2DH numerical morphodynamic models
2DH numerical morphodynamic models
Type
Hydromorphological models
Basic principles
Fundamental equations for conservation of water mass and water flow momentum, spatially averaged over water depth and 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). Parameterized relation for effect of helical flow on bed shear stress direction. Equilibrium sediment transport predictor or advection-relaxation equation for sediment transport. Empirical relation for effect of sloping beds on sediment transport magnitude and direction. Exner equation for conservation of sediment mass. Possibly with extension to mixtures of different sediment grain sizes, accounting for mutual interactions through empirical relations for hiding and exposure. Possibly with bank erosion equations or interface with bank dynamics model.
Outputs
Flow velocities, water depths, water levels, flow shear stresses. Sediment transport, bed level, erosion, sedimentation, bed sediment composition.
