Coupling Model

Method

UW2 coupling with badlands (built in UWGedoynamics )

• Input in uw2 (see *.py file)
• Input in badlands (see *.xml file)

Test Models

• Ex1_2D L shape model
• Ex2_2D ThrustWedge (built from Tutorial 10 in UWG by Arijit Laik, Ghosh et al., 2020)
• Ex3_2D Topography relaxation model
• Ex4_2D/3D wedge model modified from Thieulot et al., (2014)
