Morphodynamic modelling of wave reworking of an alluvial delta and application of results in the standard reservoir modelling workflow

Two decades of numerical modelling to understand long term fluvial archives: Advances and future perspectives

“…However, recent work suggests that model 'calibration' may at best only be site specific and may require re-calibration for changing climates (Coulthard and Skinner, 2016) and other factors. Other unexpected results are related to new insights in the key role of initially unconsidered factors such as the role of cohesive sediment and sediment transport mechanism on floodplain dynamics and deltaic channel pattern, or the role of sediment reworking in determining delta stratigraphy (Edmonds and Slingerland, 2010;Hillen et al, 2014;van der Vegt et al 2016). Additional unforeseen outcomes relate either to the relative unimportance of a considered process such as tillage erosion (Baartman et al, 2012a) or the long-lasting effects in the fluvial record due to a temporary local base level change as a result of lava damming (Van Gorp et al, 2013;.…”

“…The open source Delft3D model (e.g. Geleynse et al, 2010Geleynse et al, , 2011Edmonds and Slingerland, 2010;Hillen et al, 2014) puts emphasis on 3D delta stratigraphical records. The model has been developed in the engineering world over the past 30 years (Lesser et al, 2004;Roelvink, 2006), where many flume studies have contributed to the calibration of numerical formulations included in the hydrodynamic and sediment transport components of the model.…”

Source to sink reconstruction of a Holocene Fjord‐infill: Depositional patterns, suspended sediment yields, wind‐induced circulation patterns and trapping efficiency for Lake Strynevatnet, inner Nordfjord, Norway

“…Data was processed using Delft3D (version 4.02), which is an open‐source software package developed by Deltares designed to simulate three dimensional hydrodynamics, sediment fluxes and morphologic changes in fluvial, lacustrine and marine settings (Lesser et al , ; Hillen et al , ; van der Vegt et al , ).…”

The impact of clastic syn‐sedimentary compaction on fluvial‐dominated delta morphodynamics

“…This work builds on previous research using Delft3D that simulates delta development and characterises the impact of grain size on delta evolution (Burpee et al, 2015;Caldwell & Edmonds, 2014;Edmonds & Slingerland, 2007, 2008, 2010Geleynse et al, 2010Geleynse et al, , 2011Hillen et al, 2014;van der Vegt et al, 2016van der Vegt et al, , 2020. Previous compaction studies using Delft3D, which focus on a shorter timescale model evolution, were used to guide the implementation of the compaction algorithm into Delft3D (Winterwerp et al, 2018;Zhou et al, 2016).…”
