Cooperative Agreement for affiliated Partner with Great Basin Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU)
The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research on numerical modeling of Bear River Bay (BRB) outflow to Gilbert Bay of Great Salt Lake (GSL).
The CESU partner will 1) develop a three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic model that solves the 3D Navier-Stokes Equation, and an equation for transport of salt, which is the main source of density difference in the simulated system.
Turbulence in the system will be modeled using k-epsilon turbulence closure.
The equations will be solved using the finite element method for spatial discretization, with prismatic elements in 3D (Hervouet 2007).
The solver is part of the open-source free-surface hydrodynamics solver Telemac-3D, which is part of the Telemac-Mascaret suit of solvers (http://www.opentelemac.org/); and 2) develop physics-informed data-driven model(s) that could estimate the flow at the BRB Outflow, for a range of conditions within the range of USGS measured data.

When it Comes to Social Enterprises, Failure is the Best Platform for Innovation
In the world of social enterprises, failure is a cringe-worthy moment nobody wants to talk about. But, social entrepreneurs can benefit from their failures.
