Metadata

Also known as Landlab Depth Dependent Linear Diffuser
Model type Tool
Model part of larger framework LandLab
Note on status model
Date note status model
Incorporated models or components:
Spatial dimensions 2D
Spatial extent Landscape-Scale
Model domain Terrestrial
One-line model description Soil depth-dependent linear hillslope diffuser
Extended model description This component implements a depth and slope dependent linear diffusion rule in the style of Johnstone and Hilley (2014). Soil moves with a prescribed exponential vertical velocity profile. Soil flux is dictated by a diffusivity, K, and increases linearly with topographic slope.
Keywords:

Describe processes represented by the model This component calculates the flux of soil on a hillslope according to a soil depth-dependent linear diffusion rule.
Describe key physical parameters and equations Soil flux is calculated at the product of diffusivity, a characteristic transport depth, and an exponential velocity profile based on total soil depth.
Describe length scale and resolution constraints
Describe time scale and resolution constraints
Describe any numerical limitations and issues Explicit solver can go unstable, and it is not always obvious. Make sure to check resulting soil depths in the landscape to look for instabilities.
