Summary Also known as Model type Single Model part of larger framework Note on status model Date note status model biogeochemistry, water quality, Technical specs Supported platforms Unix, Linux, Windows Other platform Programming language Fortran77 Other program language Code optimized Single Processor Multiple processors implemented Nr of distributed processors Nr of shared processors Start year development 1990 Does model development still take place? Yes If above answer is no, provide end year model development Code development status When did you indicate the 'code development status'? Model availability As code, As executable"As executable" is not in the list (As code, As teaching tool) of allowed values for the "Model availability" property. Source code availability (Or provide future intension) Through web repository Source web address http://water.usgs.gov/software/OTIS/ Source csdms web address Program license type Other Program license type other http://water.usgs.gov/software/help/notice/ Memory requirements Typical run time In/Output Describe input parameters see user documentation on website Input format ASCII Other input format Describe output parameters solute concentrations as a function of time and space at user-defined locations within the modeled stream system Output format ASCII Other output format Pre-processing software needed? Yes Describe pre-processing software OTIS relies on flat ASCII (text) files for input and output. At present, a graphical user interface for comprehensive management of OTIS input and output is not available. OTIS input files have traditionally been developed on the user's local computer system using a text-based editor. As an alternative, users may fill out the web-based forms available via the Generate Input section of http://water.usgs.gov/software/OTIS/. After providing the required information, users can download the resultant input files and run OTIS in the usual manner. Post-processing software needed? Yes Describe post-processing software All output is written to flat ASCII files. OTIS output files are usually read into a spreadsheet or graphics program for plotting and analysis. Visualization software needed? No If above answer is yes Other visualization software Process Describe processes represented by the model Advection, Dispersion, Inflow, and Transient Storage. First-order loss/production, sorption. Describe key physical parameters and equations Instream mass transport based on the Advection-Dispersion equation with additional terms to consider inflow, transient storage, and chemical transformation. Describe length scale and resolution constraints Describe time scale and resolution constraints Describe any numerical limitations and issues Testing Describe available calibration data sets See user documentation available at website Upload calibration data sets if available: Describe available test data sets See user documentation available at website Upload test data sets if available: Describe ideal data for testing See user documentation available at website Other Do you have current or future plans for collaborating with other researchers? Is there a manual available? Yes Upload manual if available: Media:Wrir98-4018.pdf Model website if any http://water.usgs.gov/software/OTIS/ Model forum / discussion board Comments Introduction History Papers Issues Help Input Files Output Files Download Source
