Source specification

You can choose between two types of sources:

·         Point source

·         Distributed source

Depending on the source type, you have to define the location of one or two points.

You have to specify the total magnitude of the source QS (in m³/s). The for­mat of the source data can be specified as:

·         Constant.
The source is the same for the whole simulation period

·         Varying in time.
The source may vary during the simulation period

If the magnitude of the source is positive, sediment is added to coastline and if the magnitude is negative sediment is removed from the coastline.
