R2D Bed Bed Topography File Editor User s Manual by Peter Steffler University of Alberta September 2002 1 0 INTRODUCTION TO R2D_Bed 1 1 1 2 Background R2D Bed is a utility program intended for use with the River2D river modelling system R2D Bed is an interactive and graphical bed topography file editor The normal modelling process would involve creating a preliminary bed topography file text from the raw field data then editing and refining it using R2D Bed The resulting bed topography file is used in R2D Mesh to develop a computational discretization River2D is then used to solve for the water depths and velocities Finally the River2D habitat module is used to visualize and interpret the results and perform PHABSIM type fish habitat analysis An iterative approach at various stages including modification of the bed topography is usual Features Overview Accurate representation of the physical features of the river channel bed is probably the most crucial factor in successful river flow modelling In addition to accurate and extensive field data judgement and experience are necessary to connect the scattered data points into a digital surface representation The River2D model family is based on the Triangulated Irregular Network TIN methodology including breaklines for spatial interpolation of nodal parameters The nodal values are usually measured points but the breakline locations are judgemental R2D

25. nd boundaries are specified in the same section as the nodes Thus the only period character required is at the end of the file In this case brackets are used to identify the nature of those nodes listed whether it is an open or closed boundary or breakline Therefore sequence is unimportant and it is not necessary to group segments of a certain type Note that it is also possible to mix both formats For example a file that is chiefly in implicit format might have several breakline segments identified in a short section following the main file R2D Bed User Manual September 30 2002 3 2 1 1 These breaklines would then need to be formatted according to the explicit rules The specifics of the bed file format are explained in detail in the sections that follow A sample bed file called BedNotes bed is provided in Appendix A This file can also be downloaded from the River2D website Comments The bed file may contain any number of comments as long as the comments do not contain numerical digits periods or any form of brackets Also no comments should appear within the set of numbers defining a node breakline segment or boundary segment Blank lines are treated as comments and ignored as well Node Specification A single node is represented by a line in the bed file and consists of a point number integer x coordinate floating point number y coordinate floating point number bed elevation floating po
