construct the model
construct grid
create topography
hydraulic structures
hydraulic model
define numerical parameters (e.g. Dt)
define physical parameters
roughness
eddy viscosity & closure model
initial condtions define boundary conditions
define outputs
morphological model
define fixed layers (sediment thickness)
define parameters
sediment size
sediment transport formula
morphological boundaries
morphological acceleration factor
other models (e.g. WAQ)
analysis absolute
comparative
Data for modelling
• Model Construction data make a model
• e.g. land boundaries, bed levels, etc.
• Boundaries (forcing) run the model
• Needed to run the model
• e.g. river discharge
• Observations confidence in the model
• Needed to calibrate and validate
• e.g. water level at stations

Modelling strategy
• Models to mimic reality think why!
• Models to answer a question/group of questions
• Make a strategy make your model fit for purpose
• Define area to model
• Define boundaries
• Define important processes
• Define time-scale
• Define analysis scenarios
• Make your model …
• Attention to grid construction
• Boundary conditions
• Settings
• Analyse and present results

Strategy for the DVR-Model
• Requirements
• Morphological model for the Rhine
• Analyse seasonal and long-term
variations
• Evaluate impact of measures on
reach-scale as well as branch scale
• Calculate dredging volumes
• Model is fast (run 40 years in a week
or so)
• Choices:
• No. of cells in cross-direction
• Choice of boundaries
• Separation between domains
• Physical process

Grid construction – optimisation 1
Source: Damir Bekić et al. (Water Resources Department University of Zagreb, Croatia)
a) Structured grid (Delft3D-FLOW) does not follow the river -> requires dense mesh
b) Unstructured mesh (D-Flow FM) Follows the river -> Coarser mesh
c) D-Flow FM allows weir schematization Coarser mesh
Levees
In (a) and (b) levees and groynes are modelled within bathymetry, while in (c) mesh is more
coarse as there is no need for longitudinal elements to be covered in bathymetry

morfac
• Repeat a yearly schematised hydrograph using a sequence of
steady discharges
• Apply a “morphological factor” to speed up morphology (same
morphological changes in shorter flow period): factor 50 to 200
