TEST HEAD CASE
This test case checks the ability of a model to represent 1) simplified alongshore transport, 2) implementation of open boundary conditions, and 3) resuspension, transport, and deposition of suspended-sediment. This case is based on Signell and Geyer (1991) Journal of Geophysical Research 96(C2): 2561-2575.
Domain
The model domain is open at the east and west ends, has a straight wall at the north end, and a parabolic headland along the south wall.
