Developments in LARM2: A Longitudinal-Vertical, Time-Varying Hydrodynamic Reservoir Model.

Abstract

A two-dimensional, laterally averaged reservoir hydrodynamic model, LARM, was modified to provide several enhancements. The two major enhancements made to the numerical model were the incorporation of a water quality transport module (WQTM) and the capability to add or delete upstream longitudinal segments during flooding or drawdown. WQTM is a general-purpose transport algorithm for which the user must specify the water quality constituents and the constituent internal sources and sinks with the associated reaction rates. Included within the report are discussion of previous LARM applications and recommendations for future development. The version of the LARM code that resulted from this effort is referred to as LARM2. In addition to the developments reported herein, there is a user guide for LARM2 entitled 'User Guide for LARM2: A Longitudinal-Vertical, Time-Varying Hydrodynamic Reservoir Model' (Buchak and Edinger, 1981).
