Output Files 



INLET ■ OUT 



120. The file INLET. OUT is the main output file for DYNLETl . This file 

 contains an echo of the primary input data, computed values of the volume flow 

 rate, water surface elevation, and average velocity at the designated nodes at 

 the specified times. Additional output files are generated, which in turn 

 become input files for auxiliary programs (Figure 6) . 



CHANNEL.DAT 



121. This file contains values of distance (stations) and elevations at 

 all cross sections, values of the friction factor at each station, and values 

 of discharge and water surface elevation at nodes specified in PARAM.DAT. 

 These data are processed by the auxiliary program CHANNEL to determine point- 

 by-point velocities across the channel and display the cross sections on the 

 monitor. The file is also used by the program CHANPRN to output graphs of 

 desired cross sections on a printer. 



SUMMARY . OUT 



122. This file contains relative values of convective acceleration, 

 temporal acceleration, and pressure gradient at nodes. All values are normal- 

 ized with respect to the bottom stress so that the strengths of the terms 

 relative to that of the friction term can be evaluated. 



QPLOT . DAT 



123. This file contains the volume flow rate (discharge) as a function 

 of time at the nodes specified in PARAM.DAT. The file is used by: 



a. Program QPLOT to make graphic displays comparing the computed 

 discharge with the measured discharge. 



b. Program QPRN to send graphs of the discharge on a printer. 



c. Program VPAS to make graphic displays comparing the computed 

 output of velocity at gaging stations with measured 

 velocities . 



d. Program VPRN to output graphs of velocity on a printer. 



TIDE . DAT 



124. This file contains the calculated water surface elevation as a 

 function of time at the nodes specified in PARAM.DAT. The file is used by 

 program HPAS to make graphic displays comparing the computed output of water
