Enhancement of the NearCoM Model for Nearshore Hydrodynamics

Abstract

Our goal is to provide support for the end user community for the NearCoM model system, and to continue enhancement of NearCoM as a comprehensive model for processes in a range of nearshore environments. Enhancements would come in the form of 1. Code redesign and adoption of numerical schemes to provide for more efficient model operation on a range of computer platforms, including parallel environments, 2. Incorporation of improvements to the theoretical basis for processes described by existing modules, 3. Generalization of the Master Program environment to incorporate a wider range of process modules, 4. Better integration of the model with input from larger-scale models and measured data sources, and 5. Continued testing against available and future data sets.
