RiverBedDynamics v1.0: a Landlab component for computing two-dimensional sediment transport and river bed evolution by A. D. Monsalve, S. R. Anderson, N. M. Gasparini, E. M. Yager

“…By dynamically coupling RiverBedDynamics with Landlab's hydrodynamic flow solver, OverlandFlow, we created a new LEM capable of simulating the dynamics of local shear stresses, bed load transport rates, and grain size distributions. Comparisons of our LEM results with analytical and previously reported solutions demonstrate its ability to accurately predict time-varying local changes in bed surface elevation, including erosion and deposition, as well as grain size distribution. …”
