Raw Data and Model Input for "Simulating the Fate and Transport of ZnO Nanoparticles in a Tidal River: Coupling a Form-Specific Material Flow Analysis Model to a Hydrodynamic Fate Model"

This dataset comprises the raw data and model input files associated with the manuscript "Simulating the Fate and Transport of ZnO Nanoparticles in a Tidal River: Coupling a Form-Specific Material Flow Analysis Model to a Hydrodynamic Fate Model," authored by Suhendra et al., submitted to NanoImpact (Manuscript Number: IMPACT-D-25-00038R1). The uploaded ZnO_NP_Tidal_River_Simulation_Dataset.zip archive contains four essential files for data verification and model reproducibility: HECRAS_DYNHYD_ASCII.HYD: An ASCII-encoded Hydrodynamic Linkage File (HLF) compiled from HEC-RAS hydrodynamic simulation results, conforming to WASP specifications (Ambrose et al., 1993). This human-readable file provides a detailed record of instantaneous segment volumes, depths, water velocities, and average interfacial flows for each time step, enabling verification of the hydrodynamic conditions used in the WASP model. HECRAS_DYNHYD_BIN.HYD: A binary-encoded Hydrodynamic Linkage File. While not directly human-readable, this file is the required format for importing hydrodynamic results into WASP versions after 7 due to efficiency considerations. Users can convert HECRAS_DYNHYD_ASCII.HYD to an identical binary file using the Hydrolink tool provided with WASP 8 (\USEPA-WASP8\wasp\bin\Hydrolink.exe). WASP_Input_NanoImpact_Edward2025.wif: The primary WASP 8 project file (.wif) containing all configurations and settings for the water quality simulation of ZnO nanoparticles in this study. This includes, but is not limited to, model setup (e.g., model domain, number of segments, kinetic configuration), simulation control settings (start date, duration, time step), constituent and parameter definitions, loading information (e.g., point source inputs), boundary conditions, and the link to the hydrodynamic file. Researchers interested in launching this project should install WASP 8 software and ensure HECRAS_DYNHYD_BIN.HYD is placed in the specified HLF access location for proper initialization. Raw_simulation_datasets_for_Figures_NanoImpact_Edward2025.xlsx: An Excel spreadsheet consolidating all raw simulation datasets that were used to generate the figures presented in the aforementioned NanoImpact manuscript. A comprehensive README.md file is included within the archive, providing further details on each file, data formats, and guidance for reproducibility.
