I am trying to run a Delft3D FM hydrodynamic model with the composite
heat flux model. However, this is not working for me, I specify
initial conditions, boundaries, and I have created a meteo file
including air temperature (degree C), humidity (%), cloud cover (%),
and Solar radiation (W/m2).
In shallow waters (or possibly only areas with flooding and drying, I
have not been able to establish that), the temperature sky rockets, it
increases from the initial 8 degrees to 50 degrees in just a few hours
(the model covers Wales in the winter). Even if I do not include the
solar radiation or set it to 0 W/m2, this happens. Has anyone
experienced this, and is there a solution/what am I doing wrong?
Any hints would be appreciated
Update: It appears to be an issue with flooding/drying. It appears
that the ocean model / composite temperature model does not recognise
the same drying cut-off as the hydrodynamic model, and therefor keeps
heating or cooling cells that the hydrodynamic model considers dry.
These cells respond very quickly, and the excess heat
"bleeds" in to the model domain.
Is there a way of telling the composite temperature model to
ignore cells with water level below a certain threshold?
