I'm attempting to resolve this issue by adjusting the bottomdragliner coefficient, which was previously set to 0.002. When it increases to 0.006, the model blows up and writes NaNs. For 0.005, the model may run, but the velocities are not reduced as expected, and less variance is recognised. Currently, the maximum channel flow was 1.25m/s; after modifying to 0.005, it was 1.21m/s redused. and I experimented with ViscAh from 10 to 100, but no substantial difference was seen. Can someone advise how to solve this?</span> <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Best Regards<font color="#888888"><br>Killampalli Rajesh</font><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, May 8, 2024 at 6:56 PM Killampalli Rajesh <<a href="mailto:rajesh70530@gmail.com">rajesh70530@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Dear MITgcm community <br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Thank you for your assistance; I'm modelling tidal circulation in the lagoon, which is connected to the coastal seas.The research region includes lagoon and coastal waterways. The boundary conditions include baroclinic tidal currents at open boundaries in data.obcs, OBEam, and OBEph only on the eastern border, and OBCS_Tides specified in the model. The model results is verified using tidal heights with the tide gauge data, however the tidal currents are exaggerated. In example, the model findings suggest extremely strong tidal currents at the mouth/channel, which contradicts reality.</div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>Best Regards<br>Killampalli Rajesh<br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div></div></div></div></div>
