Hydrodynamic modeling

Hydrodynamic modeling involves simulating the temporally-resolved mixing and fluxes of various scalars that are important to water researches or managers. These scalars include heat, dissolved constituents (including ions and dissolved organic carbon), particulate matter, and others. Hydrodynamic models can take the form of resolved layers, grids, cubes, etc in 0, 1, 2, or 3 dimensions (0D, 1D, 2D, or 3D). For example, most 1D models (e.g., GLM) are built using a vertically resolved layer structure, while 0D models simulate a single water volume which evolves over time.
