sediment transport modeling

Sediment transport modeling is a scientific method used to understand how particles like sand, silt, and clay move through water or air. It helps predict changes in landscapes, riverbanks, and coastal areas over time. By simulating factors such as water flow, wave action, and sediment properties, researchers can estimate how much sediment will move and where it will settle. This information is crucial for managing natural resources, protecting ecosystems, and planning construction projects, ensuring that we can anticipate and mitigate the impacts of sediment movement on the environment.
