Version 2.7.x

(February 2017)

Minor Release v2.7

General

New Features

  • New bedload transport formulae: Wilcock and Crowe, Engelund and Hansen
    (for single-grain)
  • Definition of external sediment and hydraulic source over material index
  • Improved and extended mpm_multi and smartjaeggi_multi using hiding function
    according to Ashida and Michiue (1972) with new options to choose reference
    critical Shields parameter: based on mean, median, geometric diameter, or
    diameter of fractions
  • New logarithmic friction laws: Yalin, Bezzola

Bugfixes

  • User-defined settling velocities
  • New tag bedload_exponent used for mpm and mpm_multi, correction of Wong
    and Parker formulation
  • dynamic_depth_solver_precision: eliminated dependency on min_water_depth
  • Minor others

Subsystem BASEparse

Attention: The changes of the command file structure are not backwards compatible! Input files for v2.6 will not work with v2.7 and vice versa. We recommend all users to update to version 2.7.

Subsystem BASEchain

New Features

  • HLL Riemann solver

Bug-fixes

  • Fixed Matlab output

Subsystem BASEplane

New Features

  • New local_slope_correction concept: local_slope_longitudinal and
    local_slope_lateral suppressed, introduced local_slope_vanrijn and
    local_slope_chen
  • New tag theta_critical_default with theta_critical_vanrijn and theta_critical_yalin
  • Dynamic determination of flow curvature based on water surface inclination
  • Dynamic determination of flow curvature based on local streamline
    reconstruction
  • Hydraulic boundary hydrograph with dynamic slope in case of erosion
  • New element output momentum that returns flow intensity (water depth times
    velocity)

Bug-fixes

  • Local slope: updating local slope correction due to changed bed slope
  • Correction of zero_gradient downstream boundary condition
  • Revision of upwinding in bed load transport (bed load flux averaging)
  • Write sediment_grid.shp file to the right location (where .bmc file and result
    files are written)
  • Revision and new concept for creation and initialization of layers
    (create_new_layers)
  • Improved node_history output for grain_size
  • control_volume_type: replaced dmean by d90
  • Fix grain_size_friction on fixed bed
  • Fix high velocities in upstream BCs for inner weir, inner gate and inner h-q
    relation
  • Minor others
