The Trinity River Delta Hydrodynamic Model (TDHM) was constructed under a contract with the Texas Water Development Board. It is designed to run at practical grid scales from 10x10 meters to 50x50 meters, using new approaches to handle subgrid features known at a 1x1 meter lidar scale. The dataset includes details on the underlying FrehdC model, numerical discretization methods, sensitivity analyses, and methods for a coupled surface-groundwater version.
Use Cases
- Simulating water flow and transport in the Trinity River Delta based on the described hydrodynamic model.
- Conducting sensitivity analyses of model outputs to boundary condition perturbations as discussed in the description.
- Planning sensor placement for field studies to validate hydrodynamic models, as recommended by the sensitivity analyses.
- Developing coupled surface-groundwater models for integrated water resource management, based on the methods presented.
Strengths
- Model is designed for high-resolution grid scales from 10x10 meters to 50x50 meters.
- Incorporates subgrid feature handling derived from 1x1 meter lidar data.
- Includes peer-reviewed journal papers as appendices, providing detailed methodological documentation.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Freshness should be verified; last metadata update was 2024-03-18 06:04:40.
