SMS provides pre- and post- processing for several numeric models. These models are developed and maintained by government or commercial entities rather than the developers of SMS.

Hydraulic Models

  • SRH-2D – Developed at the United States Bureau of Reclamation.
  • RIVERFLO-2D – Commercially developed finite element model to route floods. Provides high resolution flood hydraulics.
  • HYDRO AS-2D – Developed commercially in Germany.
  • TUFLOW-FV – Finite volume model developed by the makers of TUFLOW (WBM).
  • TABS – Suite of models for solving hydrodynamics and transport problems maintained by the USACE.
  • TUFLOW – Finite difference model featuring combined 1D/2D models, very stable wetting drying, and advanced simulation management for Coastal, Riverine or Urban applications.

Wave Models

Harbor Design

  • BOUSS-2D – Wave climate, circulation from waves, and sea state using the Boussinesque equations
  • CGWAVE – Phase resolving wave reflection and refraction analysis

Wave Generation and Transformation

Other Models

  • Generic – Rather than a specific model interface, the "Generic" model interface in the mesh module is a collection of interface objects that can be configured by the user to generate specific types of data. The developers at Aquaveo work with some engine developers to utilize this tool. These engines are included in the list above. Other model developers are encouraged to contact Aquaveo for assistance in using these tools. The tools of the generic model interface can be utilized without coordination with Aquaveo. Se are aware of partial interfaces with the following:
  • PTM – Lagrangian Particle Tracking Model which tracks sediment particles based upon input hydrodynamics and wave effects.
