Hi all, I'm kind of new to the PT module and was wondering what would be the best way to analyze an accidental dump of, for example, 1 cu.m. of silt?  I don't think it would be technically feasible to actually model the actual number of silt particles in 1 cu.m. as it would result in way too many particles. 

To estimate the actual concentration, would it be better to input the Mass as "Total Emitted Amount" and then just have a high number of particles?

What boundary conditions did you include?

Are you applying a flather condition to your boundary or just water levels?

What module are you running?

Hi guys,

I'm new at trying out BW and I'd be pulling my hair out if it were long enough.  I've been trying to add a porosity layer and I have followed the steps in the Step by Step manual, but it keeps throwing the following error:

[size=8pt][font=courier] Axis  Sets  Interval  Axis origin  Unit
    1  1100          2            0  meter
    2  1350          2            0  meter

  Item name            Item type              Minimum    Maximum Missing Unit
  Porosity            Porosity Coefficient        0.6        10      0 ()

I've compared my dfs2 file with the Kirkwall samples and it looks the same so I can't figure out what's going on.  Could anybody provide some insight on this? I've uploaded my dfs2 file in a zip file for reference.

Good morning; wow that was actually quite simple! I didn't think of trying it that way. Thanks!

Hi guys, I'm kind of new to plot composer and I have a pretty simple question.  For a given plot object, how can I change the Plot Area?  To simplify the explanation, I've attached a figure. The Plot Object is tall and narrow, but the actual plot area is still short and wide, which I want to change. Is there an easy way to do this, or would I have to edit the .plc file in notepad?

Thanks in advance!

Good evening Christian,

Ah so I was correct that there is no built-in thing for this.  Thanks for the input!

Good morning everybody,

I've been trying to find this on the web but I can't get any good results so I'm sorry if it's a pretty simple answer.  Is there a way to get the statistically maximum/minimum current speed from a dfsu file BUT with the corresponding direction still attached?  When I do the simple Compute Statistics from the Data Manager for the speed, it decouples from the vector direction so it always just gives me a current going due north.
