Abstract:

This book provides an overview of considerations that apply to modeling flow and transport in lakes, reservoirs, and impoundments using equations based on conservation principles. Specific topics include basic hydrodynamic equations for lakes, basic equations for pollutant and heat trransports in lakes, turbulent mixing processes, models for pollutant transformation processes, and finite difference models for hydrodynamics of lakes and shallow seas. Documentation is provided for the Round Valley Reservoir multi-component phosphorus model. Documentation of a two-dimensional x-y model package for computing lake circulation and pollutant transports is also provided. The main intent of the volume is to present state-of-the-art universal physical considerations that must go into any modeling study of lakes. Algorithms, typical simulations, and a few simple codes are presented.
