Numerical meander models

Type

Hydromorphological models

Basic principles

Linearized fundamental equations for conservation of water mass and water flow momentum, spatially averaged over water depth and time-averaged over all turbulent fluctuations. Linearized parameterized relation for effect of helical flow on bed shear stress direction. Empirical bank migration predictor. Possibly linearized equilibrium sediment transport predictor. Possibly linearized empirical relation for effect of sloping beds on sediment transport magnitude and direction. Linearized Exner equation for conservation of sediment mass.

Outputs

Flow velocities, water depths, water levels, flow shear stresses. Sediment transport, bed level, bank erosion, meander migration.
