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

  • ADCIRC (ADvanced CIRCulation Model) - Widely applied coastal circulation and coastal flooding model. Developed commercially.
  • Coastal Modeling System CMS-FLOW - Suite of models that simulates a wide variety of coastal processes. Developed and maintained by the USACE.
  • FESWMS - Developed in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
  • HYDRO AS-2D - Developed commercially in Germany. Accessed through the generic model interface
  • RIVERFLO-2D - Commercially developed finite element model to route floods. Provides high resolution flood hydraulics.Accessed through the generic model interface
  • 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, & 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.
  • PTM - Lagrangian Particle Tracking Model which tracks sediment particles based upon input hydrodynamics and wave effects.
