| Model description | ||
| Model type: | Modular model | |
| Description: | Sedflux-2.0 is the newest version of the Sedflux basin-filling model. Sedflux-2.0 provides a framework within which individual process-response models of disparate time and space resolutions communicate with one another to deliver multi grain sized sediment load across a continental margin. | |
| Technical information | ||
| Supported platforms: | Unix, Linux, Mac OSX | |
| Programming language: | C | |
| Model was developed started from: | 1997 and development still takes place | |
| To what degree will the model become available: | As code and as executable | |
| Current license type: | GPL_v2 | |
| Memory requirements: | 2GB | |
| Typical run time: | minutes to days | |
| Input / Output description | ||
| Input parameters: | River mouth characteristics (velocity, width, depth, concentration) averaged daily, or longer.
Initial bathymetry. Input sediment distribution and properties of each grain type. Optionally, any of: tectonics, sea level, wave climate, and currents | |
| Input format: | ASCII | |
| Output parameters: | Sediment properties that include (but are not limited to) bulk density, grain size, porosity, and permeability. These are averaged over are user-specified vertical resolution (typically mm to cm).
Sea-floor properties that include slope, water depth, and sand fraction. | |
| Output format: | Binary | |
| Post-processing software (if needed): | no | |
| Visualization software (if needed): | Yes, Matlab | |
| Process description | ||
| Processes represented by model: | surface plumes, hyperpycnal plumes, sediment slope failure that results in turbidity currents or debris flows, subsidence, compaction, sediment remobilization due to waves and currents, river avulsion | |
| Key physical parameters & equations: | Too numerous to list. | |
| Length scale & resolution constraints: | Vertically: mm to cm; Horizontally: 10s of m to 1000 of m | |
| Time scale & resolution constraints: | Days or greater. Component processes can have much higher resolutions for numerical stability. | |
| Numerical limitations and issues : | -- | |
| Testing | ||
| Available calibration data sets: | -- | |
| Available test data sets: | -- | |
| Ideal data for testing: | -- | |
| User groups | ||
| Currently or plans for collaborating with: | None | |
| Documentation | ||
| Key papers of the model: | Sedflux-2.0: An advanced process-response model that generates three-dimensional stratigraphy. | |
| Is there a manual available: | Yes | |
| Model website if any: | (http://sedflux.googlecode.com) | |
