The model can calculate onset, growth, and breakup of ice cover. Selective withdrawal calculations. The model can calculate the vertical extent of the withdrawal zone based on outlet geometry, outflow, and density. Time-varying boundary conditions. The model allows the user considerable flexibility in the type and frequency of outputs.
Output is available for the screen, hard copy, plotting, and restarts.
The user can specify what is output, when during the simulation output is to begin, and the output frequency. The first LARM application was on a reservoir with no branches. Numerous new capabilities have been included in Version 2.0. The input and output data have been reformatted and the user manual has been rewritten with this goal in mind. The minimum configuration is an 80386 PC equipped with a math coprocessor.
