Appendix J — ADCF Commands

The TUFLOW Advection Dispersion Control File (.adcf) contains commands related to the TUFLOW Advection Dispersion (AD) Module for simulating depth-averaged, constituent fate and transport. It is read into the .tcf using the AD Control File command. For more information on the .tesf see Section 4.1.14. The Advection Dispersion module is discussed in Chapter 9. The available ADCF commands are listed below. For an explanation of the command syntax, see Commands.

J.1 ADCF Commands

AD BC Database == <file>

Status: Required
Solver: Classic and HPC

A pointer to a file containing boundary database information (e.g. names of boundary files as mapped to GIS datasets read by TUFLOW). See Section 9.4.4.

AD Global Database == <file>

Status: Required
Solver: Classic and HPC

A pointer to a file containing constituent information (e.g. name and dispersion coefficients). See Section 9.4.3.

Write CFL == ON | {OFF}

Status: Optional
Solver: Classic Only

If set to ON, generates a _ADcfl.csv output file with commentary on CFL and Peclet numbers, maximum dispersion coefficients and number of sub-step iterations. See Section 9.5.1.2.

Write Iterations == ON | {OFF}

Status: Optional
Solver: Classic Only

If set to ON, shows information regarding the simulation time for each constituent. In particular, the number of AD sub-steps needed to be executed to maintain stability under CFL and Peclet conditions is reported. Additional rows are added as required by the number of constituents simulated. See Section 9.3.4.

Write Mass == ON | {OFF}

Status: Optional
Solver: Classic and HPC

If set to ON, generates a mass conservation commentary output file. See Section 9.5.1.3.

Write Mass Unit == Kg (or Kilogram) | {Tonne} | Gram

Status: Optional
Solver: Classic and HPC

Sets the unit for the mass output file if Write Mass is set to ON. See Section 9.5.1.3.
