The study aims to enhance modeling of sediment transport and flow resistance in riverine ecosystems with a novel biomorphodynamic model.
Introduced a biomorphodynamic model within the open-source framework openTELEMAC.
Combined multiple vegetation friction approaches with sediment transport prediction methods.
Evaluated model performance using laboratory experiments on bedload transport through rigid vegetation.
Simulations accurately reproduce measured bed and water surface profiles.
Model performance shows low goodness-of-fit errors (RMSE ≈ 0.5–1.8 cm, MAE ≈ 0.5–1.6 cm).
Results demonstrate sensitivity of predictions to vegetational input parameters, such as drag coefficient.
