SUNTANS Wiki

The Stanford unstructured-grid, nonhydrostatic, parallel coastal ocean model. For simulation of nonhydrostatic flows at high resolution in estuaries and coastal seas. Requires a grid generator and ParMETIS (if run in parallel).

The basic hydrodynamic engine is outlined in the following Ocean Modelling paper: O. B. Fringer, M. Gerritsen, and R. L. Street, 2006, "An unstructured-grid, finite-volume, nonhydrostatic, parallel coastal ocean simulator", Ocean Modelling, 14 (3-4), 139-173, doi:10.1016/j.ocemod.2006.03.006
