Abstract
This research focusses on modeling the evolution of bed form during a discharge wave for application in operational flood forecasting. The objective of this research was to analyze and predict the bed form evolution during a discharge wave in a flume experiment. We analyzed the data of a flume experiment and show that dune length is determined by development of secondary bed forms during the receding limb of the discharge wave. Secondly, three models were compared to predict the bed form evolution: an equilibrium model, a time-lag model and the physically-based, numerical model of Paarlberg et al. (2010). We show some preliminary results and show that the numerical model seems promising for modeling bed form evolution for operational flood forecasting.
