Numerical Modeling

We developed and tested a three dimensional, finite-difference numerical model, using extensive flow measurement observations previously obtained in 1997 downstream of the Hugh A. Keenleyside Dam. The 3-D model was successful in realizing the main flow pattern as well as a complex structure of four eddies, although two of the weaker eddies were somewhat weaker in magnitude than was observed.

Previously, at the time the observations were made, a 2-D numerical model was not able to replicate three of the four eddies. Moreover, the new 3-D numerical model provides good measures of the changes in water flows from surface to near-bottom, which cannot be addressed with 2-D numerical models.
