Cartesian Grid Module
The 2D Cartesian Grid Module contains tools used to construct 2D Cartesian finite difference grids. These grids consist of cells aligned with a rectilinear coordinate system.
- Used to create, edit, and visualize recctangular grids
- Datasets can have values at cells, corners, and midsides
Some models limit the grid to be defined with square cells, others limit to constant sized rectangular cells, while others add the flexibility of having variable sizes to the cells (variable row height or column width.
It is strongly recommended that grids be created through the Map Module. The grid module currently includes interfaces for:
- BOUSS-2D - phase resolving Boussinesq wave energy and circulation model
- CMS-Flow - hydrodynamic circulation specifically adapted for coastal zone
- CMS-Wave - wave energy model
- STWAVE - wave energy model
- TUFLOW - Coastal, Riverine, and Urban hydrodynamic model with emphasis in flooding applications
