DELFT-3D

DELFT3D is a fully-integrated two or three-dimensional compound modelling system. It simulates the flows, waves, sediments, morphological developments and water quality aspects.
The sediment transport module models bottom and suspended transport of sediment separately using a variety of formulae. The effects of wave motion on transport magnitude and direction are included.
The morphological module computes bottom changes due to transport gradients and various types of boundary conditions. It can be run in a time-dependent way (coupling of hydrodynamics with computed bottom changes) or in a time-independent mode.
In the time dependent mode, animation’s can be made of the bottom development over several years.

DELFT-3D has been developed by WL|Delft Hydraulics.
More background information on this modelling system can be found on their DELFT-3D-internet pages.
