Abstract: The need to know how river morphology changes due to sedimentation is increasingly important as we try to predict future events. Engineers use numeric models to predict effects of changed morphology on river systems. The numerical model Two-dimensional Unsteady Flow(TUFLOW) has recently added, and is continually improving, its capability to model sediment transport in rivers and coastalsystems. This paper evaluates the new tools for modeling sediment transport presently contained within TUFLOW compared with historical, analytical and laboratory case studies.
