Property:Describe time scale and resolution
From CSDMS
This is a property of type Text.
T
The flow should be run to be fully developed, and this time scale depends on the time scale of sediment settling time, and flow periods. the time step should be fine enough not to cause numerical instability, and also capture the varying the flow forcing. +
S
The model assumes continuous discharge; assuming flow intermittency of 0.01, the model can represent tens of thousands of years of surface evolution. +
W
The model can be run for a single storm (minutes to hours), and can also be run in continuous simulation mode for any number of years (1 - 100+). +
K
The model explicitly runs on an individual tidal cycle time step, which we scale up to 2 months. But, results most meaningful at timescales greater than a couple years. +
C
The model has simulated periods from 1 day to 9000 years.
The length of run is largely contingent on the number of grid cells, thus a balance between resoltion and area of study. A small catchment with a coarse resolution will run very fast. Increase the area or make grid cells smaller and run times will increase. +
W
The model is abstract. Time given in iterations, relating iterations to real time depends strongly on the climate of the area simulated. +
S
E
S
The model is typically driven by hourly wind data (speed and angle) and models coastal change over a period of 10 to 100 years. +
W
The model takes about 4-6 model years to reach equilibrium. The modeled time period is from the Archean Earth (3.8 - 2.5 Ga) +
O
The model works best for event to decadal time scales on a personal machine. +
C
The steady flow assumption used by most (not all) hydrology sub-models restricts time scale to periods significantly longer than a single storm. The model has been mostly used to address time scales relevant to significant topographic evolution, though in the case of rapidly changing landscapes (e.g., gully networks) this can be as short as decades. +
A
The time scale constraints usually comes from the input meteorological data: each time step must be provided with a set of input data. +
M
The time scale is of the order of 10-1000 years, since the migration of meandering rivers is usually very slow, (e.g. 1 meter/year). +
1
The time scale over which the simulation occurs is specified in zrp.m as an input parameter. Since the module is computationally lightweight, millions of time steps can be simulated quickly.
Translating between discrete steps of the particle model and continuous, real-world time may be inferred during the dimensionalization process. +
S
The typical time scale is on the order of 100 second, and the time step should satisfy the Courant number (<0.3) +
B
There is no conservation of mass on adjacent hillslopes, which presents a natural time limitation of ~10^6 years. +
L
There is no explicit time, every time step is a bankfull event. With the parameters published here, vertical incision rates correspond to rates on the order of cm/yr. +
I
O
This is a point model and not dependent on time scale or resolution. +
