Sand transport per cluster in Breach flow

(not yet ready)

 

The Advanced Breach flow graphs shows the sand transport rate along the sand slope (as a function of horizontal distance from the top of the slope), in the case an initial disturbance (initiation height) occurs.

 

Depending on slope geometry and sand properties the HMBreach module in D Flow slide computes at which initiation height an erosive  self accelerating turbidity current develops  that can result in retrogressive breach flow slide damaging the fore shore.

If this initiation height is lower than the most probable value for an accidental slope disturbance (called the allowable initiation height), the slope geometry is considered susceptible to breach flow slide. (FAILS).

 

The line in the graph increases in horizontal direction (to the left) in that case.
