Augmenting Two-Dimensional Hydrodynamic Simulations with Measured Velocity Data to Identify Flow Paths as a Function of Depth on Upper St. Clair River in the Great Lakes Basin
Upper St. Clair River, which receives outflow from Lake Huron, is characterized by flow velocities that exceed 7 feet per
second and significant channel curvature that creates complex flow patterns downstream from the Blue Water Bridge in the
Port Huron, Michigan, and Sarnia, Ontario, area. Discrepancies were detected between depth-averaged velocities previously
simulated by a two-dimensional (2D) hydrodynamic model and surface velocities determined from drifting buoy deployments.
A detailed ADCP (acoustic Doppler current profiler) survey was done on Upper St. Clair River during July 1–3, 2003, to help
resolve these discrepancies.
As part of this study, a refined finite-element mesh of the hydrodynamic model used to identify source areas to public water
intakes was developed for Upper St. Clair River. In addition, a numerical procedure was used to account for radial accelerations,
which cause secondary flow patterns near channel bends. The refined model was recalibrated to better reproduce local velocities
measured in the ADCP survey. ADCP data also were used to help resolve the remaining discrepancies between simulated and
measured velocities and to describe variations in velocity with depth.
