Sediment Visualization

The sediment bed and sediment in the water column can be visualized in the 2DH View. Selecting sediment parameters in the water column are shown in Figure 1. They include Total Suspended Sediments, Cohesive Sediment, and Non-cohesive Sediment.

Selecting sediment bed parameters is shown in Figure 2. They include Bed Top Layer, Bed Thickness, Bed Density, Bed Porosity, Bed Mass, Bed Mass Fraction, Bed d50, Bed Delta, and Bed Topography.

In terms of the sediment SEDZLJ model, the model output of the SEDZLJ Sediment Bed has a number of special viewing options in 2DH View as shown in Figure 3. The parameters include SEDZLJ Core ID, SEDZLJ Skin Friction, SEDZLJ D50 (Active Layer), SEDZLJ Erosion Rate, SEDZLJ Deposition Rate, Net Deposition/Erosion Rate, SEDZLJ Bedload Chemical Fate and Transport, SEDZLJ Bedload Flux, SEDZLJ Bedload Vector, and SEDZLJ Bedload Mass.

For the SEDZLJ Erosion Rate, SEDZLJ Deposition Rate, andSEDZLJ Net Deposition/Erosion Rate layer, it can select the sediment class in the drop-down list, as shown in Figure 4.

Time Series, Vertical Profiles, and Longitudinal Profiles are the same as the description in the Salinity Visualization.
