03 EFDC Model Overview

The CELL.inp file defines the type of each cell in the model grid. It shows that the grid is composed primarily of quadrilateral cells (represented by values of 5) with some triangular cells (represented by values of 9) around the edges of the domain. This file provides important information about the shape and layout of cells in the model grid.

EFDC Model

Training
Drew Ackerman, Cardno ENTRIX

September X, 2013
EFDC Model Background

• Solves the three-dimensional, vertically hydrostatic, free


surface, turbulent averaged equations of motions for a
variable density fluid
• Sigma coordinates and Cartesian or curvilinear, orthogonal
grid
• Assumes incompressible flow and hydrostatic pressure
distribution with dynamically coupled salinity and temperature
transport

Percentiles for the top two


layers, middle two layers,
and bottom two layers are
calculated in the

Additional Model Post
Processing
Advanced Model Post Processing

• Requires model user to write post processing code


• FORTRAN, C++, BASIC, Python, Matlab
• Will require more knowledge of model output structure than
has been presented here
Issues with direct linkage to the
OASIS model
Constraints to Linking the LTPR Model to the OASIS
Model
• LTPR model has been set up for four specific years
• Headwater flows, open boundary condition, atmospheric
conditions, withdrawals, and discharges
• OASIS model is a time-series model developed for a longer
period
• Changes to the LTPR model must be hard wired into input
files
• Cannot read output files from OASIS directly
• Running additional years with the LTPR model will require
reconfiguring the model boundary and forcing files
