Sediment transport model

A sediment transport model predicts how particles like sand, silt, and gravel move within bodies of water such as rivers, lakes, or oceans. It considers factors like water flow speed, turbulence, and particle size to estimate where sediments will settle, erode, or deposit over time. This helps in understanding changes to landscapes, designing infrastructure, and managing natural resources. Essentially, it’s a scientific tool that models how sediments are carried, deposited, or eroded by water, providing insights into ongoing geological and environmental processes.
