  • 3D stochastic beach slope modelling

    In the previous tutorial, a stochastic slope model based on the approach presented by Seddon et al (2015) and implemented for a simple 2D deposition model.  In this tutorial we’ll take the same model and implement it for 3D tailings deposition. Seddon, KD, Pirouz, B & Fitton, TG 2015, ‘Stochastic beach profile modelling’, in R…

  • Defining tailings beach slopes within a script

    If you’re writing a deposition script and want to vary the beach slopes of tailings (perhaps for sensitivity analysis), there are a couple of ways to do it. If there’s a specific set of slopes that you’re wanting to run, then it might be easy to simply define a number of different tailings streams in…

  • Parsing multi-stream deposition results using the Muk3D API

    The Muk3D Python API provides a convenient function for getting information about deposition runs (the same information that is written to the output window) and then incorporating that data in your script, perhaps to pass results back to Excel, or use as starting points for further loops within the script. The function can be accessed…

  • Getting tailings deposition volumes from a spreadsheet

    This article shows a simple deposition model where the deposition volumes, pond volumes, and elevation guesses are taken directly from an Excel spreadsheet and inserted into a multi-stream deposition form. The spreadsheet A basic spreadsheet has the deposition volumes, beach elevation guess, pond elevation, and pond elevation guess for each timestep in the simulation.  What…
