Overview

Module Sand was the result of the accumulated experience gain by Hidromod in the framework of many enginnering projects. Many of the projects were done with a old version programmed in F77. More recently Hidromod develop a new Module using the present MOHID Programming philosophy. The concepts of this module were described an tested in detail by Carmo (2005) see [1].

Algorithm

From a conceptual point of view this module is very simple. In each centre cell (Z point) is compute the transport flows. The user to compute the transport flows can choose from a set of formulations presented below. In a second step the Zonal (or X) component flows are interpolated to the U points and the meridional (or Y) components are interpolated to the V points. Finally to estimate the evolution of the sand thickness in the centre cell (Z point) a mass balance is done. The availability of sand in a cell is limited by the depth of the bed rock.

Transport formulas implemented

In this section are enumerated the transport formulas implemented in the MOHID system. Based in the formulas characteristics and Hidromod experience the formulas can be devided by area of application:

Rivers

Meyer-Peter, E; Müller, R. (1948)

Estuaries

Ackers and White (1973)

Coastal areas

Bijker-Battachraya (1968) Van Rijn (1984, 1993) Bailard (1981,1984) Dibajnia (1992)


Main options

In this section it is briefly described the options available in Module Sand. The different options provided by the module can be defined through an input data file, similarly to other MOHID modules. The name of the Module Sand for run number x is Sand_x.dat (see Mohid GUI)

Outputs

The user in this module can output: time series of fields (hdf5 files), time series in a point () and time series of integral results for an area (boxes)

Boxes

The user can compute the sediment fluxes between boxes (or areas).

BOXFLUXES : 1

If the user wants to compute fluxes between areas needs to define a network of boxes following the ASCII MOHID format Boxes.

BOX_FILENAME : Boxes.dat 


Time series

Maps (HDF5 format)

The user can also do output of the most signifcant properties fields related with bed load (see OUTPUT TIME).
