Accelerating a fluvial incision and landscape evolution model with parallelism
Solving inverse problems and achieving statistical rigour in landscape evolution models requires running many model realizations. Parallel computation is necessary to achieve this in a reasonable time. However, no previous algorithm is well-suited to leveraging modern parallelism. Here, I describe an algorithm that can utilize the parallel potential of GPUs, many-core processors, and SIMD instr...
متن کاملControls on the channel width of rivers: Implications for modeling fluvial incision of bedrock
On the basis of the Manning equation and basic mass conservation principles, we derive an expression for scaling the steadystate width (W) of river channels as a function of discharge (Q), channel slope (S), roughness (n), and width-to-depth ratio (!): W " [!(! # 2)2/3]3/8Q3/8S$3/16n3/8. We propose that channel width-todepth ratio, in addition to roughness, is a function of the material in whic...
متن کاملFluvial erosion/transport equation of landscape evolution models revisited
[1] We present a mesoscale erosion/deposition model, which differs from previous landscape evolution models equations by taking explicitly into account a mass balance equation for the streamflow. The geological and hydrological complexity is lumped into two basic fluxes (erosion and deposition) and two averaged parameters (unit width discharge q and stream slope s). The model couples the dynami...
متن کاملPredictions of steady state and transient landscape morphology using sediment-flux-dependent river incision models
[1] Recent experimental and theoretical studies support the notion that bed load in mountain rivers can both enhance incision rates through wear and inhibit incision rates by covering the bed. These effects may play an important role in landscape evolution and, in particular, the response of river channels to tectonic or climatic perturbation. We use the channel-hillslope integrated landscape d...
متن کاملRelative rates of fluvial bedrock incision on Titan and Earth
[1] Observations of likely fluvial channels on the surface of Titan, along with Titan’s geologically youthful surface, motivate this study of comparative fluvial erosion rates on Titan and the Earth. The roles of bedload abrasion, suspended load abrasion, plucking, and cavitation are considered. Despite orders of magnitude differences in some of the physical parameters that control fluvial inci...
