    We report a specialized refined grid system for simulating full three-dimensional natural waters, named hybrid grid system. This system is composed of orthogonal body-fitted curvilinear coordinates in horizontal directions and Cartesian coordinates in the vertical direction. In the horizontal plane the orthogonal body-fitted coordinate system exactly fits shore lines, in the vertical direction the blockage coefficients approximate the bottom topography. As an example, we provide the generation of the hybrid grid system for a \(90^\circ\) curved river reach.
