Summary Also known as Model type Modular Model part of larger framework Note on status model Date note status model Technical specs Supported platforms Unix, Linux, Mac OS Other platform Programming language C Other program language Code optimized Multiple processors implemented Nr of distributed processors Nr of shared processors Start year development 1997 Does model development still take place? Yes If above answer is no, provide end year model development Code development status When did you indicate the 'code development status'? Model availability As code Source code availability (Or provide future intension) Through CSDMS repository Source web address Source csdms web address Program license type GPL v2 Program license type other Memory requirements 2GB Typical run time minutes to days In/Output Describe input parameters River mouth characteristics (velocity, width, depth, concentration) averaged daily, or longer. Initial bathymetry. Input sediment distribution and properties of each grain type. Optionally, any of: tectonics, sea level, wave climate, and currents Input format ASCII Other input format Describe output parameters Sediment properties that include (but are not limited to) bulk density, grain size, porosity, and permeability. These are averaged over are user-specified vertical resolution (typically mm to cm). Sea-floor properties that include slope, water depth, and sand fraction. Output format Binary Other output format Pre-processing software needed? No Describe pre-processing software Post-processing software needed? No Describe post-processing software Visualization software needed? Yes If above answer is yes Matlab Other visualization software Process Describe processes represented by the model surface plumes, hyperpycnal plumes, sediment slope failure that results in turbidity currents or debris flows, subsidence, compaction, sediment remobilization due to waves and currents, river avulsion Describe key physical parameters and equations Too numerous to list. Describe length scale and resolution constraints Vertically: mm to cm; Horizontally: 10s of m to 1000 of m Describe time scale and resolution constraints Days or greater. Component processes can have much higher resolutions for numerical stability.

Sedflux-2.0 provides a framework within which individual process-response models of disparate time and space resolutions communicate with one another to deliver multi grain sized sediment load across a continental margin. Version 2.0 introduces a series of new process models, and the ability to operate in one of two modes to track the evolution of stratigraphy in either two or three dimensions. Additions to the 2D-mode include the addition of models that simulate erosion and deposition of sediment along a riverbed, cross-shore transport due to ocean waves, and turbidity currents and hyperpycnal flows. New processes in the 3D-mode include river channel avulsion, two-dimensional diffusion due to ocean storms, and two-dimensional flexure due to sediment loading. The spatial resolution of the architecture is typically 1-25 cm in the vertical, and 10-100 m in the horizontal when operating in 2D-mode. In 3D-mode, the .... Read more.....
