Summary Contact Technical specs In/Output Process Testing Other Component info Also known as Landlab ErosionDeposition component Model type Single Model part of larger framework LandLab Note on status model Date note status model Incorporated models or components: Spatial dimensions 2D Spatial extent Continental, Landscape-Scale, Reach-Scale, Regional-Scale, Watershed-Scale Model domain Terrestrial One-line model description Landlab component for fluvial erosion/deposition. Extended model description The Landlab ErosionDeposition component calculates fluvial erosion and deposition of a single substrate as derived by Davy and Lague (2009, Journal of Geophysical Research). Mass is simultaneously conserved in two reservoirs: the bed and the water column. ErosionDeposition dynamically transitions between detachment-limited and transport-limited behavior, but is limited to erosion of a single substrate (e.g., sediment or bedrock but not both).

No If above answer is no, provide end year model development 2017 Code development status Active When did you indicate the 'code development status'? 2020 Model availability Source code availability (Or provide future intension) Through web repository Source web address https://github.com/landlab/landlab/tree/master/landlab/components/erosion_deposition Source csdms web address Program license type BSD or MIT X11 Program license type other Memory requirements variable Typical run time variable; minutes to hours Describe input parameters [[Describe input parameters model::Parameters ---------- grid : ModelGrid Landlab ModelGrid object K : float Erodibility constant for substrate (units vary). phi : float Sediment porosity [-]. v_s : float Effective settling velocity for chosen grain size metric [L/T]. m_sp : float Drainage area exponent (units vary) n_sp : float Slope exponent (units vary) sp_crit : float Critical stream power to erode substrate [E/(TL^2)] F_f : float Fraction of eroded material that turns into "fines" that do not contribute to (coarse) sediment load. Defaults to zero. method : string Either "simple_stream_power", "threshold_stream_power", or "stochastic_hydrology". Method for calculating sediment and bedrock entrainment/erosion. discharge_method : string Either "area_field" or "discharge_field". If using stochastic hydrology, determines whether component is supplied with drainage area or discharge. area_field : string or array Used if discharge_method = 'area_field'. Either field name or array of length(number_of_nodes) containing drainage areas [L^2]. discharge_field : string or array Used if discharge_method = 'discharge_field'.Either field name or array of length(number_of_nodes) containing drainage areas [L^2/T]. solver : string Solver to use. Options at present include: (1) 'basic' (default): explicit forward-time extrapolation. Simple but will become unstable if time step is too large. (2) 'adaptive': adaptive time-step solver that estimates a stable step size based on the shortest time to "flattening" among all upstream-downstream node pairs.]] Input format Other input format Arguments are passed within Landlab driver script Describe output parameters Model returns modified 'topographic__elevation', the model grid field holding model node elevations.
