EFDC_Explorer and the Future of Hydropower
The U.S. Department of Energy has the answer with its recently released forecast and roadmap for hydropower from the present to the year 2050. Among the findings, researchers….
Lake Washington Sigma-Zed Application
Lake Washington is second largest natural lake in the State of Washington, USA. It is lake with steeply sloping sides and also has long-term, high quality vertical temperature records. This makes it an ideal case to test the Sigma-Zed layering approach. DSI developed a hydrodynamic model of this water body with 1,183 cells and 55 layers to assess the accuracy for prediction of the epilimnion and hypolimnion.
Sigma-Zed Model in EFDC+
DSI has developed an improved version of the EFDC code to help deal with pressure gradient errors that occur in simulations that have steep changes in bed elevation….
Lake Mead Sigma-Zed Application
Lake Mead is the largest reservoir in the USA, and 16th largest man-made lake in the world. Lake Mead is formed by the Hoover Dam along the Colorado River. EFDC modeling studies have indicated that water level drawdown plays an important role in thermal stratification and water movement of Lake Mead during receding water levels (Li, 2010).
