Sediment Transport Modeling Review-Current and Future Developments

摘要

The use of computational models for solving sediment transport and fate problems is relatively recent compared with the use of physical models. Several considerations govern the choice between physical and computational models; namely, the nature of the problem that needs to be solved, the available resources, and the overall cost associated with the problem solution. In some specific problems, a combination of physical and computational models can be used to obtain a better understanding of the processes under investigation (de Vries 1973).
