|Extended model description=SimClast is a basin-scale 3D stratigraphic model, which allows several interacting sedimentary environments. Processes included are; fluvial channel dynamics and overbank deposition, river plume deposition, open marine currents, wave resuspension, nearshore wave induced longshore and crosshore transport. This combined modelling approach allows insight into the processes influencing the flux of energy and clastic material and the effect of external perturbations in all environments. Many governing processes work on relatively small scales, e.g. in fluvial settings an avulsion is a relatively localised phenomenon. Yet, they have a profound effect on fluvial architecture. This means that the model must mimic these processes, but at the same time maintain computational efficiency. Additionally, long-term models use relatively large grid-sizing (km scale), as the area to be modelled is on the scale of continental margins. We solve this problem by implementing the governing processes as sub-grid scale routines into the large-scale basin-filling model. This parameterization greatly refines morphodynamic behaviour and the resulting stratigraphy. This modelling effort recreates realistic geomorphological and stratigraphic delta behaviour in river and wave-dominated settings.

Extended model description SimClast is a basin-scale 3D stratigraphic model, which allows several interacting sedimentary environments. Processes included are; fluvial channel dynamics and overbank deposition, river plume deposition, open marine currents, wave resuspension, nearshore wave induced longshore and crosshore transport. This combined modelling approach allows insight into the processes influencing the flux of energy and clastic material and the effect of external perturbations in all environments. Many governing processes work on relatively small scales, e.g. in fluvial settings an avulsion is a relatively localised phenomenon. Yet, they have a profound effect on fluvial architecture. This means that the model must mimic these processes, but at the same time maintain computational efficiency. Additionally, long-term models use relatively large grid-sizing (km scale), as the area to be modelled is on the scale of continental margins. We solve this problem by implementing the governing processes as sub-grid scale routines into the large-scale basin-filling model. This parameterization greatly refines morphodynamic behaviour and the resulting stratigraphy. This modelling effort recreates realistic geomorphological and stratigraphic delta behaviour in river and wave-dominated settings.

Describe processes represented by the model
  • Fluvial/alluvial processes;
    • Aggrading fluvial channels in one gridcell with crevasse. Subgrid sedimentation mimics alluvial ridge aggradation and overbank deposition. Avulsions are modelled one dimensionally by calculating the flow and sediment transport at prospective avulsion nodes. See also Dalman & Weltje (2008).
  • Floodplain processes;
    • Differential compaction, groundwater table, peat growth and overbank deposition
  • Hypopycnal plume and marine currents:
    • Rivers deliver sediment and water to the sea, where the river momentum spreads the suspended sediment in a plume. Multiple plumes and longshore current hydrodynamics are calculated using a potential flow routine. Subsequent sedimentation due to fallout uses the removal rate principle after Syvitski et al (1988).
  • Wave resuspension and crosshore transport;
    • Waves are modelled using linear Airy and Stokes wave theory. Deepwater wave height is derived from a Gaussian distribution to represent natural storm variability The asymmetric waves preferentially transport the sands (bedload fraction) shorewards and the fines (suspended load fraction) offshore. In combination with a littoral drift routine this allows waves to rework and transport sediments.
