OVERVIEW
The dataset contains the input files of 265 simulations using Delft3D Flexible
Mesh (DFM) in which estuaries were designed using a parametric design. Every
estuary design was based on thirteen (13) input parameters: three (3) 
parameters to describe the boundary conditions, and ten (10) for the 
geomorphological characteristics. The simulations are grouped in seven (7)
sets of estuaries based on their focus:
 1. height (N=20);
 2. lmr (N=26);
 3. macro (N=51);
 4. micro (N=51);
 5. pm (N=51);
 6. volume (N=15);
 7. wm (N=51).
Model simulations export only the last day of the simulated period, focusing
on the quasi-steady state response. Model simulation periods differed per
estuary, based on the spin-up period: simulation periods ranged 8-60 days.

CONTENTS
- input/*:
  Input data for Delft3D Flexible Mesh simulation per estuary (folder-names
  as used above), per run ('run${0000}'), resulting in 265 folders with input
  data.
  
DATA FORMAT
- input/*/run${0000}/*:
  See documentation of Delft3D Flexible Mesh for input files and types.

DATA STRUCTURE
The input data is structured as a single, stand-alone Delft3D Flexible Mesh
model per folder ('run${0000}'). Every folder contains all the relevant input
files required to execute the model simulation.
