Telemac numerical modelling system for free surface hydrodynamics, sedimentology, water quality, waves and underground flows, developed by EDF-DRD and distributed by SOGREAH.
DHI (Danish Hydraulics Institute) Marine Software Products consist of a wide array of professional simulation tools including tools that support the modelling process and visualization of results.
The Introductory Generalized Longitudinal, Lateral, Vertical Hydrodynamic and Transport system (IntroGLLVHT) is three dimensional hydrodynamic and water quality modeling software incorporated in the ASCE Workbook (Edinger, 2002) has been used for a variety of preliminary project case studies.

Delft3D by Deltares | Delft Hydraulics is a generic integrated 2D/3D modelling suite for flow, waves, morphology, water quality and ecology. The FLOW module simulates non-steady flow (sigma- and z-layer modelling) and transport phenomena resulting from tidal and meteorological forcing on a curvilinear, boundary fitted grid (cartesian or spherical). It is includes features like structures (including dynamic control), salinity/temperature stratification and HLES.
Stanford Unstructured Nonhydrostatic Terrain-following Adaptive Navier-Stokes Simulator (SUNTANS) is a nonhydrostatic, unstructured-grid, parallel, coastal ocean simulation tool that solves the Navier-Stokes equations under the Boussinesq approximation with a large-eddy simulation of the resolved motions. Prof. Fringer of Stanford has a "Users Guide" (examples and how-to's) for SUNTANS as well as some other SUNTANS odd and ends.
The SHYFEM (Shallow water HYdrodynamic Finite Element Model) model is a freeware and open source program package that can be used to resolve the hydrodynamic equations in lagoons, coastal seas, estuaries and lakes. The program is written in Fortran 77 and uses Finite Elements for the resolution of the hydrodynamic equations. These finite elements, together with an effective semi-implicit time resolution algorithm, makes this program especially suitable for application to a complicated geometry and bathymetry.
CMS-Flow is a component of the Coastal Modeling System (CMS). Until 2007, it was developed under the name M2D. At that point in time, it was revised, file formats were updated for better flexibility and expandability, and it was incorporated into the CMS suite. It is a finite-volume numerical engine which includes the capabilities to compute both hydrodynamics (water levels and current flow values under any combination of tide, wind, surge, waves and river flow) sediment transport as bedload, suspended load, and total load, and morphology change. For more information on the model itself, refer to the users manual published by the USACE-ERDC.
