Abstract
A method for straightening bathymetries is proposed to facilitate a simplified form of threedimensional (3D) modeling in sinuous, dendritic reservoirs. This method neglects the sinuosity of the reservoir, while preserving the 3D topology and the general relationship between water volume in littoral and main basin regions. This approach allows a model to capture the critical 3D effects of shallow littoral regions, while retaining simple Cartesian grids and methods.
