Quasi-three-dimensional hydrodynamic model outputs of the Missouri River at Searcys Bend near Columbia, Missouri May 5, 2021

This dataset contains quasi-three-dimensional hydrodynamic model outputs from the Flow and Sediment Transport with Morphologic Evolution of CHannels (FaSTMECH) hydrodynamic model in the open source binary Visualization Toolkit (VTK) format (https://vtk.org/) that are required to run simulations of the Searcys Bend dye trace experiment using the “Fluvial Particle” model. The outputs correspond to a modeled flow of 1631 cubic meters per second (cms) based on conditions at Searcys Bend on May 5, 2021, as measured by the U.S. Geological Survey’s Missouri River gaging station at Boonville, Missouri (USGS Gage 06909000). Four different variations of the model were run at multiples of 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 of the calculated lateral eddy viscosity (LEV) value to account for uncertainty in this parameter.
