Calibration and Verification of a 2D Hydrodynamic Model for Simulating Flow around Emergent Bendway Weir Structures

The predictive capability of a two-dimensional (2D)-hydrodynamic model, the finite-element surface water modeling system (FESWMS), to describe adequately the flow characteristics around emergent bendway weir structures was evaluated. To examine FESWMS predictive capability, a sensitivity analysis was performed to identify the flow conditions and locations within the modeled reach, where FESWMS inputs for Manning’s n and eddy viscosity must be spatially distributed for to better represent the river bed flow roughness characteristics and regions where the flow is highly turbulent in nature. The sensitivity analysis showed that high flow conditions masked the impact of Manning’s n and eddy viscosity on the model outputs. Therefore, the model was calibrated under low flow conditions when the structures were emergent and had the largest impact on the flow pattern and model inputs. Detailed field measurements were performed under low flow conditions at the Raccoon River, Iowa for model calibration and verificat...
