ADCIRC is a system of computer programs for solving time dependent, free surface circulation and transport problems in two and three dimensions. These programs utilize the finite element method in space allowing the use of highly flexible, unstructured grids. Typical ADCIRC applications have included:

    • prediction of storm surge and flooding
    • modeling tides and wind driven circulation
    • larval transport studies
    • near shore marine operations
    • dredging feasibility and material disposal studies
