128 r.sim.sediment is a landscape scale, simulation model of soil erosion,
129 sediment transport and deposition caused by flowing water designed for
130 spatially variable terrain, soil, cover and rainfall excess conditions.
131 The soil erosion model is based on the theory used in the USDA WEPP
132 hillslope erosion model, but it has been generalized to 2D flow. The
133 solution is based on the concept of duality between fields and parti‐
134 cles and the underlying equations are solved by Green’s function Monte
135 Carlo method, to provide robustness necessary for spatially variable
136 conditions and high resolutions (Mitas and Mitasova 1998). Key inputs
137 of the model include the following raster maps: elevation (elevation
138 [m]), flow gradient given by the first-order partial derivatives of el‐
139 evation field ( dx and dy), overland flow water depth (water_depth
140 [m]), detachment capacity coefficient (detachment_coeff [s/m]), trans‐
141 port capacity coefficient (transport_coeff [s]), critical shear stress
142 (shear_stress [Pa]) and surface roughness coefficient called Manning’s
143 n (man raster map). Partial derivatives can be computed by v.surf.rst
144 or r.slope.aspect module. The data are automatically converted from
145 feet to metric system using database/projection information, so the el‐
146 evation always should be in meters. The water depth file can be com‐
147 puted using r.sim.water module. Other parameters must be determined us‐
148 ing field measurements or reference literature (see suggested values in
149 Notes and References).
150 Output includes transport capacity raster map transport_capacity in
152 [kg/ms], transport capacity limited erosion/deposition raster map
153 tlimit_erosion_deposition [kg/m2s]i that are output almost immediately
154 and can be viewed while the simulation continues. Sediment flow rate
155 raster map sediment_flux [kg/ms], and net erosion/deposition raster map
156 [kg/m2s] can take longer time depending on time step and simulation
157 time. Simulation time is controlled by niterations [minutes] parame‐
158 ter. If the resulting erosion/deposition map is noisy, higher number
159 of walkers, given by nwalkers should be used.
