Multi-scale simulation of fluvio-deltaic and shallow marine stratigraphy
We present a parameterization of fluvio-deltaic drainage network evolution and alluvial architecture in a basin-scale 2-DH model. The model setup is capable of producing convergent and divergent channel networks. Major elements are the alluvial-ridge aggradation and the coupled overbank deposition, the dimension and style of the channel belt and the sub-grid stratigraphic expression. Avulsions ...
متن کاملConditioning channel switching for a 3-D fluvio-deltaic process model
One of the problems in modelling stratigraphy and long-term morphology of fluvio-deltaic systems is defining the location of avulsions and bifurcations. Avulsion is a sudden abandonment of the channel belt; it induces switches of the entire main channel (Allen, 1965). The rapidity with which channel switches, crevasses and bifurcations occur varies from instantaneous, relevant for civil enginee...
متن کاملBackwater and river plume controls on scour upstream of river mouths: Implications for fluvio-deltaic morphodynamics
[1] Sediment flux from rivers to oceans is the fundamental driver of fluvio-deltaic morphodynamics and continental margin sedimentation, yet sediment transport across the river-to-marine boundary is poorly understood. Coastal rivers typically are affected by backwater, a zone of spatially decelerating flow that is transitional between normal flow upstream and the offshore river plume. Flow dece...
