A 3D hydraulic-thermodynamic mathematical model is established to predict the temporal and spatial distribution of temperature in a large reservoir in different time scale inflow temperature condition, and a further research on the influence mechanism of inflow temperature on the water temperature structure is made. it is found that the convection current between the upper and the lower of the reservoir always appear when the storage heat in a reservoir decreases; the stratification phenomenon appears in most time of a year in a large reservoir which is controlled by the climate, and there is a close relationship between the water temperature distribution and the inflow temperature. Different inflow temperature has different affected area where the density current propagates, in the affected area, the difference of water temperature distribution occurs by the cumulative effect of the previous months, for the other area, the more detailed the inflow temperature is, the more accurate the simulation results are.
