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.
