Circulation Models

This is the ADvanced CIRCulation model. It employs an unstructured grid of finite triangular elements. It exists in both two and three dimensional versions.

This is the Generalized Environmental Modeling System for Surfacewaters originally developed at J. E Edinger and Associates. It is a 3-D hydrodynamic, transport and water quality model operating on a variable curvilinear co-ordinate system in a semi-implicit mode.

The Princeton Ocean Model (POM), a sigma coordinate, free surface, ocean model, which includes a turbulence sub-model. It was developed in the late 1970's by Blumberg and Mellor, with subsequent contributions from other people.

Dartmouth Circulation Models for the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank.

The Regional Ocean Model System (Roms) is a free-surface, hydrostatic, primitive equation ocean model that uses stretched, terrain-following coordinates in the vertical and orthogonal curvilinear coordinates in the horizontal.

DYNamic Behavior of Tidal Flow at InLETs is a powerful 1-D hydrodynamic model for riverine, estuarine, or coastal problems. Zip files are available through link buttom. Free download.

The Surface Water Modeling System (SMS) is a comprehensive environment for one-, two-, and three-dimensional hydrodynamic

modeling.
