User Guide for WIFM-SAL (WES Implicit Flooding Model-SAL): A Two-Dimensional Vertically Integrated, Time-Varying Estuarine Transport Model.
Abstract
WIFM-SAL is preliminary to the development of comprehensive water quality mathematical models that may be used to assist in the analysis of water quality problems in shallow estuaries and embayments which may be considered vertically well mixed. The model is two dimensional in the horizontal and generates time-varying water surface elevations, velocities, and constituent fields over a space staggered grid. Units of measure are expressed in the English system (slug-ft-second). Results computed on a global grid may be employed as boundary conditions on a more spatially limited refined grid concentrated around the area of interest. In addition, the user may select either of two distinct transport schemes. Scheme 1 is a flux-corrected transport scheme capable of resolving sharp fronts without oscillation. Scheme 2 is a full, three time level scheme directly compatible with three level hydrodynamics. The telescoping grid capability in conjunction with the user selectable constituent transport scheme is an extremely powerful concept in real world transport problem solving.
