A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model—an advanced computer simulation of fluid behavior—depicts water temperature changes surrounding the new bubbler. The red areas indicate high temperatures, while the cooler blue and green colors cluster near the south Ladder Exit and south Diffuser Intake. These cooler temperatures are highly preferred by cold-water species like salmon migrating through the fish ladders.
