ERDC/CHL CETN-IV-27
September 2000
CONCLUSIONS: This CETN has presented several methods for improving the diagnostic
capabilities of plots created from hydrodynamic output with the SMS platform. These
visualization methods included techniques for viewing the default output as well as methods for
manipulating the output to gain insight into modification of flow through engineered
modifications and into the sediment transport driven by the flow.
