Delft3D-WAVE stops unexpectedly

Youngling Posts: 7 Join Date: 1/1/13 Recent Posts

Hello!

I am running a coupled WAVE-FLOW model on nested grids using Domain Decomposition. I have been able to run this particular set-up (using four nested grids of varying resolution) successfully. However, recently I changed the WAVE boundary conditions (simple 3 parameter TPAR files, just changed the dates and some of the wave values) and the corresponding dates in the FLOW files, only to discover that the model now quits during WAVE computations at seemingly random times.

I get the error:

*** ERROR: file 'norm_end' expected to signal a correct SWAN calculation

The system cannot find the file specified.
The system cannot find the file specified.
The system cannot find the file specified.

Right before the model is about to compute wave conditions on the smallest grid. I am not sure what is wrong -- this happens somethings halfway through a run, sometimes only 1/3 of the way, and so on.

Any help on interpreting this error would be very appreciated!

Sincerely,

Julia

Hello all,
I'm getting an error similar to the one on the initial post. Julian and Ruairi, did you solve this issue?
I am running a coupled flow-wave model, the wave model consists of 3 nested grids and the finest grid maps onto the flow grid. The coarse wave model has spectra wave input and meteo files for uv-wind and air pressure. No Err file is produced but the model exits with the message below after three hours (same model setup with inputs for a different month of the year result in the same error, but it runs for longer). It also has ****** in the hotfile, so I presume its a similar error to yours.

Thanks,Chloe
