Model description
Model type:
|
Single model for the Marine domain
|
Description:
|
Sedtrans05 is a sediment transport model for continental shelf and estuaries. It predicts the sediment transport at one location as function water depth, sediment type, current and waves (single point model). It can be used as sediment transport module for larger 2D models.
Five different transport equations are available for non-cohesive sediments (sand) and one algorithm for cohesive sediment.
