Morphodynamic equilibria in tidal systems with arbitrary planform and river discharge
Changes in the seabed of tidal systems, induced by sea level rise or human interferences, may compromise economic and ecological values. To thoroughly assess the sensitivity of the seabed to changes in external forcing, computationally cheap, finite-element-based, exploratory models will be developed to identify equilibrium beds (attractors) in basins with arbitrary planform, as a complementary tool to classical simulation models.
