Calculator for 1D Subaerial Fluvial Fan-Delta with Channel of Constan

This model assumes a narrowly channelized 1D fan-delta prograding into standing

The model uses a single grain size D, a generic total bed material load relation and
The channel is assumed to have a constant width. Water and sediment discharge
The fan builds outward by forming a prograding delta front with an assigned forese

The code employs a full backwater calculation.

The code is contained in Module1 of the Visual Basic Editor.

The code is run from worksheet "InData".
Output is provided in digital form in worksheets "OutData" and "PlotData"
Output is provided in graphical form in worksheet "PlotofProf"
Mass balance is tested in worksheet "MassBalance"
Some tested inputs are given in "TestedInput"
