Process
| Describe processes represented by the model
|
This driver program solves the equations describing horizontal velocities in a buoyant, turbulent, plane jet issuing in a normal direction from a coast into a large volume of still fluid. Sedimentation under the jet is modelled using a hemipelagic rain formulation, bedload dumping, and downslope diffusion due to slides, slumps and turbidity currents.

| Describe key physical parameters and equations

The equations are from Albertson et al. (1950) and Syvitski et al. (1988).
