This test case couples ROMS and SWAN directly using the Modeling Coupling Toolkit (MCT) library. To run this application the user needs to activate INLET_TEST. It only can be run in distributed-memory (MPI) since the parallel threads are split to run both ROMS and SWAN at the same time. This test illustrates the significance of wave-current coupling. This application and coupling methodology is described in Warner et al. (2008).
This test case models and idealized tidal inlet system. The model domain is a 15x14 km rectangle with a uniform initial depth of 4 m. The model setup parameters are shown in the table below. The domain is separated into two regions: the seaward (top) and back-barrier (bottom) regions. The seaward region is open with radiation conditions on the western, northern and eastern edges. The back-barrier region is enclosed with four walls and is connected to the seaward region through a 2 km wide inlet. The model is forced by a tide and waves. An oscillating water level is imposed on the northern edge with a tidal amplitude of 1 m. Waves are also imposed on the northern edge with a height of 1 m, directed to the south with a period of 10s.
