Property:Describe time scale and resolution
From CSDMS
This is a property of type Text.
T
C
M
S
Time scale is essentially set by the Courant condition: practially by P-wave velocity or maxwell time according to the constitutive model being considered. However, the mass scaling technique allows significantly increased time steps values from the usual dynamic one. +
H
W
Time scale ranges to seconds (for example, dam break problems) to tens of years (for example real time simulations of large watersheds). +
S
Time scale will be set by discharge calculation method. The model is in general intended for annual to geological time scales, but shorter time scales may be used if Landlab dynamic flow routing components are employed. +
E
Time scale: Days to millions of years +
T
Time scales should be long compared to the time scales of short-term bed elevation changes, i.e. changes in instantaneous bed elevation associated with bedload transport and bedform migration (Blom et al., 2003, Wong et al., 2007). In other words, model results are averages over short-term bed elevation changes. For applications at field scales, the time resolution should be at least of one year because the model runs with formative conditions representative of mean annual values.

G
Time step - 1 - 50 years
Duration - Hundreds to thousands of years +
H
Time step and simulation period are determined from the auxiliary data and meteorological forcing +
C
Time step is limited by Courant stability criteria (CFL < 1). Typical time step for open-ocean propagation: 15 s; near the coast: 0.5-5 s. Typical simulation time for geophysical tsunamis: few to 36 hours. +
G
Time step: 2-50 years (typically 10 years)
Duration: Centuries to millennia +
B
Time step: one year, with multiple storms occurring within each year
Duration: years to centuries +
Time step: one year, with multiple storms occurring within each year
Duration: years to millennia +
G
Time steps are limited by CFL condition based on depth of fluid. Finer grids can automatically refine to use finer resolution in time than the underlying coarse grids. +
W
Time steps from seconds to 1h. Time length of runs can be up to years. +
Q
Time steps of 10 – 1000 years depending on output range. Total range up to Millions of years. +
G
Time to create the model domain increases with the number of intersections between segments, catchment sub-basins, and the MODFLOW grid. +
