| 3 | | An example parameter set for ocean runs will follow. |
| | 3 | Since revision r3294 the ocean mode of PALM has been modularized and is activated by adding a {{{&ocean_parameters}}} NAMELIST to the Fortran NAMELIST file for model steering (see [wiki:doc/app/par]). A complete list of parameters available for steering the ocean mode is described [wiki:doc/app/oceanpar here]. |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | A Fortran NAMELIST example file for simulating an ocean mixed layer (OML) can be downloaded from the repository [source:palm/trunk/TESTS/cases/oceanml/INPUT/oceanml_p3d here]. |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | In this example, the Stokes drift is activated (generating a Langmuir circulation) and turbulence generating effects of wave breaking are switched on. The case follows the one described and analyzed by [#noh_etal_2004 Noh et al. (2004)]. |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | After downloading the NAMELIST file, some parameters need to be adjusted by manually editing the file in order to adjust to the original Noh et al. (2004) setup. These adjustments are required because the NAMELIST file is used by our testserver for carrying out short test runs with reduced demand of computational resources. Please set the following parameters: |
| | 10 | {{{ |
| | 11 | nx = 239, |
| | 12 | ny = 239, |
| | 13 | end_time = |
| | 14 | }}} |
