Dear Sir
I'm studying the code by using the exemples and modifying them but I have
some problems about boundary-conditions.
As regards exp0 I changed the topography and I fixed initial condition on
eta by pSurfInitFile. Eta at time=0 has linear variation only on x direction
(eta=a*x+b).Besides I imposed no_slip_sides and no_slip_bottom FALSE and
viscAh=0 and there are not external forces.
So I thought to obtain a free oscillation of the surface but it wasn't so:
there is a dissipation and the oscillation is dependent on the topography.
It's different if I use one or more walls (for expample h(:,end)=5 or on
other sides) at the boundaries and it changes with the position of the
walls.
I tried to understand the reason of the different behaviour but I couldn't
find why the way of oscillating changes and why its amplitude goes down if
there are not dissipation factors.
In exp0 ALLOW_OBCS is undef and is imposed h(:,end)=0 and h(end,:)=0.
Thanks in advance for helping me and I hope to have been clear enough.
