Summary

Researchers developed Fortran code implementing Population Balance Equations within a depth-averaged TELEMAC model to simulate microplastic transport in estuarine environments, enabling large-scale modeling of microplastic fate and distribution in coastal systems.

Fortran codes for setting up depth-averaged (2DH) TELEMAC model to simulate microplastic transport, developed at Hydraulics and Geotechnics division of KU Leuven. Source code available at: https://gitlab.kuleuven.be/hwest/telemac/researchers/pluxin/pbe_largescale
