Coupled ROMS SWAN stops with 'blow up' but output looks fine

#1 Unread post by robjenkinsiii »

Hi All,

I've been working with a coupled ROMS/SWAN application. I had initially tested the application for over a 1 month period forcing ROMS with river, tide, and wind while forcing SWAN with wind at 2hr intervals. This worked fine on 6,12, & 24 cpu's for each model.

I recently moved on to extending the simulation to a 4 year period, and increasing SWAN wind forcing to hourly intervals. The model runs but ROMS quits after 1.5 months stating that the model is blowing up. What's curious to me is that ROMS output looks healthy, as does SWAN, although, throughout, the SWAN does report warnings for the wave height at the boundary being >10% different than the imposed.

Looking in the forum, I found this post. I thought it could be related to my issue, however, I have set SWAN to write output to .mat files.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
