Adaptation and verification of tree-dimentional numerical algorithm for computation of flows in shallow closed stratified reservoirs

The model GETM [1] has been adapted for calculation of flows in shallow closed stratified reservoirs. This program has been written for simulation of flows in seas and bays, but because of its versatility it allows to calculate the flow in various basins. It requires a corresponding adjustment of the model, as the simulation of specific object implies a choice of large set of parameters. GETM was used for the calculations in the North Sea [2], in the Baltic Sea [3], in Lake Alpnach (Switzerland) [4], for cooling ponds of Shaturskaya power station [5] and in many other water bodies [6].
