==Type==
Hydromorphological models

===Basic principles===
Fundamental equations for conservation of water mass and water flow momentum, time-averaged over all turbulent fluctuations (RANS = Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equation) or time-averaged over only the smaller turbulent fluctuations (LES = Large Eddy Simulation).
Lagrangian equations for pickup, transport and deposition of sediment particles. Exner equation for conservation of sediment mass.

===Outputs===
Flow velocities, water depths, water levels, flow shear stresses.
Sediment transport, bed level, erosion, sedimentation.
