• Ψ_5m =  -0.03
• D₅₀ = 180 μm and D₁₅ = 130 μm for Calais sand
• D₅₀ = 160 μm and D₁₅ = 110 μm for Compacted sand 
• According to the values of D₅₀, the sand type is set to "Very fine sand"
• Cohesive layers factor = 0.2
• Migration velocity = 0.0001 mm/year

The local critical profile given in Table A.4.2a from CUR113b is modeled in D-Flow Slide for both type of sand (not too medium fine and fairly coarse sand). 

Different cases are considered:

...

The soil has grain diameters of D₅₀ = 200.1 μm and D₁₅ = 100.1 μm, which corresponds to "Medium fine" Not too fine sand " soil type.

The local and average checks for all the points along the channel slope fail, so the Global check for Step 7 - Breaching fails.

The local and average checks for all the points along the channel slope pass except for one point for which the average check fails, so the Global check for Step 7 - Breaching fails.

The soil has grain diameters of D₅₀ = 500.1 μm and D₁₅ = 250.1 μm, which corresponds to "Fairly coarse sandCoarse sand/Gravel" soil type.

The local check for all the points along the channel slope fails, so the Global check for Step 7 - Breaching fails.

The local and average checks for all the points along the channel slope pass but the channel is deeper than 40m (which is not covered by the CUR table), so the Global check for Step 7 - Breaching fails.
