D-Flow FM VENICE MODEL: MESH CREATION DIFFICULTIES

Connection curvilinear to flat areas (very useful “External triangles to outer quads”)

Flat area –triangulation of samples to net makes… triangles!

Marshlands – a lot of samples so many triangles…

ORTHOGONALITY!!!

DELWAQ

Coupling procedure

Using offline coupling (communication file) and ddbound option to account for dd internal boundaries Pros: • hydro run can have different duration and save only

last cycle to communication file • It is possible to aggregate the grid before coupling it

Cons: • Communication file can be very big • Coupling with ddmodel can be tricky (need manual

modifications of the *.hyd files)

Using online coupling by activating WaqInterval option in the mdu file Pros: • No communication file: creation of WAQ files

(.are, .vol, .flo, etc.) directly • Simple procedure

Cons: • hydro run must have the same duration of

the cycle for WAQ • It is not possible to aggregate the net ** (**for the moment but it will be possible to create the WAQ files on an aggregated grid)

WAQ conditions: processes initial sea/river bnd

• Continuity (g/m3) 1 1/1 • Salinity (g/kg) 34 35/0 • Cons. tracer (g/m3) 1 1/0

• Duration: 30 days, • Dispersion: 1 m2/s • Numerical scheme: 15 Iterative solver, backward diff.

DELWAQ: FLOCHECK

AFACT BAGGER

Show per time step the multiplication factor Applied to the cross-sectional area of each segment

Show the overall volume change

After the coupling procedure for the Delft3D-FLOW model a utility called “flocheck” has been used. This utility makes a kind of “dredging” to increase the volume and/or lateral surface of isolate segments in order to keep the residence time below the user-defined integration time-step.

Rivers are defined in different way in the two hydro models and so different in the WAQ: • Delft3D-FLOW - as discharges • D-Flow FM - discharges boundaries Same dispersion coefficient: 1 m2/s

COMMENTS

D-Flow FM:

• There was no easy way to de-refine easily the mesh. The existing method involves

making a polygon and merging nodes and than smooth/orthogonalize again. The

procedure is very time consuming in such complex system

• In conclusion the creation of the net should be well planned before starting the work

DELWAQ:

• The online D-Flow FM - DELWAQ coupling procedure constrain to use the same grid for

DELWAQ and Hydro simulations (and the same timestep…)

• It is not possible to use Dido to aggregate the mesh and the flocheck procedure doesn’t

work

• It is not possible to defined an spatial varying initial condition using the D-Flow FM mesh
