open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

Hello all,
Our project area at the bottom is currently in an equilibrium state with minimal erosion or sedimentation. I'm considering whether we should exclusively integrate NESTOR with a telemac 3d model to examine sediment movement, similar to what the PSED model does. Since there's minimal sedimentation in the area, it may not be necessary to implement the complete morphodynamic model. Instead, we're considering utilizing NESTOR and TELEMAC3D exclusively to monitor sediment movement. Could you please comment on this approach?


ThankS for your help!

Hello SANAZ,
basically Nestor is lowering (dredging) or raising (dumping) the bottom only in an telemac2d or gaia model.
It is exchanging z and dz values with telemac2d or gaia.
While changing the bottom, the volume of the material which is moved by Nestor is balanced.Nestor itself does not know anything about the hydrodynamic or morphodymanic.

With NESTOR a bunch of actions can be defined e.g. :
dredging and optional dumping the just dredged material
(specified by: location, time, volume)
dumping a specified material => modify the grain composition in the bottom
(specified by: location, time, volume, supplied grain composition)
dredging if a water depth is to little
(specified by: location, time, critical water depth, ... )
raising or lowering the bottom to attain a specific shape of the bottom
(specified by: location, time, reference level)

This actions are executed while running a hydrodynamic or morphological
simulation.
All the parameters for the actions are set by the user in an Nestor
steering file (Action file)

Best regards,
Boris and Rebekka

Thanks Boris and Rebekka!
I am just wondering if there is any example coupling Telemac3d with NESTOR and GAIA. All the examples provided in the Nestor example folders are with TELEMAC2d.

Thanks!
