  Description:
    Abstract:
      A depth-integrated finite-element model (RMA-2V) was applied on a
      section of the Upper Mississippi River to study the hydraulic
      characteristics of the floodplain-river system. The area that has
      been modeled is called `Montrose Flats.` Aquatic vegetation is
      abundant at this location, and the flow structure needs to be
      evaluated in order to study the nutrient transport conditions within
      this area. The present study focused on a large oval eddy that was
      observed to form in this area near the downstream end of the Devil's
      Creek delta. Causative factors for this eddy were examined by using
      this numerical model. Results indicate that the eddy can be
      simulated by this model and that numerical study is a feasible way
      to examine the mechanisms of eddy formation.
    Purpose: Reporting results of research.
