For general information, see the ADCIRC site, ADCIRC FAQ, or the ADCIRC Wikipedia page. For model documentation not yet available on the wiki, see the ADCIRC site. New content is being continuously added to the ADCIRCWiki, and material from the main ADCIRC site will be gradually transitioned over to the wiki.
Idealized Channel Problem
This example tests ADCIRC version 55 (and beyond). It tests the simulation of a diurnal tide on a sloping beach with a channel along its centerline (adapted from[1]). The test finishes in about 8 minutes in parallel ADCIRC (2 processors) for 6 hours of simulation. Find the test at the GitHub test suite.
Mesh
The mesh is comprised of 64,415 vertices and 127,784 triangular elements, with resolution in the 10-60 m range. The mesh is symmetrical in the east-west direction so that the east and west lateral boundary vertices match for the application of the periodic lateral boundary conditions. An elevation specified boundary condition and generating-absorbing sponge layer is prescribed at the southern end of the domain.
