Activate the Wave Module

The Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the Wave module in EE can be activated from the EFDC+ Modules, as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1.  Active Wave Modules.



After turning on the wave module in the Model Control GUI, an LMC on the waves menu will show a report of the current wave settings as shown in Figure 2.  There are two major options for waves:

Visualize Wave

2DHView

The wave parameters can be visualized and animated in 2DH View. These can be added to the 2DH View by clicking the Add button in the 2DH View’s Layer Control then select Primary Group: Wave Parameters and the Parameters are available including Wave Height, Wave Period, Wave Direction, Wave Length, Wave Vector and Wave Cell as shown in Figure 3.

Time Series

The graphic of wave time series can be visualized by click the Time Series button or the icon  of the main toolbar. The Extract Time Series Data tab appears as shown in Figure 4. It is possible to plot the time series for a single cell or multiple cells. Firstly, defying the cells to plots is in the box under Selected Cells. When the L index is entered the corresponding I and J indices are filled automatically. The parameter should be defined in the box, Primary Group: Wave Parameters. Add and remove the parameter can be adjust by the left and right arrow button. The user may define the start and stop day for the time series in Time Series Start/Stop frame (note that the start and stop days should be within the model's start and end date). Clicking OK plots the selected graphs

Longitudinal Profiles

The graphic of wave longitudinal profiles can be visualized by click the Longitudinal Profile button or the icon  of the main toolbar.  Figure 6 show the Data Extraction for Longitudinal Profile form. This form is similar to the Data Extraction for 2DV View form. Firstly, it is necessary to define the profile using drape file or I, J indices and then defines the parameter to the plot. The parameter should be defined in the box, Primary Group: Wave Parameters . Add and remove the parameter can be adjust by the left and right arrow.  Once everything is ready, click OK to generate the plot. Figure 7 shows a longitudinal profile for wave height and bottom elevation along the profile I=56
