EQM 001: Enhancing the capabilities of a 3D nearshore ocean circulation model

The primary goal of this project is to further develop the capabilities of the ShoreCirc circulation model system so that all users, including Naval operations planners for defense-related activities, can use it.

EQM001 Milestones—progress: • Convert code from F77 to F90• NetCDF input/output routines incorporated • API for parallelization complete – tested successfully on 2-D shallow water code• Major cleanup of code• Improvement in boundary conditions

EQM001 Deliverables• Monthly report submitted• Final report on September 31• Revised code with documentation to user community: September 31

• Funding Status: Fully funded at reduced level of $88,772 over 11/01/01 — 9/30/02

EQM 002: Parallel TABS MDS Model for Simulating Large Scale Environmental Transport Processes

Objective: To deliver a parallel version of TABS MDS model integrated with an iterative solver and preconditioner

EQM002 Milestones—progress:

• The code now has an accurate parallel iterative solver.

• The parallel code development is in progress

EQM002 Deliverables

• The work is progressing satisfactorily with no problems thus far

• The parallel code will be delivered in 09/02

• Funding Status: Fully funded at $170,665 over 11/01/01 — 9/30/02

EQM 003: Enhancements to the Adaptive Hydrology Model and CE-QUAL-ICM

In this project, we will provide enhancements to the Adaptive Hydrology (ADH) Model, a hydrodynamics code written by engineers at the ERDC, and CE-QUAL-ICM, a water quality model also developed at the ERDC. The planned enhancements include incorporation of reactive strategies and air-water models and transport methods in CE-QUAL-ICM

EQM003 Milestones—progress:

• Reactive transport module delivered to Charlie Berger in January 2001 for incorporation into ADH

• DG methods implemented for transport in CE-QUAL-ICM and ADCIRC

• Two-phase air-water model developed

EQM003 Deliverables

• Written progress reports

• Incorporation and testing of DG and other two-point, upwind schemes in CE-QUAL-ICM and reactive transport module incorporated into ADH

• Comparison to Richards’ equation model

• Funding Status: Fully funded at reduced level of $128,506 over 11/01/01—10/30/02

• P.I.: Mary Wheeler and Clint Dawson

Staffing• Mary Wheeler is FAPOC• Clint Dawson is Sr. Researcher• Phu Luong was on-site from inception through 18

Feb 2002• Jeff Hensley assumed on-site duties 15 Apr 2002• Victor Parr has been on staff since inception• Two post-doctoral researchers will be leaving in the

summer, to be replaced shortly thereafter• Two graduate students have also been employed

13-17 May 2002 Contract Year 1 Review 15

Summary

• Much time and effort spent getting contracts in place

• EQM on-site staffing in good shape

• Projects are proceeding as planned, with reduced efforts due to budget cuts

• EQM team members are highly visible in the community and involved with DOD users

• Some projects, identified as high priority by EQM users, have been cut drastically;  e.g., multiphysics couplings and conservative projections algorithms (UTPROJ)

• Funding issues have made staff retention and planning difficult
