Hydralab+ Deliverable D8.3 Protocols for scaling morphodynamics in time

This deliverable reviews the current knowledge and know-how regarding the scaling of time-dependent morphodynamic processes in physical laboratory studies, to address the climate change related evolution of different kinds of aquatic environments ranging from fluvial to coastal systems. Based on this review, protocols are derived to aid with the design and the determination of time-scales of physical models where sediment transport processes and the morphodynamic evolution of aquatic environments are in the focus. The results from this deliverable shows that well designed movable bed models are still and will further be a valuable tool for studying complex morphodynamic processes and features across a wide range of spatial and temporal scales for different river channel morphologies and coastal environments.
