Model help:Plume

Plume

Plume models a hypopycnal sediment plume draining from a river mouth into a lake or the ocean

Model introduction

Plume simulates the sediment transport and deposition of several grainsize classes from a river mouth entering into a marine basin by creating a turbulent jet. The model calculates a steady-state hypopycnal plume as a result of river water and sediment discharge based on simplified advection-diffusion equations. The model allows for plume deflection due to systematic coastal currents or Coriolis force
