No Describe pre-processing software Post-processing software needed? No Describe post-processing software Visualization software needed? No If above answer is yes Other visualization software Describe processes represented by the model As a crevasse splay evolves, the slope of its outflow should be no less than the slope of lower channel; and the bottom elevation of a crevasse splay should be no lower than the elevation of lowest point of channel bed, so the bottom elevation of the lowest point that a crevasse splay is able to cut down is max(hs, Zcsb). A ratio of Q above the bottom of crevasse splay can be distributed to outflow of crevasse splay. After flow parameters for the outflow of crevasse splay are calculated, the erosion (deposition) rate of crevasse splay can be calculated, thus the morphology of crevasse splay can be updated. When the crevasse splay has not yet cut down to the lowest point max(hs,Zcsb), it can be both widened and deepened. When the crevasse splay has cut down to the lowest point max(hs,Zcsb), it can only be widened or silted vertically. Describe key physical parameters and equations Key physical parameters: Q: water discharge upstream crevasse splay; Qcs: outflow discharge of crevasse splay; Qabove: the water discharge above the bottom of crevasse splay; rq: the discharge ratio of Qcs and Qabove; hs: channel belt's super-elevation (the elevation of lowest point of channel bed); Zcs: bottom elevation of crevasse splay; Bcs: width of crevasse splay; Hcs: flow depth of crevasse splay; Vcs: flow velocity of crevasse splay; jcs: slope of the outflow of crevasse splay; Zcsb: bottom elevation of a crevasse splay whose flow slope is equal to the channel slope j; Key physical equations: Zcs<=max(hs,Zcsb); rq=(1.55-1.45*Fi)*Bcs/wc+0.16*(1-2*Fi), in which Fi is the Fraud number for flow in the trunk channel, wc is width of the trunk channel; Hcs=(nc*Qcs/sqrt(jcs)/Bcs)^(3/5); Vcs=Qcs/Hcs/Bcs; dE=M*(Vcs^2-ucre^2)/ucre^2*dt, where M is M-coefficient for erosion rate for crevasse slpay, ucre is critical velocity for erosion, dt is time step; dD=Sv*(1-Vcs^2/ucrd^2)*ws/0.6*dt, where Sv is volume sediment concentration, ucrd is critical velocity for deposition, ws is settling velocity of suspended load, dt is time step.
