Abstract

The ongoing development of a Lagrangian sediment transport model intended for large scale use in the marine environment is presented. Since Lagrangian sediment models are uncommon, several issues in Lagrangian sediment transport modelling have not been fully investigated. Among these issues discussed are techniques to: incorporate turbulent diffusion; avoid placing particles above the free surface during long time steps; calculate erosion masses; and position and time the deposition of suspended particles. Comparison of model results to empirical transport rate formulae indicate that the model over-predicts fine sediment and under-predicts for coarser sediment.
