Simulation of Streamflow Using a Multidimensional Flow Model for White Sturgeon Habitat, Kootenai River near Bonners Ferry, Idaho—Supplement to Scientific Investigations Report 2005–5230

Table 2. Sensitivity analysis and results of the multidimensional flow model streamflow simulations for the braided-straight reach, Kootenai River near Bonners Ferry, Idaho.

[Streamflow for river model simulation: The model was constructed with a uniform drag coefficient. Sensitivity analyses of the calibrated drag coefficient were made for the 170, 1,130, and 2,120 m3/s flow-management scenarios at 85 (bold, italic) and 115 (bold) percent of the drag coefficient value. Reported median and maximum values were based on the population of all wet nodes in the model. Abbreviations: m3/s, cubic meter per second; ft3/s, cubic foot per second; m, meter; ft, foot; Med., median; Max., maximum; m/s, meter per second; ft/s, foot per second]
