This presentation by Ali Reza Payandeh describes how to use the Delft3D 4 modeling suite to run a sediment and morphodynamic model where both tidal and river discharge influences are significant. The tutorial demonstrates how to forecast the fate of these deltas by applying morphological acceleration factor (MORFAC). Guidance includes (1) how to make a regular grid in RGFGRID; (2) how to import bathymetry and make a depth file in QUICKIN; (3) how to setup a model in Delft3d main menu; (4) how to add sediment fractions, boundaries, and observation points in Delft3d main menu; (5) how to apply a morphological factor to accelerate morphological changes; (6) how to run a model in the Delft3D main menu; (7) how to utilize Delft3D QUICKPLOT to analyze the results; and (8) how to use AVRISNG L3 TSS data to calibrate the sediment model specifically the settling velocity.

Note: The workshop materials presented in this session will be available at NASA's Oak Ridge National Laboratory Distributed Active Archive Center (ORNL DAAC). They are expected the second week of July. https://github.com/ornldaac/deltax_wo... #hydrodynamicmodelingofdeltasusingdelft3dthefateofdeltasdelft3dmorphodynamicmodeling
