Short Description of Functionality

The three-dimensional finite difference numerical model TRIM-3D can be used to simulate flow and transport processes in different free-surface flow problems. The following list of physical processes are taken into account by TRIM-3D:

Reynolds-Equations (time-averaged Navier-Stokes-Equations)

local acceleration (inertia)
advective acceleration
Coriolis acceleration
barotropic pressure gradient
baroclinic pressure gradient
hydrostatic or non-hydrostatic pressure
turbulent diffusion in horizontal directions
vertical turbulent viscosity influenced by density stratification
bottom friction
wind friction
time-varying height of control-structures (weirs)

advection-diffusion equation

local rate of change of concentration
advctive rate of change of concentration
turbulent diffusion in horizontal directions
vertical turbulent diffusivity influenced by density stratification

Horizontal turbulent diffusion is parameterized using constant coefficients.

With the aid of the numerical model TRIM-3D the following physical quantities can be calculated:

free surface elevation
current velocity
salinity
vertical turbulent eddy-viscosity
vertical turbulent eddy-diffusivity
hydrodynamic pressure
water density
bottom shear stress
wind shear stress

A comprehensive description of TRIM-3D in the form of a standard validation document is unfortunately not available at the moment.
