A modelling study on the morphological response of engineered estuaries to human interventions and climate change impacts, Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface. Under review

Contains:

• Mr_ref_sim_cd15_wi0: The reference configuration for both model studies (channel depth = 15m, intertidal wetland width = 0km): 
• /fm: folder with Delft3D-FM setup files of the flow and morphological module
• /wave: folder with Delft3D-FM setup files of the wave module

Usage:

• Model simulation can be then be initiated by starting "1_run.bat". Adjust the path in the bach file to the location where the Delft3D-FM software is installed. Make sure the correct version is used (2023.01)
