ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: Specifying reservoir operations as an a priori boundary condition complicates long term, predictive, sediment modeling because reservoir hydrology, hydraulics, and sedimentation interact in morphological simulations and each has feedbacks on structure operations. Determining future operations iteratively can be difficult and time consuming, particularly for multi-decadal or stochastic models. Automatically updating structure operations mid-simulation in response to intermediate model results improves the efficiency and accuracy of predictive reservoir sediment modeling.
