As stated on the ELCIRC website (http://www.ccalmr.ogi.edu/CORIE/modeling/elcirc/):
ELCIRC is an unstructured-grid model designed for the effective simulation of 3D baroclinic circulation across river-to-ocean scales. It uses a finite-volume/finite-difference Eulerian-Lagrangian algorithm to solve the shallow water equations, written to realistically address a wide range of physical processes and of atmospheric, ocean and river forcings. The numerical algorithm is low-order, but volume conservative, stable and computationally efficient. It also naturally incorporates wetting and drying of tidal flats. ELCIRC was originally developed to meet specific modeling challenges for the Columbia River, but it has since been extensively tested against standard ocean/coastal benchmarks.
