Representation of Hydrodynamic Model Results through Graphical Displays
Figure 1. A traditional black and white velocity vector plot that provides a qualitative picture of the entire system, but not specific causal relationships between flows and bathymetry
Figure 4. A false-color bathymetry filled contour plot with velocity vector overlay plot (units in ft) that illustrates causal relationships between velocity and bathymetry
Figure 5. An isovel-filled contour plot with velocity vector overlay (units in ft/s) that provides quantitative nformation over the entire area of interest (Velocity is in feet per second. To convert to meters per second, multiply by 0.3048)
SURFACEWATER MODELING SYSTEM (SMS) FUNCTIONALITY
PRESENTATION OF OUTPUT
Figure 7. Velocity vector plot overlaid on contours of bathymetry (units in ft) (To convert feet to meters, multiply by 0.3048)
Figure 9. Velocity vector plot overlaid on contours of velocity magnitude (units in ft/s) (To convert feet to meters, multiply by 0.3048)
MANIPULATION OF OUTPUT
Figure 11. Velocity vector difference plot overlaid on contours of velocity magnitude difference (units in ft/s) to evaluate proposed reorientation of the spur jetty (To convert feet per second to meters per second, multiply by 0.3048)
Sediment Transport
Figure 12. Contours of shear stress overlaid with shear stress vectors (units in lbs/ft )
Sediment Transport (cont.)
Figure 13. Contours of sediment transport overlaid with sediment transport vectors (units in ft /s/ft) (To convert cubic feet per second to cubic meters per second, multiply by 0.02831685)
