Abstract

Efficient river morphology modeling is needed for hydraulics engineers. Several one-dimensional software supporting sediment transports are available and widely used, regardless of their limitations. However, two-dimensional sediment transport is still not widely used in practice for several reasons. Besides the high simulation times, the efficiency of such tools is not widely accepted. This paper tests the ability of the US Bureau of Reclamation two-dimensional sediment transport software, SRH-2D, to simulate the morphological evolution of two rivers’ confluence. Even if no quantitative data are available to judge the results’ quality, SRH-2D is able to capture the trend of the observed morphological evolution for this complex case.
