A method for modelling the formation of a sedimentary area is disclosed, comprising: •—a setup step comprising defining a geological gridded model of the area comprising a plurality of cells, and setting a reference water level, •—a step of simulating the evolution of the model over a period of time, comprising: •a. assigning a water depth to each cell, •b. determining, for each cell, a direction and velocity of a water current, •c. introducing at least one particle in at least one cell of the model, •d. transporting each introduced particle in the model, based on the computed direction and velocity of the water current, comprising displacing the particle to a neighboring cell or depositing the particle in the cell, and the determination whether the particle is displaced or deposited depends on a particle granulometric class and the velocity of the water current applied to the particle, •e. updating the geological gridded model of the area according to the transport of each introduced particle.
