Abstract
The aim of this paper is to evaluate a newly developed one dimensional unsteady flow, sediment transport and bed evolution model for a looped river network through a long term simulation of a real-life scenario. The model was assessed by verifying it for the Danube, Tisa, and Sava rivers in Serbia for a five year time interval. The total length of the modeled domain was 741.94 km from which 486.48 km is the length of the modeled Danube River reach, 132.50 km the modeled section of the Sava and 122.96 km the length of the modeled Tisa River reach. The simulated domain included smaller tributaries such as the Kolubara, Mlava, Nera, Pek, Porecka, Tamis, and Great Morava rivers. Due to the size of the domain that was included in the model, the work also includes extensive research regarding the available measurements, issues with measurement errors, and suggestions on overcoming incomplete measurements by developing different types of correlations. The attained results were analyzed by comparing the simulation results with measured water levels, discharges, and suspended sediment concentrations. The implemented evaluation of the results confirmed the developed model's reliability.
