The definition of the current using simple numerical models.

  • CurrentType: string = Currents
  • ReferenceHeight: number (m)
  • Inclination: number (rad)
  • Direction: number (rad)
  • DirectionVariation: object (a type of CurrentDirectionVariation)
  • NearSurfaceCurrent: object (NearSurfaceCurrent)
  • SubSurfaceCurrent: object (SubSurfaceCurrent)
  • NearShoreCurrent: object (NearShoreCurrent)

A type of Current

Properties

ReferenceHeight: number (m), optionalcoming soon

The reference height for the current field, above which the free-field current conditions take over. If this is omitted, the hub height will be used, and if there is more than one the highest hub height.

Inclination: number (rad), optionalcoming soon

The inclination of the flow relative to the horizontal plane.

default = 0.0

Direction: number (rad), optionalcoming soon

The (constant) direction of the current relative to the global X axis.

DirectionVariation: object (a type of CurrentDirectionVariation), optional coming soon

A defined variation in the current's direction.

Can be any of the following types:

CurrentType: stringcoming soon

Defines the specific type of Current model in use. For a Currents object, this must always be set to a value of Currents.

NearSurfaceCurrent: object(NearSurfaceCurrent), optionalcoming soon

The definition of a current whose strength decreases linearly with depth.

SubSurfaceCurrent: object(SubSurfaceCurrent), optionalcoming soon

The definition of a current whose strength depends on height above the sea bed according to a power law or a user defined relationship.

NearShoreCurrent: object(NearShoreCurrent), optionalcoming soon

The definition of a current which is constant with depth.
