Fort.46: 3D Turbulence at All Nodes

This file contains turbulence time series output at all nodes in the model grid as specified in the Model Parameter and Periodic Boundary Condition File.

File Structure

The file is written in ASCII format. The basic structure is shown below:

RUNDES, RUNID, AGRID

NDSET3DGT, NP, DTDP * NSPO3DGT, NSPO3DGT, NFEN, IRTYPE

for k=1, NDSET3DGT
    TIME, IT, (SIGMA(N), SIGMA(N), SIGMA(N), N=1, NFEN-1), SIGMA(NFEN), SIGMA(NFEN)

    for j=1, NP
        j, (q20(j,M), l(j,M), EV(j,M), M=1, NFEN)
    end j loop
end k loop

Notes

• Output is only available in ASCII format

• Time series data is recorded at all nodes in the model grid

• Turbulence parameters are stored as:

  • q20: turbulent kinetic energy

  • l: turbulent length scale

  • EV: vertical eddy viscosity

• Data is recorded at multiple vertical levels defined by SIGMA values

• Similar to fort.43 but provides data for the entire model domain instead of specific stations
