Predictive Trail Erosion Model
images/hero-image-trail-erosion.jpg
Developing a coupled CFD-ML model to predict spatially distributed trail erosion risk from terrain, hydrologic, soil, and land-cover. Integrating DEM-derived terrain metrics, HEC-RAS 2D simulations, ANSYS CFD simulations, and field observations to characterize flow velocity, depth, and boundary shear stress and identify dominant erosion mechanisms.
