This dataset contains hydrodynamic metrics from particle tracking simulations for two sub-reaches of the Upper Missouri River near Wolf Point, MT. The upstream reach is referred to as the “upper” reach while the downstream reach is referred to as the “lower” reach. Simulations were performed for 16 flows in the range of 185-635 cms at increments of 30 cms.

This dataset contains supporting files for particle tracking simulations of the Upper Missouri River near Wolf Point, MT.

This dataset contains retention and transport time metrics from particle tracking simulations for two sub-reaches of the Upper Missouri River near Wolf Point, MT. The upstream reach is referred to as the “upper” reach while the downstream reach is referred to as the “lower” reach. Simulations were performed for 16 flows in the range of 185-635 cubic meters per second (cms) at increments of 30 cms. Simulations were performed in each reach for all 16 flows for a combination of 1 of 3 vertical movement methods (passive, active60pct, and active75pct)* and 1 of 3 lateral eddy viscosity (LEV) scenarios (0.5, 1, and 2 times the base value, referred to as LEVx0p5, LEVx1, or LEVx2, respectively), resulting in 288 total simulations. *passive =vertical movement determined by random walk; active60pct = vertical movement modeled as sine wave constrained to 60% of flow depth; active75pct = vertical movement modeled as sine wave constrained to 75% of flow depth

This dataset contains two subsets of animations corresponding to particle tracking simulations of the Upper Missouri River near Wolf Point, MT comparing larval transport through the upper and lower sub-reaches of the larger model reach. Animations do not contain audio and depict particles moving from the top of the reach (left side) to the bottom of the reach (right side). A total of 96 animations are included corresponding to a combination of 1 of both reaches (upper or lower), 1 of 16 discharges (185-635 cms, at increments of 30 cms), and 1 of 3 vertical movement methods (active60pct, active75pct, or passive).

This dataset contains two- and quasi-three-dimensional hydrodynamic model outputs from the Flow and Sediment Transport with Morphologic Evolution of CHannels (FaSTMECH) hydrodynamic model in the open-source binary Visualization Toolkit (VTK) format (https://vtk.org/). The simulations were run at flows in the range of 185-635 cms at increments of 30 cms. This set of flow conditions pertains to the base lateral eddy viscosity scenario referred to as LEVx1 in Call et al., 2023.

This dataset contains two- and quasi-three-dimensional hydrodynamic model outputs from the Flow and Sediment Transport with Morphologic Evolution of CHannels (FaSTMECH) hydrodynamic model in the open source binary Visualization Toolkit (VTK) format (https://vtk.org/). The simulations were run at 348 cms as measured on July 1, 2019, during a larval drift experiment conducted on the Upper Missouri River near Wolf Point, MT. Three different variations of the model were run at multiples of 0.5, 1, and 2 times the calculated lateral eddy viscosity (LEV) value to account for uncertainty in this parameter. These are labeled as LEVx0p5, LEVx1, and LEVx2 respectively. Files can be opened using the open-source software program Paraview: (https://www.paraview.org/).
