    I’m working on the development of a 2D model using a coarse DEM (20m) for a reach which has an average river width of 20m, whereas the floodplain is over 1 km at places. When i construct a mesh of 50m X 50m, it seems to run with no errors. However, reducing the mesh resolution to 25m or 20m increases instabilities. Is 50m a reasonable grid size? is there a particular guideline to fix the mesh resolution? I seem most works using 2D models are used on very small reaches and on very fine resolution DTMs.

    You need to make sure your time step is set up correctly for the mesh size you use.
