| '''Channel Initial Conditions'''
| |
| | |
| Channel initial conditions:
| |
| The test channel was modeled by establishing a grid parameterized with dx = 100 m , dy=100 m, f0 = 0, and h = 10 m (flat bottom). Initial conditions set a vertical logarithmic velocity profile for u (not required but provided reasonable starting values), v = 0, zeta (water surface height) = 0, SSC in the water column = 0, and bed thickness = 1 m (to provide unlimited supply). The model was forced with 2 methods :
| |
| | |
| —Simulation 1: Imposing a constant flow of 10 m³/s/m of width. This simulation allowed that water surface elevation to vary. Radiation boundary conditions were imposed for the water level along with a constant flow imposed by a depth averaged velocity ubar = 1.0 m/s at the upstream and downstream boundaries.
| |
| | |
| —Simulation 2: Imposing a constant bed slope and water surface slope of 4x10-5 m/m. This simulation forced the water surface elevation and hence the bottom stress. Radiation boundary conditions were imposed for the depth-averaged velocity along with a clamped water surface condition at each boundary. The bed slope of 4x10-5 was selected to produce a depth-averaged velocity of 1m/s (similar to simulation 1) with a Z0 = 0.005.
