Model description
Model objective Simulate temperature stratification in lakes and reservoirs
Specific application - Lake destratification (Schladow 1993)
- Introduction of new mixing algorithm (benthic boundary layer) (Yeates & Imberger 2003)
- Simulate thermal structure in Lake Kinneret, validation of code re-write (Gal et al. 2003)
- Comparison of one-dimensional hydrodynamic models (Perroud et al., 2009)
- Simulation of meromictic lakes, coupling with geochemical model CORE (Moreira et al. 2011)
Background knowledge needed to run model - Knowledge on physical processes in lakes
- some programing language to handle input/output files, e.g., R, python or Matlab
Basic procedures 1. Prepare the input files (bathymetry, meteorology, inflow, outflow, initial profile)
2. Set the simulation settings (simulation start, min/max layer thickness, etc.)
3. Run the dycd.exe
4. Compare results with measurements
5. (optional: Adapt parameters, e.g. mixing parameters, layer thickness, extinction coefficient)
DYRESM is a one-dimensional hydrodynamic model that was developed to simulate temperature stratification in lakes and reservoirs. It has been applied to many lakes and reservoirs across the globe and served for management purposes.
DYRESM can be coupled with the biogeochemical model CAEDYM.
It is possible to include artificial mixing into the simulation.
