Abstract

This paper presents an application of a numerical model that is designed for the simulation of complex flow and transport phenomenas in lakes and reservoirs. The model is taking the main influence factors like wind, temperature, coriolis forces and the momentum introduced by the in- and outflow into account. The numerical approach is based on the finite element method which allows highly accurate spatial discretizations of natural geometries. The turbulent flow and transport processes are calculated on a fine grid using a large-eddy model. One test case is presented where an observed inflow of turbid water into a reservoir is recalculated. After this validation of the model the r
