Study on the effect of front retaining walls on the thermal structure and outflow temperature of reservoirs. by Xiaoqian Yang, Youcai Tuo, Yanjing Yang, Xin Wang, Yun Deng, Haoyu Wang

“…For this purpose, taking the Dongqing Reservoir as a case study, a two-dimensional hydrodynamic CE-QUAL-W2 model was configured for the typical channel-type reservoir in the southwestern Guizhou Province, to better understand the influence of FRWs on the thermal structure and outflow temperature. The simulated data from January to September 2017 showed that FRWs can change the vertical temperature distribution during the stratification period, accelerate the upper warmer water release and thus decrease the strength of thermal stratification. …”
