BASEMENT Version 4.3

Dear Users of BASEMENT,

This major release introduces several new features, model enhancements, and performance improvements. Key highlights include:

• The morphological acceleration factor (MORFAC) approach in BASEHPC for speeding up morphodynamic simulations

• Coriolis force momentum source term

• Massive extension and enhancement of the suspended load module in both BASEHPC and BASEchain (1D)

• The surface reconstruction method (SRM) combined with implicit frictional term treatment for solving hydrodynamic flux in extremely shallow conditions (e.g., surface run-off).

• Improved the performance of models with nodestrings and removed the limit of 200 nodes per nodestring

• New inner boundary type for BASEchain (1D) that computes discharge from a prescribed H-Q relation.

This version also includes extensive bug fixes, hence we recommend all users to update their program as well as the user manual to version 4.3. We kindly ask you to test your models with this version and give feedback if the program exhibits unexpected behavior. The changes compared to previous versions can be viewed at the following link: https://basement.ethz.ch/download/softw … -3-0.html/

The newest version of the software system BASEMENT is available as free download on our website https://basement.ethz.ch/

Kind regards
The development team of BASEMENT
