Summary Contact Technical specs In/Output Process Testing Other Component info Also known as Model type Single Model part of larger framework Note on status model Date note status model Incorporated models or components: Spatial dimensions 2D Spatial extent Regional-Scale, Landscape-Scale, Watershed-Scale Model domain One-line model description Basin and landscape dynamics Extended model description Basin and Landscape Dynamics (Badlands) is a parallel TIN-based landscape evolution model, built to simulate topography development at various space and time scales. The model is presently capable of simulating hillslope processes (linear diffusion), fluvial incision ('modified' SPL: erosion/transport/deposition), spatially and temporally varying geodynamic (horizontal + vertical displacements) and climatic forces which can be used to simulate changes in base level, as well as effects of climate changes or sea-level fluctuations.

The model is presently capable of simulating hillslope processes (linear diffusion), fluvial incision ('modified' SPL: erosion/transport/deposition), spatially and temporally varying geodynamic (horizontal + vertical displacements) and climatic forces which can be used to simulate changes in base level, as well as effects of climate changes or sea-level fluctuations. Describe key physical parameters and equations The model is mainly written in fortran and is based on the following characteristics: - The finite volume approach from Tucker et al. (2001) based on the dual Delaunay-Voronoi framework is used to solve the continuity equation explicitly, - Node ordering is perform efficiently based on the work from Braun & Willett (2013), - A Hilbert Space-Filling Curve method algorithm (Zoltan) is used to partition the TIN-based surface into subdomains, - Drainage network partitioning is generated through METIS library. Describe length scale and resolution constraints catchment to continental scale Describe time scale and resolution constraints thousands to millions of years Describe any numerical limitations and issues A compilation of examples and documentation can be found in this Badlands-doc GitHub repository (http://github.com/badlands-model/Badlands-doc).
