Abstract
The TR2004 transport formulations for clay, silt, and sand as proposed in Parts 1 and 2 have been implemented in morphodynamic models to predict bed level changes. These models have been verified using various laboratory and field data cases concerning coastal flow in offshore and near-shore zones. Furthermore, the model has been applied to two complicated sediment environments concerning the flow around a spurdike in a river and the tidal flow of cohesive sediments in the Yangtze Estuary in China. Overall, it is concluded that the morphodynamic models using default settings performs reasonably well. The applied scaling factors of the sediment transport model are in the generally accepted range of 0.5–2.
