Following is the appearance of the Sediment tab of the Reservoir Coefficients dialog:
Following is a description of the parameters associated with Sediment. Refer to the main Reservoir Coefficients page for information on other categories of coefficients. To save the changes made when closing this dialog, click OK. To ignore changes, click Cancel.
All of these coefficients applies to each reservoir segment in a multiple segment simulation or to the whole reservoir in a single segment simulation.
SOD is the constant sediment oxygen demand for the reservoir’s bottom sediment (0.1 – 2 g / sq m / day)
Thickness is the average sediment thickness (> 0 cm)
Diffusion is the diffusion rate of constituents out of the sediement (normally 0.0002 m2 / day)
When the Apply Changes To Selected button is checked, changes made to the coefficients of the reservoir segment being edited will be made to all selected reservoir segments. When the Apply Changes To All button is checked, changes made to the coefficients of the reservoir segment being edited will be made to all reservoir segments.
