The AD model calculates the bed level change due to suspended load from
the difference between pick-up rate and deposition rate in Equation 80. The
pick-up rate and the deposition rate are also applied as the bottom boundary condition in Equation 79. The boundary conditions are specified at an arbitrary level <math>\alpha</math> above the mean bed level:
{{Equation|<math>P = \left. -\epsilon \frac{\partial c}{\partial z}\right |_{z=a} = c_a w_f</math>|3}}
{{Equation|<math> D = c_0 w_f</math>|4}}
where c = equilibrium concentration of suspended sediment at a given elevation, and z = vertical coordinate. Both c<sub>a</sub> and c<sub>0</sub> are reference concentrations defined at z = a. Because the upward flux of sediment depends on the bed shear stress, c<sub>a</sub> is determined from the bed shear stress calculated from the local hydrodynamic conditions. Representation of c<sub>a</sub> within CMS-M2D is dependent on selection of either the van Rijn or Lund-CIRP models. The downward sediment flux depends on the concentration in the upper water column; therefore, c<sub>0</sub> is specified from solution of Equation 79.

Equilibrium Bed load plus Advection-Diffusion Suspened load Transport model

Transport Equation

The transport equation for the suspended load is given by

 

(1)

Bed Change Equation

If the advection-diffusion (A-D) equation is selected to simulate the sediment transport and mixing, the change in the water depth is calculated by the sediment continuity equation

 

(2)

where is the sediment porosity, and is a bedslope coefficient.

Pick-up and Deposition Rate

The AD model calculates the bed level change due to suspended load from the difference between pick-up rate and deposition rate in Equation 80. The pick-up rate and the deposition rate are also applied as the bottom boundary condition in Equation 79. The boundary conditions are specified at an arbitrary level above the mean bed level:

  (3)
  (4)

where c = equilibrium concentration of suspended sediment at a given elevation, and z = vertical coordinate. Both ca and c0 are reference concentrations defined at z = a. Because the upward flux of sediment depends on the bed shear stress, ca is determined from the bed shear stress calculated from the local hydrodynamic conditions. Representation of ca within CMS-M2D is dependent on selection of either the van Rijn or Lund-CIRP models. The downward sediment flux depends on the concentration in the upper water column; therefore, c0 is specified from solution of Equation 79.

Boundary Conditions

There are three types of boundary conditions in the sediment transport: Wet-dry, Outflow and Inflow.

1. Wet-dry interface.

The interface between wet and dry cells has a zero-flux boundary condition. Both the advective and diffusive fluxes are set to zero at the wet-dry interfaces. Note that avalanching may still occur between wet-dry cells.

2. Outflow Boundary Condition

Outflow boundaries are assigned a zero-gradient boundary condition and sediments are allowed to be transported freely out of the domain.

3. Inflow Boundary Condition

When flow is entering the domain, it is necessary to specify the sediment concentration. In CMS-Flow, the inflow sediment concentration is set to the equilibrium sediment concentation. For some cases, it is desired to reduce the amount of sediment entering from the boundary such as in locations where the sediment source is limited (i.e. coral reefs). The inflow equilibrium sediment concentration may be adjusted by multiplying by a loading scaling factor and is specified by the Advanced Card:
   NET_LOADING_FACTOR <white space> #
where # is the loading factor in dimensionless units.
