Sediment

Module overview

In InfoWorks ICM, sediment in pipes and rivers is treated differently by the hydraulic model and the water quality model. Here, learn how to model 1D sediment in pipes and rivers, and calculate for both erosion and deposition. Then, learn to model 2D river sediment to predict sediment transport and deposition patterns.        

Module outline

  • Modeling sedimentation within a pipe network
  • Understand modeling 1D river sediment
  • Introduction to 2D sediment modeling
  • Identify 2D sediment transport equations
  • Set up 2D sediment initial conditions
