Last updated: 03 Mar, 2017

The wave model within EFDC uses a naming convention as follows:

  • No Wave Effects (ISWAVE=0)
  • External Linkage–Boundary Layer Only (ISWAVE=1, requires WAVEBL.INP and WV00N.INP, n=1, 2, 3… for version EE7.0, and uses a new format of WAVE.INP for EE7.1 and later. Refer to the EE7.2 guide and later for this format).
  • External Linkage–Boundary Layer and Currents (ISWAVE=2, requires the new format of WAVE.INP, the same input file as for ISWAVE=1)
  • Internally Generate Windwaves – Boundary Layer Only (ISWAVE=3) (EFDC+ only)
  • Internally Generate Windwaves – Boundary Layer and Currents (ISWAVE=4) (EFDC+ only)
