Archibald-determination of runoff paths for particle simulations

Abstract

For advanced geotechnical assessment of slope stability and sediment transport using particle simulations, preparing input data in the required formats is essential. Accurate evaluation relies on the input data quality, a precise cleaned digital terrain model creation and the subsequent determination of runoff paths. This article compares runoff paths generated by the custom module – SurfaceFlow with those produced by commonly used software tools across selected sites.
