Set-up and input dataset files of the Delft3d model for hydrodynamic modelling considering wind, waves, tides and currents through multidomain grids.

ABSTRACT: This article contains the set-up and input files of the implementation of Delft3D model to determine extreme hydrodynamic forces performed in Rueda-Bayona et al. [1]. The model was configured with a multidomain grid using double-way communication between the hydrodynamic and wave module. The multidomain grids solve faster than single and nested grids because require less grid points to calculate. Also, the double-way communication between the hydrodynamic and wave modules allows to consider the non-linear interactions of wind, waves, tides and currents. Because there are no modelling examples related to multidomain grids in the open access official web site of Delft3d model, this data contributes to increase the availability information of this necessity. Finally, the files of this article are ready to be run in the Delft3D model to perform a sensitivity test recommended in Rueda-Bayona et al. [1].
