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 | |
