Flow discharge and sediment transport models for estimating a minimum timescale of hydrological activity and channel and delta formation on Mars

This paper summarizes state‐of‐the‐art models for water flow and sediment transport and suggests implications for the sediment grain size distribution, transport process, and delta formation. The flow velocity in Martian outflow channels is commonly calculated from the Manning equation, which is dim...
