Computer graphics animation of the Tellico Reservoir water temperature simulation

Abstract

A color computer graphics animation movie was developed to illustrate simulated water temperatures in Tellico Reservoir. Movie depicts March through October of a typical annual cycle in five minutes of animation. A FORTRAN program used DISSPLA software and an Information International FR 80 graphic recorder to produce a 16 mm color, silent movie. Displayed data were taken from the results of a two-dimensional hydrodynamic computer model.
