Summary
This paper presents a real three-dimensional numerical model for the calculation of complex flow and transport phenomenas in reservoirs and lakes. The turbulent processes are simulated with the large-eddy technique. Finite elements of arbitrary shape and with unstructured mesh topology are used to approximate spatial operators. The model is verified by the calculation of a straight channel flow and the comparison with data from the literature. Additionally a physical model experiment is recalculated for the verification of the model in complex geometries. Furthermore a field validation is presented where an observed inflow of turbid water into a reservoir is recalculated. After this validation of the model the reaction of the reservoir to different wind conditions is examined.
