analyzed the results obtained with RSim3D model for the main critical point 01 area and have been
continued modeling activities on medium scale for the critical points 01 and 02.
Using data sets prepared by INCDPM have been continued the activities to achieve Delft3D
model for sections on Calarasi - Braila Danube sector.
Also, simulations were performed for the critical point 10, based on data measured in
March. Completion of data sets for modeling has continued based on measurements in critical
points 1, 2 and 10. Data processing has been made, so that it can be used for modeling.
2.2.1 3D modeling for main critical point 01 area
Have been analyzed the results of RSim3D model for main critical point 01 area, which has
a great variability of Danube water flow conditions on branches.
Also, Delft3D modeling activities on medium-scale for critical points 1 and 2 areas have
been continued using data sets measured at the end of 2013 and early 2014. Have been used
existing calculation methods from Delft3D pack, in order to improve the model regarding
simulation the effects of construction and works in Bala ramification area and estimating the depth
conditions changes of other hydraulic parameters.
With parameters adjusted based on measured situations in medium - small flow range, were
analyzed the effects of sill’s quota. Have been made successive simulations of the bottom sill
effects on Bala branch considered horizontally, for certain quotas. The total flow in these
calculations is the one from the end of year 2013. The results reflect the default assumptions from
Delft3D pack, with perfect shaped bottom sill for water flow.

Figure 2.2.1 – Results of Delft3D model simulations, in the situation at the end of 2013, regarding lower limit
of the flow percentage on Old Danube, for different quotas of the bottom sill
(considered to be horizontal in the calculations)
Based on the specifications of software pack Delft3D documentation, results that these
values obtained through calculation for flow over the bottom sill, overestimates the possible flows
in real conditions. Therefore, the Old Danube flows from these calculations are lower than the

values under real conditions of the sill.
The flow of water over the bottom sill is hampered by its shape and by the elements on its
surface, as well as in the case of other similar construction. Therefore, it is likely that the flow
over the bottom sill will actually be lower than one calculated in the case with perfect shape of
the sill. As a result, the Old Danube flow downstream from Bala will be higher in real condition
than the one calculated in bottom sill conditions without imperfections.
Changes in flow percentages on the branches are not linearly dependent on bottom sill
quota, but rising faster for higher sill quotas. At quotas closer to the one initial considered,
changes in flow percentages could be highlighted more clearly by measurements, outside the usual
range of measured values spreading.
In more realistic estimation of the change of flow and depths conditions on the Old Danube,
occurs the representation of real characteristics of the bottom sill. These characteristics are not
uniform, but are situated within a range. Therefore, for a given situation on the Danube will result
flow values above the bottom sill, which are inside an interval of values lower than the one
corresponding for a perfect shape of the sill.
In order to improve the model, so that it can better represent the extreme flow conditions
in the area of the ramification, on Bala and Old Danube branches and near the bottom sill, as well
as for the studying of local phenomena and determining the appropriate measures, it is necessary
to be simulated different situations for the next period and be analyzed the results in comparison
with measurements. Thus, the model can be improved and used for the analysis of specific
situations and for some variants of appropriate measures for different requirements.
2.2.2 Delft3D modeling for long sections of the Danube on Călăraşi – Brăila sector
Activities for achieving the large-scale model Delft3D continued for the first part of Calarasi
- Braila Danube sector.
The model is built in steps, introducing the main branches of the Danube, with their
characteristics. Bathymetric and hydrological data are taken into consideration, being necessary to
be carefully analyzed the data combination in different areas and their effects on calculation
results.
Model calibration is based on several situations of flows, so that results can be obtained in
terms of average levels, high or low on the Danube.

The model was used to simulate the effects of Bala branch bottom sill in stage III, without
covering layer.
Calculations have been performed for various total flows on the Danube, whose values were
introduced into the model in upstream section of Calarasi – Braila sector.
Have been highlighted the differences between situations with bottom sill in stage III
without covering layer and previous situations.
Differences in levels shown in the figures, for the first part of the Calarasi - Braila sector
are in narrow intervals, indicating the computed estimated influence of the bottom sill with a very
low quota.

Model results are in line with those obtained from previous situations on the Danube,
showing that the work done resulted also in reduction of the differences in flow on Caleia branch
and on Danube.
Due to these works, the current flow distribution on the branches in main critical point 10
is more favorable regarding the depths for navigation on the Danube.

5. CONCLUSIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS, WARNINGS
5.1 This report reflects the activities carried out in the previous months according to monitoring
frequencies and locations (Critical Points) mentioned in the Specifications and recorded in the
contract graphic.
5.2 For the specific monitoring objectives within this phase, the Provider respects the field and
laboratory activities, logistics and infrastructure be made according to the graphics and
stipulations mentioned in the Specifications.
5.3 Taking into consideration the urging of the construction works that take place on Danube, on
the section between Calarasi and Braila. The Consortium recommends further actions on
biodiversity monitoring, at the same frequency, up to end of the project, in order to ensure
an informational volume, of a highly trusting level. This would allow, if possible, the
elaboration of preventive solutions.
5.4 There are no data/elements to accomplish a comparative decisional analysis between the real
field situation (bottom sill accomplished on Bala branch) and the numerical modelled
geometry for this construction phase.
5.5 After the meeting requested by Beneficiary held in 17-18.03.2014 at the headquarters of
INCDPM, has been discussed the situation created by BOKU partner, respectively the failure of
comply with partner status in the consortium led by INCDPM. Beneficiary and representative
of the Ministry of Transportation considers that it is not necessary the technical and scientific
evaluation and of the BOKU material by the project coordinator. In this case, we recommend
to be reconsidered this opinion because an integrated analysis to be made in the interim
reports depends on acquiring all expert reports.
5.6 Following the request of the Beneficiary that INCDPM experts participate with Deltares
subcontractor at the meeting in Brussels in 26.03.2014, INCDPM team traveled to Delft. Thus,
have been completed the PowerPoint presentations that were to be presented at the meeting
in Brussels (monitoring synthesis report respectively numerical modeling report at large
scale). INCDPM team recommends to the Beneficiary to take into account the conclusions of
both presentations.
5.7 According to the monitoring results, the INCDPM team recommends to the Beneficiary to take
into account that, according to the monitoring synthesis report, it was demonstrated that
sturgeons passed over the two bottom sills (old and new) at Bala, and also swim upstream on
the Old Danube.
5.8 According to preliminary data analyzed, water velocity in Bala bottom sill area have an
increasing tendecy; until now could not clarify the cause-effect relation and therefore we
recommend an intensive analysis of the area of investigation, correlated with your specialist
expertise on the navigability conditions. In this regard, please consider to organize a common
meeting with all stakeholders.
5.9 At the same time, we recommend the analysis of dredging operations that are performed on
the Old Danube in the area of interest, because there is the premise that the inefficiency of
dredging to be one of the causes for increased water velocity in the Bala bottom sill area.
