ADVANCED FEATURES OF THE SEDIMENT TRANSPORT MODULE

• Fully integrated with the RiverFlow2D Plus hydrodynamic engine
• Calculation of bed erosion and deposition with flexible mesh
• Suspended sediment transport using the advection equation to calculate sediment concentration with size fractions
• Nine settling velocity formulas
• Bed load sediment transport with 10 transport equations to choose from
• User-selected suspended and/or bed load mechanisms for more realistic simulations 
• Multiple size fractions to compute sediment transport
• Coupled implementation allows accurate simulation of rapid erosion events such as those occurring in dam-break assessments
• Geomorphic collapse: mass conservative mechanism of slope sliding failure to avoid unrealistic bed slopes
• Non-erodible zones. Users can impose polygons where the bed will be considered non-erodible below a given elevation
• Fourth-generation finite-volume numerical engine for accurate, stable and mass error free results
• Thoroughly verified and validated with analytic, flume and real-world projects.

APPLICATIONS

• Detailed river bed erosion and deposition
