Metric-Resolution 2D River Modeling at the Macroscale: Computational Methods and Applications in a Braided River

Metric-Resolution 2D River Modeling at the Macroscale: Computational Methods and Applications in a Braided River

Metric resolution digital terrain models (DTMs) of rivers now make it possible for multi-dimensional fluid mechanics models to be applied to characterize flow at fine scales that are relevant to studies of river morphology and ecological habitat, or microscales. These developments are important for...
