Testing a mechanistic soil erosion model with a simple experiment

testing a mechanistic soil erosion model for three selected soil types from iran

hairsine and rose (1991) developed a process-based soil erosion model which described the erosion transport of multiparticle sizes in sediment for rain-impacted flow in the absence of entrainment in overland flow. in order to test this model laboratory experiments were carried out in a detachment tray using simulated rainfall. three contrasting soil types were subjected to simulated rainfall at...

A Parametric Cathment Erosion Model

The structural framework for a parametric catchment erosion model is proposed. A parameter optimization technique that provides a rational basis for the calibration of the model is developed. The adequacy of the model in representing a natural catchment is investigated.

A Soil Erosion Model Based on Cellular Automata

It is of great significance to dynamically simulate and forecast the development and evolutionary of soil erosion process. Traditionally, most of soil erosion models are essentially steady-state models. Thus, they have limitations at real-time simulation on the initiation and development of soil erosion process. Cellular Automata (CA), with a “from down to up” dynamic modeling framework, is cap...

A Cellular Automata Model for Soil Erosion by Water

A Cellular Automata model for soil erosion by water, SCAVATU, was developed. It involves a larger number of states in comparison to the previous models: alti-sidering some of the most significant processes of the phenomenon: water flow, infiltration, soil erosion by water flow, sediment transport and deposition. Simulations gave encouraging results, in agreement with the findings of other studi...
