ABSTRACT

This paper is devoted to testing the ability of various models to simulate particular hydrodynamic processes in rivers and flood plains in their complexity. Four simulation tools were applied in the reach of the Ohře river close to the village of Pisty in Northern Bohemia.

Two independent ID morphological models, NIMMPH (Dekker, 1989) and MIKE-11 (DHI, 1989), were applied for morphological investigation. A 2D hydrodynamic model FLUVIUS (Hydroinform, 1989) and 1+D model VEGA (CVUT 1992) were used to simulate velocity fields and stages in the dominion of interest.

The objective of the study was mainly to investigate the applicable limits of simpler tools for projects within the framework of revitalization. This paper presents results achieved by applied models and gives conclusions concerning their applicability under the given conditions and adopted aims.
