LTFATE Cohesive Sediment Transport Model

Abstract

The Long-term Fate of Dredged Material (LTFATE) model is a combined local hydrodynamics and sediment transport model used to determine the long- and short-term stability of dredged material mounds. This technical note (TN) introduces a new cohesive sediment transport submodel for LTFATE, which includes a combined current-wave shear stress calculation and a layered sediment bed model. LTFATE can be accessed via the Internet at the following address: http://www. wes.army. mil/el/elmodels.
