Numerical simulation of the erosion of marine mud

For many years HR have been applying their suite of mud transport computer models called MUDFLOW to study the impact of engineering schemes on siltation and erosion of mud in estuaries. These models are part of the HR TIDEWAY computer system for modelling tidal flows and the transport of sediment, salt, heat and pollution. This report deals with testing the representation of erosion processes in the existing MUDFLOW-2D model using experimental results obtained from the HR erosion flume.
