LDSFL Meander

Problem

Meander morphodynamics involve interacting flow, curvature and sediment-transport effects. Reduced models are useful for exploratory simulations, sensitivity studies and understanding key mechanisms before using heavier numerical models.

Approach

• Represent a river centreline and its curvature in a reproducible Python workflow.
• Run reduced meander-evolution simulations with documented assumptions.
• Provide visual outputs and example cases for validation and review.
• Support both command-line and graphical workflows.

What it demonstrates

This project shows scientific software depth: numerical modelling, documentation, tests, a user manual, reproducible examples and honest communication of model scope and limitations.
