3D numerical morphodynamic models

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.
