Model Development
The starting point for TREX development was CASC2D (Julien and Saghafian, 1991; Julien et al. 1995; Johnson et al. 2000; Ogden and Julien, 2002; Julien and Rojas, 2002). The basic framework is an event-based model that simulates overland flow, surface soil erosion and deposition, channel flow and sediment transport through stream channels. As part of TREX development, the hydrologic and sediment transport components of CASC2D were significantly expanded and enhanced to support flood modeling and chemical transport features (Velleux, 2005; England, 2005; Velleux et al. 2006; England et al. 2007; Velleux et al. 2008). Chemical transport and fate components were formulated based on those in the USEPA WASP/IPX series of stream water quality models (Ambrose et al. 1993; Velleux et al. 2001) to create a fully distributed model to simulate chemical transport and fate at the watershed scale. A conceptual diagram of chemical model processes is presented below.

Modeled Processes
The hydrologic processes in the model are:

  • rainfall, interception, and surface storage;
  • infiltration and transmission loss; and
  • overland and channel flow.

The model state variables are water depth in the overland plane and stream channels.  Rainfall can be uniform or distributed in both time and space. When spatially distributed rainfall is simulated, areal rainfall estimates are interpolated from point rain gage data using an inverse distance weighting approach. Interception and surface storage are simulated as equivalent depths. 

 

The sediment transport processes in the model are:

  • advection and dispersion;
  • erosion and deposition; and
  • bed elevation adjustment.

All processes occur in both the overland plane and stream channels. Any number of particle sizes can be simulated. Advection is computed from flow and concentration.  Erosion and deposition rates are calculated as a function of the hydraulic properties of the flow, the physical properties of the soils and sediments such as particle grain size and surface characteristics such as slope.

 

The chemical transport and fate processes in the model include:

  • chemical partitioning and phase distribution;
  • advection-diffusion;
  • erosion and deposition;
  • infiltration and transmission loss; and
  • mass transfer and transformation processes.

All processes can occur in both the overland plane and stream channels. Any number of chemicals can be simulated. Advection is computed from flow and concentration.  Partitioning can be simulated on a concentration or organic carbon normalized basis.
