As with most useful and complex models, just getting started is the main initial barrier. This section of the wiki describes the most basic scenario of running ADCIRC, using a simple test case as an example.   <strong> If the user is running ADCIRC through the SMS application, please see the SMS documentation on running ADCIRC within SMS.  This wiki does not cover that usage. </strong>

Initially, we will describe getting ADCIRC running on a simple test case in "serial" mode, meaning that only one cpu is used.  Running ADCIRC in parallel mode is moderately more complex and will be described separately.

Hey there. For editors and administrators, links to some general wiki information are provided toward the bottom of this page, while more specific editing help can be found at the "Help" link on the sidebar of this page. The following summary shows some of the major pages that need content. Blue links are pages that have been created (but still definitely need content). Red links are pages that haven't been created yet (clicking the link will let you create the page). Have fun, and welcome to the party!

A quick way to learn Wiki syntax (the source code is called "wikitext") is to go to a Wikipedia page and click on the "Edit source" or "View source" link at the top of the page. I often use | the Navier Stokes page. If something works on Wikipedia but not here, let Taylor know.
