Error with landsliding allowing landslides into -9999 cells in certain circumstances

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Running eriss2012 10m scenario


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Error on edge, water flowing into cells in -9999. Disabled landslide functions 
and the problem seems to stop. Suspect its due to error in landslide modules.

Creating config files from duplicating old ones can override option check box values

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Duplicating a config file (.xml) to use in a new simulation
2. Loading this config file and un-ticking an option that has subsidiary input 
values to fill in (Spatially variable rainfall in this case)
3. Changing the rainfall input file for one set up for uniform rain.
4. Saving the .xml config file and running the new simulation, with the 
appropriate new rainfall file.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The simulation should run with uniform rainfall input and read a rainfall input 
file with a single column of values. Instead, the values from the old config 
file are 'preserved', and seem to cause the model to try and run with multiple 
rain cells (ignoring the un-checked option box). 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
CAESAR-Lisflood 1.8a, Windows 7 64-bit.

Please provide any additional information below.
The problem is trivial to fix/avoid (although it does cause confusing output 
and is not immediately obvious what the cause is). Either create all config 
files from scratch, or remove the conflicting values in the GUI first.

Slight issue with losing discharge during operation

I've identified a small issue where in braided examples the model can lose 
small amounts of dishcarge between input and output (reach mode) this may have 
a slight (very small) effect on other runs too.

I have found the lines of code responsible, and will change them in a 
forthcoming update - that also contains some other enhancements (small speed 
increases etc..)

Suspended sediment may not be depositing correctly...

I've been updating the code recently, and noticed what I think may be a problem 
in the suspended sediment deposition section that may be leading to too little 
suspended sediment deposition - I'm investigating this and will bundle the 
results in with an updated version dealing with the other outstanding issues

Channel Modeling

Hi Professor Coulthard. 

I have a little doubt about reach mode in CAESAR.
I'm sorry if this doubt has already been made ​​clear in some paper.
I would like to know if I use just the reach model, and use just the DEM of the 
channel, and use as input the discharge of specific points (as suggested) 
CAESER will simulated the channel as a hydrodynamic model? Or I need burn the 
channel in watershed DEM and use the entire watershed.
I have special interest in sediment dynamics of the channel over long time 
scale.

Thanks a lot
Roberto

Problem when suspended sediment selected

On some sims (its only happened on one) there seems to be an error that I've 
tracked down to the suspended sediment code - that leads to elevations becoming 
no-data's. This causes some bad local problems where it occurs. Its a pain to 
find this as I thought 1.1a was well tested....

I've isolated the code I believe is causing the problems and will test over the 
next day on the example where there are problems. Will post a new .exe when its 
solved. If you are just running with bedload = no problems.

Caesar doesn't load XLM of DTM

Hi,
I've just started with this awesome looking programm but every time I try to 
load the whole project settling from XML or a single DTM in ASCII properly 
formated, the programm crashes. Error says that there was an unexpected 
exception and imput string has not the right format. I got the same result also 
in case of tutorial projects and data. I've tried Caesar versions: 
Ceasar-listflood 1.0, Caesar 6.2m and g on systems Windows 7 Ultimate 64b, 
Vista Business 32b, XP Professionl 32b and also Server 2008 Standard 32b. Is 
there some prerequisites to be installed prior using Caesar software?

Thank you for help
Marek

Stringy channels on braided rivers

Identified a problem with stringy straight thin channels being formed by 
braided river simulations at times - this may be caused by d4 routing instead 
of d8 - there is certainly a tendency to make channels running at 90 degrees..

Vegetation parameters

Dear prof. Coulthart,
I'm using the latest version of CAESAR (lisflood 1.1d) and I'm not sure I've 
understood the model imput parameters of Vegetation. In case of proportion of 
erosion when vegetation is fully grown (range 0 to 1) means when 0 value is set 
no erosion happens in areas with mature vegetation? In case of grass maturity 
(in years), does this value express in how many years vegetaion needs to be 
mature or it applies to starting conditions of vegetation. How are all the 
erosion processes influenced by Vegetation crit shear value. I'm sorry for such 
fundamental questions but I'm new in this area. Thanks.

