{"product_id":"2940014432764","title":"Augmenting Two-Dimensional Hydrodynamic Simulations with Measured Velocity Data to Identify Flow Paths as a Function of Depth on Upper St. Clair River in the Great Lakes Basin","description":"Upper St. Clair River, which receives outflow from Lake Huron, is characterized by flow velocities that exceed 7 feet per\u003cbr\u003esecond and significant channel curvature that creates complex flow patterns downstream from the Blue Water Bridge in the\u003cbr\u003ePort Huron, Michigan, and Sarnia, Ontario, area. Discrepancies were detected between depth-averaged velocities previously\u003cbr\u003esimulated by a two-dimensional (2D) hydrodynamic model and surface velocities determined from drifting buoy deployments.\u003cbr\u003eA detailed ADCP (acoustic Doppler current profiler) survey was done on Upper St. Clair River during July 1–3, 2003, to help\u003cbr\u003eresolve these discrepancies.\u003cbr\u003eAs part of this study, a refined finite-element mesh of the hydrodynamic model used to identify source areas to public water\u003cbr\u003eintakes was developed for Upper St. Clair River. In addition, a numerical procedure was used to account for radial accelerations,\u003cbr\u003ewhich cause secondary flow patterns near channel bends. The refined model was recalibrated to better reproduce local velocities\u003cbr\u003emeasured in the ADCP survey. ADCP data also were used to help resolve the remaining discrepancies between simulated and\u003cbr\u003emeasured velocities and to describe variations in velocity with depth.","brand":"The Delano Max Wealth Institute, LLC.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47146124706032,"sku":"2940014432764","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014432764_p0.jpg?v=1763608725","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014432764","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
