Model description
| Model type: | Single model for the terrestrial domain. |
| Description: | Calculates the bedload transport rates and weights per unit area for each size-density. NB. Bedload transport of different size-densities is proportioned according to the volumes in the bed. |
Technical information
| Supported platforms: | Unix, Linux, Mac OS X, Windows |
| Programming language: | Fortran77 |
| Model development started at: | 1992 and ended in 1994 |
| To what degree will the model become available: | Source code will be available |
| Current license type: | -- |
| Memory requirements: | <512MB |
| Typical run time: | a few seconds |
Input / Output description
| Input parameters: | Proportion by mass of each size-density fraction in the bed, instantaneous turbulent grain shear velocities, critical shear stresses of each size-density fraction |
| Input format: | ASCII |
| Output parameters: | weight bedload transport rates of each size-density fraction |
| Output format: | ASCII |
| Post-processing software (if needed): | no |
| Visualization software (if needed): | Yes, any software that can read ASCII data |
Process description
| Processes represented by model: | Mass flux per unit width, dry mass of grains moving over the unit bed area, calculates the suspendable amount present in the moving bed |
| Key physical parameters & equations: | Bridge function, see Bridge and Dominic (1984) or Einstein's equation |
| Length scale & resolution constraints: | -- |
| Time scale & resolution constraints: | -- |
| Numerical limitations and issues : | -- |
Testing
| Available calibration data sets: | See Slingerland et al. (1994) |
| Available test data sets: | -- |
| Ideal data for testing: | -- |
User groups
| Currently or plans for collaborating with: | None |
