History

Development of the model began in 2005 as an Excel Visual Basic programme. Conversion to Matlab started in 2008. Downloadable version here is still a prototype and requires further testing. Development is ongoing, mostly focussed on development of sediment transport algorithms.

Input Files

The main input file defines parameter values and filenames of several secondary input files. A parameter file example.txt and ll the other files indicated in example.txt are given with the source code and the GUI is set to load this parameter file as a default setting.
