AGPM-2D (post-processor) movies

 

NOTE:  

The downloadable AVI files below were all created using AGPM’s OLE link

to HyperCam, a shareware program you can register for less than $50. 

Hypercam v1.51 is the version that works with AGPM, and is available here.

 

 Residence time in 3 waterbodies (3.5MB zip file)

Animation of reservoir “age”.  Reservoir age is initially zero and all inflow has age zero.  Age at each location in the reservoir is incremented by 1 timestep on each timestep, and age is subject to transport just like any other constituent.  This produces a movie of cell residence time that provides insight on where the water in the reservoir is spending its time

 

Zone marking in Degray (1.2MB zip file)

Animation of DO and temperature with “zone marking”.  Highlighted zone with border shows region of reservoir where temperature is 18<T<26 and DO>3 mg/L.  Zone marking can be used to highlight a region of special significance, such as a particular habitat, ecological zone, or limnologic zone of the reservoir.

 

Viewing Movies

To view the movies above, download the .zip file and unzip with WinZip or other zip utility.  The .zip file expands to an AVI file (“.avi” extension) that is about 5 times the size of the zip file.  Find the AVI file in Windows Explorer and dbl-click to run Windows Media Player or other AVI viewer on the file.  On some versions of Windows, you may have better results by running mplayer2.exe or mplayer.exe (in \windows folder), then opening the AVI file from that viewer.
