ADCIRC - hydrodynamic circulation model - depth-integrated, barotropic time-dependent wavel
ADCIRC Description
The ADvanced CIRCulation
model (ADCIRC), is a two-dimensional, depth-integrated, barotropic time-dependent long wave, hydrodynamic circulation model. ADCIRC can be applied to computational domains encompassing the deep ocean, continental shelves, coastal seas, and small-scale estuarine systems for simulations that require months to years time. In a single simulation, ADCIRC can provide tide and storm surge elevations and velocities corresponding to each node over a very large domain encompassing regional domains such as the western North Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico.
A mesh for use with ADCIRC
can be created in SMS using either the Map Module or the Mesh Module. The Mesh Module editing tools can be applied to these meshes, and the Map Module mapping can be used to update portions or all of the mesh. The modeling parameters required by ADCIRC are generated and applied to the mesh using commands grouped in the ADCIRC menu of the Mesh Module. Once the analysis is complete, the user imports solution files for post-processing through the data browser.
