Analytical models for bar patterns and braiding threshold
Type
Hydromorphological models
Basic principles
Linearized fundamental equations for conservation of water mass and water flow momentum, time-averaged over all turbulent fluctuations, spatially averaged over water depth (2DH) or nor spatially averaged (3D). Linearized parameterized relation for effect of helical flow on bed shear stress direction. Linearized equilibrium sediment transport predictor or advection-relaxation equation for sediment transport. Linearized empirical relation for effect of sloping beds on sediment transport magnitude and direction. Linearized Exner equation for conservation of sediment mass.
Outputs
Number of bars per cross-section, bar length, bar stability.
