Abstract
A method for simulating the evolution of a geological gridded model of an area comprising a plurality of cells, over a predetermined period of time T, comprising: a) assigning a water depth to each cell, b) determining, for each cell, a direction and velocity of a water current, c) introducing a number of particles in the model, d) transporting each particle based on the direction and velocity of the current, and e) updating the model according to the transport of each particle, wherein the current is a tidal current, comprising alternate phases of rising tide current and falling tide current, simulating the evolution of the model over the period of time T comprises iterating steps a. to e. a number of times equal to 2k, each iteration of steps a. to e. corresponds to simulating the evolution of the model over a period of time T/2k, each iteration of step b. is performed the rising tide or falling tide current, and two successive iterations of step b. are performed for each one of the rising tide current and falling tide current.
