Prism Mesh V1b This mesh is translated to zero coordinate: define XTRANS 360600. define YTRANS 3973000. This fixes negative volumes by flipping triangluated surface up. Also modified top material 1 to have 2 cells instead of 3. Unstructured stacked prism Mesh River 1 meter wide (same elev across river elements) River buffer 1 meter wide The River node elevations are interpolated from a center line DEM Triangulation from .5 to 60 meters away from river This is a first iteration triangulation using nicely formed polygons. Improvements on the triangulation will be based on the model results. Issues to look at: Are the river faces oriented correctly for flow? Is the river positioned within the topology correctly for flow? What is the effect of river 1 cell wide, impact where there are more? The triangulation can be improved: Use smarter refinement to reduce the total number of elements. remove fan effects along parts of the river break triangles inside branch intersects improve smooth transition from small 1 meter cells near river to the 60 meter at boundary improve triangulation along boundary to avoid mesh effects See if triangulation of river can be improved to ensure single cells across width. Consider different river strategy, such as dropping elevation at river.
