Scale problems in 3D sediment transport models and suggestions to overcome them (original) (raw)

Abstract

Sediment transport models are helpful tools to study the dispersion of contaminants attached to fine-grained sediments in the marine environment. Currently used 3D sediment transport models still fail to make good quantitative predictions. Several causes can be attributed to ...
