A Fluid Mud Transport Model in Multi-Dimensions
Abstract
The long term goal is to develop a robust multi-phase, multi-class numerical modeling framework for both cohesive and non-cohesive sediment transport in the fluvial and coastal environments. The objectives of the present study focus on extending a fluid mud model for boundary-layer-driven and gravity-driven transport (Hsu et al. 2007) with several new capabilities. Specifically, the objectives are to: (1) Conduct comprehensive model-data comparisons with laboratory/field observed fluid mud processes, specifically in conjunction with new MURI initiative for understanding wave-mud interaction. (2) In conjunction to NOPP-Community Sediment Transport Model initiative, the fluid model is utilized to provide parameterizations for wave-boundary-layer-scale transport processes. (3) Extend the existing fluid mud model with a bed module to enable direct modeling on consolidation/fluidization. Extend the model to multi-dimensional for various coastal and estuarine applications.
