Water Operations Technical Support. Volume E-94-1. CE-QUAL-W2, Version 2.0
Abstract
CE-QUAL-W is a two-dimensional, longitudinal/vertical, hydrodynamic, and Water quality model developed for rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and estuaries. Version 2.0 incorporates many improvements and new capabilities. The newest release has the following capabilities: water surface elevations, longitudinal and vertical velocities, temperature, and up to 21 water quality constituents can be simulated; Multiple branches; head and/or flow boundary conditions; multiple inflows/outflows (tributaries, point/nonpoint sources, releases, withdrawals); layer/segment addition and subtraction (wetting and drying); restart capabilities; variable segment lengths and layer thicknesses; variable time-step calculated internally by the model; selective withdrawal; higher-order accurate transport scheme; internal calculations of equilibrium temperatures and coefficients of surface heat exchange; heat exchange between the water/sediment interface; linear interpolation of inputs; volume and mass balances to machine accuracy; improved ice cover algorithm; additional improvements have also been incorporated
