ADCIRC File Formats

Input Files Contributor needed

Required: Every ADCIRC run requires the following two input files:

  • fort.14 file - Grid file: Defines the ADCIRC triangular finite element grid
  • fort.15 file - Parameter file: Sets runtime parameters, frequency-dependent boundary forcing, and output options

Optional, frequently used, depending on simulation configuration:

  • fort.13 file - Nodal Attribute file: Defines parameters (e.g., Mannings N, canopy cover) that can be set at specific nodes.
  • fort.22 file - Wind forcing file. The specific format of this file depends on the wind input format. See the NWS parameter in the fort.15 file description.

Optional, depending on simulation forcing configuration:

  • For coupled SWAN runs:
    • fort.26 file - SWAN parameter file. Same format as a traditional SWAN input file, but with "SWAN unstructured grid" commands specific to the coupled ADCIRC+SWAN code.
    • swaninit file - SWAN init file. This is the same as in a traditional SWAN run.