Wilcock and Crowe sediment transport calculation wrong

There is an error in how CL calculates D50 - which is a component of the 
wilcock and crowe sediment tranport formulae. This will lead to slightly 
different totals in sediment exported and some topographic differences in where 
erosion and deposition is occurring. 

This only effects you if you are using W&C for sediment transport.

The problem can be rectified by changing line 6068 from:

Dfifty = Math.Exp(min + ((max - min) * ((cum_tot[i] - (active_thickness * 0.5)) 
/ (cum_tot[i] - cum_tot[i - 1]))));

to:

Dfifty = Math.Exp(max - ((max - min) * ((cum_tot[i] - (active_thickness * 0.5)) 
/ (cum_tot[i] - cum_tot[i - 1]))));

I'll post up an updated version of the .exe and source code.

Manning's n raster

Hi all.
Is there a way to provide a raster containing Manning's n to the flow model? My 
study area has regions with different n values.
Thanks.

Some doubts about formulation and input values

Dear Professor Coulthard.

I apologize for bothering you with my doubts.
I've been running CAESAR in watershed mode and after some tests I am with 
several doubts.
I enumerated that to be more organized.


Today I saw that there is a new CAESAR version and according to the changes 
information, version 1.2o is better to reach model. So, can I suppose that 
version 6.2m is better to Catchment model? Is that correct?

These are my doubts

1. At File Tab.

In the field generate time series output – Save file every X min, this X min 
- is the time step of the output file or is the interval of that CAESAR will 
save the .txt file in my computer?
Eg: I am using daily data, in this field I should inform 1440 min? Or Is the 
output time step always the same of the rainfall data file time step?

2. At Sediment Tab
To run the model in catchment model is it necessary inform sediment data?
If yes, there is a way to input this data as .asc like DEM, to make some type 
of spatialisation of sediment? I notice that there is the Grain data file input 
field in file tab, but I not found a file example.

2.1. If I have just three (3) types of superficial sediment, (eg: clay to 
sand), in the grain size I should put zero in the other 6 fields?
I try to made this but CAESAR didn’t generate Q.
Our watershed had a lot of colluvial deposits (debris flow deposits), with 
boulders. It is CAESAR capable to modelling this situation or capable to input 
some kind of cross stratigraphy that occurs sometimes even in fine sediments at 
floodplain?

2.2. Our watershed have a deep soil (~15m) and some reaches are cascade, that 
means that a lot of boulders, pebble and cobble. Because of this I am not sure 
about this active layer. Is there a paper that I can read to understand this 
active layer? 

3. When I run the model, in the field time (left of interations) always appear 
5.xxxxxx. It started normally and then stabilizes at 5.xxxxx, varying only the 
numbers after the dot. Is that a problem on my input rainfall data?

4. I read in a paper, maybe in Hancock (2012) or Hancock and Coulthard (2012) 
that CAESAR needs, as other hydrological models, a time of self adjustment, and 
the data must be not considered, specially Q and Qss.  CAESAR also works with 
events? What occur in this case? Is it possible to work with events in 
watershed model or short time series (1 year of 10 min data) or its better 
simulated events only in reach model?

5. There is relationship between Max # interations and Max run duration ?
If I am running since 1942 daily data, Is that correct put in Max run durations 
(69 years*365*24) = 604440hs.
In fact, I would like to use half data to calibrate and half to simulate. So, 
the ideal number is 302220 hs? And the interation number will be the same?

In the same tab, the max time step in this case will be 1444*60= 86400s?


If I don`t orientate my watershed exactly West-East, the model will not run 
correctly?

These first tests I made with a 10m DEM resolution and daily data. My watershed 
had only 16km².

I also have a doubt about the formulation. There is a threshold equation that 
allows CAESAR simulated surface (runoff) and subsurface flow. This equation use 
K (hydraulic conductivity). How CASESAR estimated it if there is no field to 
inform? There is a Pedotransfer function?


Dear professor, I am really sorry to boring you with these elementary 
questions. Thank you a lot for your time and sorry for my not so good english
