Summary Also known as Model type Single Model part of larger framework Note on status model Date note status model Technical specs Supported platforms Linux, Windows Other platform Programming language Fortran77 Other program language Code optimized Single Processor Multiple processors implemented Nr of distributed processors Nr of shared processors Start year development 2005 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 owner"Through owner" is not in the list (Through web repository, Through CSDMS repository) of allowed values for the "Source code availability" property. Source web address Source csdms web address Program license type Other Program license type other -- Memory requirements ~2Mb Typical run time Few hours In/Output Describe input parameters Measured or artificially generated wave and current forcing. Floc diameter, density. Downslope gravity. Vertical grid mesh. Erodibility. Parameters for Bingham rheology. Input format ASCII Other input format Describe output parameters Major quantities: mud floc concentration, flow velocity in longshelf and cross-shelf direction. Other quantities: TKE, turbulent dissipation rate, floc size (if floc dynamics turn on), bottom stress. Output format ASCII Other output format Pre-processing software needed? No Describe pre-processing software Post-processing software needed? Yes Describe post-processing software Typical Matlab or Excell plotting Visualization software needed? Yes If above answer is yes Matlab Other visualization software Process Describe processes represented by the model wave-current boundary layer and fluid mud transport. dilute suspension. wave-supported gravity-driven mudflow. turbulence modulation due to sediment. tidal-driven fluid mud transport. Floc dynamics. Rheology. Describe key physical parameters and equations mixture equations (derived from two-phase theory with fine sediment assumption). k-epsilon closure derived from two-phase theory. Bingham rheology. Floc property is based on fractal structure. Bottom boundary condition for mud is based on type I erosion. Describe length scale and resolution constraints Wave-current BL, lengthscale ~1 m nearbed, grid size ~1mm; Tidal BL: lengthscale 10 m, grid size 1cm Describe time scale and resolution constraints Wave-current BL: timescale ~10 min; time step ~0.01 sec; Tidal BL: timescale days and time step 10 s Describe any numerical limitations and issues -- Testing Describe available calibration data sets AMASSED; STRATAFORM; EUROSTRATAFORM Upload calibration data sets if available: Describe available test data sets AMASSED; STRATAFORM; EUROSTRATAFORM Upload test data sets if available: Describe ideal data for testing -- Other Do you have current or future plans for collaborating with other researchers?
