ADCIRC

ADCIRC mesh in the Chesapeake Bay area used for the FEMA Coastal Storm Surge Study

The ADCIRC model is a high-performance, cross-platform numerical ocean circulation model popular in simulating storm surge, tides, and coastal circulation problems.[1][2][3][4] Originally developed by Drs. Rick Luettich and Joannes Westerink,[5][6] the model is developed and maintained by a combination of academic, governmental, and corporate partners, including the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the University of Notre Dame, and the US Army Corps of Engineers.[7] The ADCIRC system includes an independent multi-algorithmic wind forecast model and also has advanced coupling capabilities, allowing it to integrate effects from sediment transport, ice, waves, surface runoff, and baroclinicity.
