Versions of ADCIRC
2D-DI
The ADCIRC 2DDI is a two-dimensional depth-integrated model that solves sea
surface elevation and depth-averaged velocity U and V. (Luettich et al. 1992)
ADTRANS
The ADCIRC 2D Tranport is a two-dimensional depth-integrated model that solves
sea surface elevation , depth-averaged velocity U and V, and depth-averaged
concentration (S, T or C) (Scheffner, 1999)
3D-VS
(currently used)
The three-dimensional model, ADCIRC 3D-VS (Velocity Solution) applies a modesplitting technique to solve the vertical profile of horizontal velocity u and v (Luettich et
al., 2002)
