Tool
Advanced CIRCulation (ADCIRC)
Description
ADCIRC is a system of computer programs for solving time dependent, free surface circulation and transport problems in two and three dimensions. These programs utilize the finite element method in space allowing the use of highly flexible, unstructured grids.
Documentation and an associated wiki can help developers code tools that simulate tidal circulation and storm surge propagation over large computational domains.
Typical ADCIRC applications include the following:
- prediction of storm surge and flooding
- modeling tides and wind driven circulation
- larval transport studies
- near shore marine operations
- dredging feasibility and material disposal studies
