Feature arcs created in a PTM type coverage can be used to create either sources or traps.

  • Type
  • Source ID

  • Show Coordinates in Spreadesheet
  • Date/Time
  • Parcel MAss – Each parcel represents a specific amount of sediment. Combined with the rate PTM computes the number of parcels being tracked. When a specific quantity of material is being generated by a dredge or other source, this amount allows the tracking of all of that material.
  • Radius – PTM will distribute the parcels generated for this source randomly along the line. The position will also vary around the line within this specified radius.
  • Rate – A specific quantity of sediment will be generated based on this rate. The longer the line, the more sediment is added to the flow field.
  • Median Grain Size – This is the d50 of the sediment being added.
  • Standard Deviation – This phi unit defines how the grain size varies from one parcel to the next.
  • Density – This is the density of the sediment. This can be reduced to the density of water to create neutrally buoyant particles.
  • Fall Velocity
  • Critical Shear Intiation
  • Critical Shear Deposition
