Model identity
Model type Single
Spatial dimensions
Spatial extent
Model domain
One-line model description Sedimentary process modeling software
Extended model description Another derivative of the original SEDSIM, completely rewritten from scratch. It uses finite differences (in addition to the original particle-cell method) to speed up steady flow calculations. It also incorporates compaction algorithms. A general description has been published.

Users groups model
Do you have current or future plans for collaborating with other researchers? I am interested in collaboration, but it may be difficult due to proprietary restrictions.
