Influence on results

FLOW

Collect all current Z-model improvements in branches and merge them into the trunk(Delft3D-14744)

Crash when using Z-model and Domain Decomposition due to bed level administration beingmessed up by the adjacent subdomain (Delft3D-16245)

Merge three Sediment Transport Formulas into the trunk, proposed and prepared by NIWA(Delft3D-15196)

Distribute discharge at ’Total Discharge’ boundaries using the average water level along theopen boundary (new) rather than the local water level (old) (Delft3D-16060)

HLES viscosity is not taken into account when roller model is switched on (Delft3D-16029)

When using stationairy roller model, enable setdown for shoaling waves (Delft3D-15936)

Surfbeat/roller energy is building up at the outer side of drypoints/thin dams (Delft3D-15854)

Velocity profile is wrong when using waves in 3D (Delft3D-15690)

Routine INCBC computes distances from (x,y)-coordinates that should be from array guu,gvv, etc (Delft3D-15667)

"Smoothed peak wave period" is zero when running with WAVE online and using roller model(Delft3D-15775)

Temperature results will differ when using heat flux model 5 (Ocean model) and when a timezone shift unequal to zero is defined (Delft3D-15656)

Wall friction is not properly represented in sigma-layer. (Delft3D-16263)

Testcases 07.12-lockex and 25.06-noordzee_equidist give other results due to OpenDAchanges in revision 616 (Delft3D-15219)

WAQ

Default value for Rad_UV was considered too high. Because it is very place and time de-pendent, the default value was removed. It also became clear that the default value forfrUvVL of 0.45 was to high. The ratio between UV and visible light is usually about 0.12.This influences the results when this process is used, for example the tutorial in the manual.The new default value results in increased concentrations of bacteria. (Delft3D-14925)

MAKOOC process differs from manual description. Both code and description werechanged. (Delft3D-15651)

Correct the coefficients for various algae in the file BLOOM.SPE. (Delft3D-15332)

Set seed for grazer growth in CONSBL to realistic value. (Delft3D-16471)

PART

When running in parallel the result will differ with the results on one computational core. Thisis because in parallel each process willl use its own randomize function. (Delft3D-00000)
