Implementation of Domain Decomposition in EFDC+ Using MPI
A primary function of EFDC+ is to solve the governing Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) for fluid flow and constituent transport.
Implementation of GOTM in EFDC+
Since the early development of Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC)
Implementation of Macrophyte Effects on Hydrodynamics in EFDC+
Submerged macrophytes are part of an essential relationship between the physical habitat and the biological community.
Incorporation of COARE 3.6 into EFDC+
The Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) bulk algorithm, developed by C. Fairall, E. F. Bradley, and D. Rogers
Integrating Multi-Source Spatial and Temporal Data for the Calibration and Sensitivity Analysis of a Water Quality Model in Lake Mendota
DSI developed a three-dimensional water quality model using EEMS to generate predictions of eutrophic characteristics, including dissolved oxygen levels, algal concentrations, and nutrient rates.
Kingston Ferry Terminal Propwash Simulation
Sediment erosion caused by propeller wash from ships is of considerable concern in many ports and harbors for terminal safety.
Lake Okeechobee Hurricane Simulation
In recent decades, loss of life from natural disasters has dropped considerably as we have become better prepared with respect to warnings and emergency preparedness.
Lake Washington Real-Time Model
DSI recently developed a real-time model for Lake Washington, along with a public-access model portal.
Major Changes in Eutrophication Module from EFDC+10.3 to EFDC+10.4
In EFDC+, the eutrophication module refers to modeling aquatic plants and algae, zooplankton, and the biochemical transformation of nutrients during this process.
Modeling Interaction Between Phytoplankton and Zooplankton in EEMS
Zooplankton population modeling is a significant new feature in the recently released version of EFDC+ Explorer Modeling System (EEMS 10.3)
Modeling of Cyanobacteria Vertical Migration
Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, are diverse photosynthetic bacteria that play a crucial role in Earth's ecosystems.
Modeling Sediment Resuspension in a Coastal Environment Due to Ship Traffic
Sediment resuspension occurs in harbors across the world as a function of propeller-induced water velocities, and resulting shear stress, at the sediment-water interface.
Modeling Tropical Cyclones in EEMS
A tropical cyclone is a system of rapidly rotating wind around a low-pressure center that produces extreme winds, gusts, and heavy rainfall.
Movement of Lagrangian Particles across Hydraulic Structures
The Lagrangian Particle Tracking (LPT) module in EFDC+ was developed by DSI in 2009 and has served as an effective tool for solving numerous problems in fluid dynamics.
