Property:Describe numerical limitations

This is a property of type Text.
C
The model handles complex-shaped coastlines, such as cuspate-capes and spits. However, where the shoreline curvature becomes extreme (radius of curvature comparable to the cross-shore shoreface extent), as at the ends of spits, the assumptions of a locally rectilinear coordinate system break down, and sediment is conserved less rigorously locally. See Ashton and Murray (2006a) for details. +
W
M
The model might be unstable if the meander bends are too sharp and/or flow parameters are somehow borderline. +
R
The model was designed for laminar to transitional flows, up to 10 cm/s. Under these conditions, the flow velocity solution is approximate but is realistic and stable. +
L
The profiles should not be spaced too closely in order to avoid an unstable saw-tooth longitudinal profile of the river. +
C
P
This model is limited to ice-rich permafrost exposures, where soil is at least 40% ice by volume and inorganic particles tend to be finer than sand. +
T
This model is only tested in rectangle domains, and compared the results with idealized experiments;
Sediment bed state is affected by the initial condition (mainly due to the frictional stess closure in this model). For 2D or 3D runs, it is suggested that first run 1DV to steady or quasi-steady state, and map the 1DV results to 2DV or 3D, in this way, the initial instability of the sediment bed can be avoided. +
