Summary Also known as Model type Modular Model part of larger framework Note on status model Date note status model flow dynamics, Technical specs Supported platforms Unix, Linux Other platform Programming language Fortran77, Fortran90 Other program language Code optimized Multiple processors implemented Nr of distributed processors Nr of shared processors Start year development 1999 Does model development still take place? No If above answer is no, provide end year model development 2004 Code development status When did you indicate the 'code development status'? Model availability As code Source code availability (Or provide future intension) Through web repository Source web address http://chinacat.coastal.udel.edu/~kirby/programs/nearcom/registration.html Source csdms web address Program license type GPL v2 Program license type other Memory requirements -- Typical run time -- In/Output Describe input parameters See documentation. Input format ASCII Other input format Describe output parameters See documentation. Output format ASCII Other output format Pre-processing software needed? No Describe pre-processing software Post-processing software needed? No Describe post-processing software Visualization software needed? Yes If above answer is yes Matlab Other visualization software Process Describe processes represented by the model NearCoM predicts surface waves and wave-induced nearshore processes such as nearshore circulation, sediment transport and morphological changes. Describe key physical parameters and equations Wave equations, wave-averaged circulation equations and equations for bedload and suspended-load sediment transport. Describe length scale and resolution constraints Nearshore regions from shoreline to 10 meter water depth. Model resolution depends on specific modules. Describe time scale and resolution constraints Hours to months. Describe any numerical limitations and issues Wave modules have an automatic grid refinement feature. Circulation modules have two kinds: CFL limited and CFL-free schemes. Testing Describe available calibration data sets Duck 94 data set and laboratory experiments. Upload calibration data sets if available: Describe available test data sets http://www.frf.usace.army.mil/ Upload test data sets if available: Describe ideal data for testing Haas, K. and Svendsen, I.
