Sediment Transport Modelling

Sediment transport modelling is the study of how particles move and interact with a fluid. It is used to understand the dynamics of sediment transport over spatial and temporal scales. It helps to quantify the rate of sediment transport, determine the erosion and deposition of sediment in a system and identify potential areas of instability. It can be used in river engineering, coastal management, and environmental risk assessment, amongst other applications. In this way, sediment transport modelling helps to sustainably manage our environment and protect resources.
