| Process description model | |
|---|---|
| Describe processes represented by the model | This driver program solves the equations describing horizontal velocities in a buoyant, turbulent, plane jet issuing in a normal direction from a coast into a large volume of still fluid. Sedimentation under the jet is modelled using a hemipelagic rain formulation, bedload dumping, and downslope diffusion due to slides, slumps and turbidity currents. |
