intro story Lake

Lake

Lakes and reservoirs are important resources for communities around the globe. They provide food, drinking and irrigation water and can also offer spots for recreation. Under certain conditions lakes can also represent a threat for local communities, such as flooding or limnic eruptions. The ecological state of shallow lakes may be hampered by suspended sediments due to wind driven currents and waves. In deep lakes, stratification can cause undesirable anoxic conditions in the deeper areas. Understanding these systems is crucial to enable a sound management of these water bodies.

 
Delft3D is the state-of-the-art modelling framework for hydrodynamics, water quality, ecology, waves and morphology.
 
Here, in this space, we share knowledge & experiences, and discuss issues related to modelling of lakes.

Adding bouys to Delft3D model

Can anyone please explain if it is possible to add water quality bouys in to this model? I am looking for an simulation environment that is easy to access using python or matlab.

Thanks,
Rajat

It is possible to add moving monitoring stations to your model. Look in the manual in chapter 5.4.11, or search for Moving Monitoring points.

If you want to trace how a floating bouy moves, you might want to consider out particle tracking model.
