test anuga bedload transport operator

[mikilterribile]

Hi everyone, I have developed an Exner-based operator for computing bedload transport and erosion/deposition. This operator seems to work well, but I would like to test it with a real case study. Where can I find data from real flooding events, including erosion/deposition measurements, as well as results from other models to compare with my own?

If my operator passes these tests, it could be integrated with the standard operators of ANUGA, enhancing the capabilities of the ANUGA library itself.

Thanks in advance for any kind of support, best regards,
ing. Michele Zucchelli.

@mikilterribile Good idea to collect some open source data.

I came across the following which might be useful (I'm having trouble getting access to the paper so can't guarantee its usefulness):
