13)
    )
}

Thank you,

Rebecca

Re: Suspended Load release from a section

Hi Rebecca

The lines in the geometry file starting with "//" or any lines between "/*" and "*/" are commented out and do affect how the geometry file is read.

From your description I cannot figure out the problem. If you can provide the complete files of a test case that reproduces the problem, I can try to have a look.

Best Regards,
Matthias

Good Morning Matthias,

I copy here my Geometry File and the Initial file of the suspended load block.

Beside these two files, the model is exactly the same of the test case.

Re: Suspended Load release from a section

Hi Rebecca

Please provide a complete test case (all necessary files) in a zip folder. Either email them to me or provide a link for download.

Regards,
Matthias

Re: Suspended Load release from a section

Hi Rebecca,

The problem is a missing "end" at the bottom of the suspended load initial file:

time: 0.0
C    Mixture
5000    0.05    uniform
4500.00   0    uniform
4000.00   0    uniform
3500.00   0    uniform
3000.00   0    uniform
2500.00   0    uniform
2000.00   0    uniform
1500.00   0    uniform
1000.00   0    uniform
500.00   0    uniform
0   0    uniform
end # <-- this was missing

I hope this solves the issue.

Best regards,
Matthias
