ESTUARY TEST CASE
From WikiROMS
Suspended Sediment Test in an Estuary
This test case provides a fundamental check of the ability of a model to represent 1) mixing processes typical of estuarine conditions, 2) resuspension, advection, and deposition for suspended-sediment transport, 3) temporal dynamics of upper bed layer, and 4) interaction of suspended-sediment and the bed.
