Test Case Models

Benchmark models you can download and run in EEMS to verify and explore EFDC+ capabilities.

1D River Test Case

This model replicates a steady-state test case described in Thomann and Mueller’s paper, “Principles of Surface Water Quality Modeling and Control.”

Bijvelds Square Harbor Test Case

This model reproduces the benchmark case from Bijvelds’ paper “3D Numerical Simulation of Turbulent Shallow-Water Flow in a Square Harbor”.

Chapra 33-2 Test Case

This model replicates Example 33.2 from Stephen C. Chapra's book “Surface Water-Quality Modeling”.

Chapra AntiDiff Test Case

This model reproduces the benchmark test case presented by Stephen C. Chapra for studying the effects of diffusivity on water quality parameters.

IFREMER Marine Hydrokinetic Model

This model replicates the test case described in the conference paper by James et al., “Verifying Marine-Hydro-Kinetic Energy Generation Simulations Using SNL-EFDC”.

Neckar Dye Example

This model replicates the benchmark test case described in “Prediction of Flow and Pollutant Spreading in Rivers” by Rodi et al.

Shellfish Farm Test Case

This model reproduces the test cases presented by Kobayashi et al. in “A Population Dynamics Model for the Japanese Oyster, Crassostrea gigas”.
