Session ID#: 13554

Session Description:
Modeling the dynamics of surface processes, e.g., the movement of fluids, and the flux of sediment and solutes requires a multi-scale approach. From a sand grain to regional scales, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a vital tool in the understanding of competing mechanisms, their interactions as well as accurate predictions. CFD has been applied to understand processes relevant to geomorphology and sediment source to sink, such as sedimentation, resuspension and turbidity currents. A grand challenge, e.g., as has been addressed by the Community Surface Dynamics Modeling System (CSDMS), is to effectively integrate key processes of different scales through parameterizations, model coupling, adaptive mesh refinement, and assimilative methodology. The purpose of this session is to get together researchers who use CFD to tackle earth surface processes. Particularly, we welcome abstracts addressing how model development and applications at different scales can collectively improve our physical understanding and prediction of earth surface processes.
