Simulation of Benthic Ripples and Transport Processes for SAX
2007
Fringer, Oliver B. | Street, Robert L.
Our goal is to provide a complete simulation code that will represent and predict the sediment transport and bed features on the continental shelf at user-specified resolution by using state-of-the-art algorithms for the physics and numerics of the simulation code. Our primary objective is to simulate the ripple climate on the bed of the inner shelf at depths on the order of 20 meters and over domains ranging from centimeters to kilometers in support of the Ripples DRI experiments and analyses. Our secondary objective is to use simulation to better understand the physics of ripple formation and sediment transport in this environment. A third objective is to create a powerful and fast parallel numerical code system by the synthesis of a number of our computational tools.
