This solver interpolates data given on a regular 2D grid in an ASCII file (x y Value). A bilinear interpolation is used. The data in the ASCII file have to be ordered such that
x1 y1 val11 x2 y1 val21 ... xn y1 valn1 x1 y2 val12 ... xn yn valnn
The grid is described by giving:
WARNING: All data with values between (noData - tol) and (noData + tol) will be ignored (where noData and tol are the no data value and tolerance, see below). In the case a node fails in a cell of the DEM containing no data, the nodal value is assigned to the closest DEM value. This robust feature might be dangerous if too many nodes are outside of the DEM domain. The solver gives the number of nodes outside of the DEM domain and the farthest DEM point used to evaluate the nodal values.
Add this solver and execute it before the simulation. Here, it is used to read the surface DEM and the bedrock DEM given by the files DEM_TR_surf.dat and DEM_TR_bed.dat, respectively.
Solver 1 Exec Solver = Before Simulation Equation = "Read DEM" Procedure = "ElmerIceSolvers" "Grid2DInterpolator" Variable 1 = String "ZsDEM" Variable 1 data file = File "DEM_TR_surf.dat" Variable 1 x0 = REal 947700.0d0 Variable 1 y0 = REal 2104850.0d0 Variable 1 lx = REal 800.0 Variable 1 ly = REal 350.0 Variable 1 Nx = Integer 268 Variable 1 Ny = Integer 118 Variable 1 no data = Real -999.0 Variable 1 no data tol = Real 0.1 Variable 2 = String "bedrockDEM" Variable 2 data file = File "DEM_TR_bed.dat" Variable 2 x0 = REal 947700.0d0 Variable 2 y0 = REal 2104850.0d0 Variable 2 lx = REal 600.0 Variable 2 ly = REal 350.0 Variable 2 Nx = Integer 301 Variable 2 Ny = Integer 176 End
Note that the “no data” and “no data tol” keywords are optional for each variable. If these keywords are not given in the sif file the no data value defaults to -9999.0 and the tolerance to 0.001.
The variables bedrockDEM
and ZsDEM
have to exported from an other solver
Solver 3 Equation = "Navier-Stokes" Exported Variable 1 = -dofs 1 "ZsDEM" Exported Variable 2 = -dofs 1 "bedrockDEM" ... End
The variables bedrockDEM
and ZsDEM
can then be used to estimate the Bottom Surface
and Top Surface
keywords used by the StructuredMeshMapper solver (have a look here). Here, a minimum ice thickness of 1 meter is imposed.
! Bedrock BC Boundary Condition 2 Bottom Surface = Equals bedrockDEM ... End ! Upper Surface Boundary Condition 3 Top Surface = Variable ZsDEM, bedrockDEM Real MATC "if (tx(0)>tx(1)+1.0) {tx(0)} else {tx(1)+1.0}" End
An example using the Tete Rousse surface and bedrock DEM can be found in [ELMER_TRUNK]/elmerice/examples/Grid2DInterpolator
