Option 1: Universal assignment of all node number.
2
VMIN
+
Coefficient to describe the vertical velocity distribution at externally
V=VAVE*(VMIN+(1.0-VMIN)*(POWER+1)*Z/H**POWER),
where VAVE (ft/sec) is the average velocity, Z(feet) is the elevation
above the bottom, and H(feet) is the depth.
3
POWER
+
Described for VMIN.
4
UMIN
+
Coefficient to describe the vertical velocity distribution at a 2D/3D
interface. Used in the expression:
U=UAVE*(UMIN+(1.0-UMIN)*(PWERIN+1)*Z/H**PWERIN)
,where UAVE (ft/sec) is the average velocity, Z(feet) is the elevation
above the bottom, and H(feet) is the depth.
5
PWERIN
+
Described for UMIN
6
CMIN
+
Coefficients used to describe the salinity-temperature-suspended
sediment distribution at a 2D/3D transition. Used in the expression:
C=CAVE*(CMIN+(1.0-CMIN)*(CPR+1)*Z/H**CPR) where Z(feet)
is the elevation above the bottom, and H(feet) is the depth.
7
CPR
+
Describe for CMIN.
NOTE: Units are based upon SI card designation.
Note : if the ND card is omitted, U = UAVE, V = VAVE, and C = CAVE at every point in the water column at the
boundary or interface.
