EFDC+ Explorer
A Pre- & Post-Processor for the Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code
Module Activation
EFDC+ is a fully coupled model with all sub-models — hydrodynamics, wind-generated waves, temperature, salinity, dye, sediment transport, toxics, water quality, and more — built into a single codebase. No external linking to separate sub-models or executable files is required, significantly simplifying even the most complex simulations.
EE provides a single, centralized location to activate or deactivate any module. Only enabled modules display their associated options and settings, keeping the interface clean and supporting a logical, step-by-step model-building workflow.
Default Parameters
Default Parameters
When you activate a module, EE automatically populates hundreds of relevant parameters with sensible defaults — for example, enabling the Water Quality sub-model instantly initializes all associated water quality parameters. You can then adjust these to suit your study’s specific needs.
EE also allows you to load default parameters from an existing model, making it easy to replicate proven configurations or build on prior work.
