A coupled sediment transport and flooding landlab experiment. Still under construction, but working notebook is named fluvial_group_clean.ipynb - look in there for latest, working advances!
Learning Objectives:
A. Software engineering objectives
Through implementing this coupled notebook, students will be able to design a jupyter notebook to:
- Introduce two model grid types (network and rectilinear)
- Connecting these two grids by layering them on top of each other.
- Connecting two rectilinear grids by having output of one feed into the input for another.
B. Fluvial geomorphology objectives
Given a structured Jupyter notebook with parameters that can vary, students will have the opportunity to explore the synergistic effects of:
- rainfall intensity
- rainfall distribution
- sediment supply
- infiltration properties on overbank flow in a floodplain
