Future versions of the model will include the profile evolution.
The key equations are a sediment mass balance and the boundary conditions dictated by diffusive transport (i.e., the sediment flux is proportional to the local bed slope through the fluvial diffusivity). To first order calculations, we assume the fluvial diffusivity to be 0.1 times the water discharge per unit width. More accurate expressions for the fluvial diffusivity can be found in Paola 2000 and Lorenzo-Trueba et al.2009.
