Description :
A prototype two-dimensional finite element flow model for depth-averaged free surface flows is developed for floodplain environments. Preliminary model results indicate that this modelling approach can be used to identify dynamic variations in the flow field parameters over length scales of the order of 10-100 m. Potentially, such data have the ability to permit detailed analysis of short-term floodplain sedimentary dynamics.
