wavy

A spectral ocean wave modeling framework.

Getting started

Building wavy

git clone --recursive https://github.com/wavebitscientific/wavy.git
FC=gfortran make
mkdir build
cd build
FC=gfortran cmake ..
make
ctest

Change the FC value if building with a different Fortran compiler.

By default, wavy will be built in single precision (32-bit reals). To build it in double (64-bit reals) or quadruple precision (128-bit reals), use the -DREAL argument when invoking cmake:

FC=gfortran cmake .. -DREAL=64 # for double precision

or:

FC=gfortran cmake .. -DREAL=128 # for quad precision

wavy needs gcc-6.3.0 or later to succesfully build and pass all tests.

Building a simple program with wavy

If you compiled wavy in wavy/build, then the module files and the library are located in wavy/build/include and wavy/build/lib, respectively. For example, if we want to build a simple wavy hello world program from the base directory, we could do it like this:

gfortran hello.f90 -o hello -Ibuild/include -Lbuild/lib -lwavy

Examples

Initialize a omnidirectional spectrum instance in the frequency range from 0.04 to 2 Hz with logarithmic increment of 1.1, in mean water depth of 1000 m:

use mod_spectrum,only:spectrum_type
type(spectrum_type) :: spec

! initialize a spectrum instance
spec = spectrum_type(fmin=0.04,fmax=2.,df=1.1,ndirs=1,depth=1000.)

Same as above, but directional spectrum with 36 directional bins:

spec = spectrum_type(fmin=0.04,fmax=2.,df=1.1,ndirs=36,depth=1000.)

Initialize omnidirectional spectrum with JONSWAP shape at wind speed of 10 m/s, and fetch of 100 km:

use mod_spectrum,only:spectrum_type
use mod_spectral_shapes,only:jonswap

type(spectrum_type) :: spec

! initialize a spectrum instance
spec = spectrum_type(fmin=0.04,fmax=2.,df=1.1,ndirs=1,depth=1000.)

! assign a JONSWAP-shape spectrum to the instance
spec = jonswap(spec % getFrequency(),wspd=10.,fetch=1e5,grav=9.8)

Above examples will work with default precision (REAL32). To write code that is always compatible with precision specified at build time, use mod_precision module:

use mod_precision,only:rk => realkind
use mod_spectrum,only:spectrum_type
use mod_spectral_shapes,only:jonswap

type(spectrum_type) :: spec

! initialize a spectrum instance
spec = spectrum_type(fmin=0.04_rk,fmax=2._rk,df=1.1_rk,ndirs=1,depth=1000._rk)

! assign a JONSWAP-shape spectrum to the instance
spec = jonswap(spec % getFrequency(),wspd=10._rk,fetch=1e5_rk,grav=9.8_rk)

There are many pre-built diagnostics that can be output from a spectrum instance, here is a taste of a few:

write(*,*)'Significant wave height [m]: ',spec % significantWaveHeight()
write(*,*)'       Mean wave period [s]: ',spec % meanPeriod()
write(*,*)'      Mean square slope [-]: ',spec % meanSquareSlope()
write(*,*)'         Stokes drift [m/s]: ',spec % stokesDrift([0._rk])

outputs:

 Significant wave height [m]:    2.13949418    
        Mean wave period [s]:    5.20506239    
       Mean square slope [-]:    2.39831898E-02
          Stokes drift [m/s]:    4.87080999E-02

Design principles

  • Pure Fortran goodness
  • Object-oriented for high-level abstractions, functional for the computational kernels
  • Framework to construct arbitrary wave models
  • Provides a rich set of source functions, parametric shapes, numerical schemes, and wave diagnostics
  • Easy to use by existing atmosphere and ocean models
  • Supports single (32-bit), double (64-bit), and quadruple (128-bit) precision floating point arithmetic
  • Self-documented
  • Fully unit-tested
