6. Now you are ready to set up up your Boussinesq model run; open MIKE
Zero New MIKE 21 Boussinesq Waves. It is recommend using
the default values in the dialogs in your first model run. If you have
decided to include the deep water terms during your model setup (i.e.
allowance of shorter waves) then the deep water terms should of course
be included in the “Type of Equation” dialog. Regarding specification of
output parameters it is recommended to save maps (dfs2 files) and time
series (dfs0 files) of both deterministic parameters (e.g. the surface ele-
vation) and phase-averaged parameters (e.g. the significant and maxi-
mum wave height). For harbour agitation studies also maps of the wave
disturbance coefficient should be saved.
7. It is recommended to view the results during the model run to make sure
everything is as expected. This can be made directly from the editor by
clicking on the “View” button, which automatically opens an editor for
viewing the model results.
8. After the simulation you can use various visualization tools included in
MIKE Zero for result presentation. Use e.g. the Plot Composer Grid
Plot for creation of plots and 2D animations of wave disturbance coeffi-
cient and instantaneous surface elevation. For 3D visualization MIKE
Animator Plus is recommended (license required).
9. Additional analysis (of both dfs0 and dfs2 data) including spectral, direc-
tional, filtering or crossing analysis of the model output can be made
using the WS Wave Analysis Tool in MIKE Zero (license required).
