Department of Defense Surface-Water Modeling System, Version 9

Technology

The Department of Defense (DoD) Surface-Water Modeling System (SMS) is a comprehensive software package that facilitates the understanding and management of coastal and inland waterways and wetland areas. This graphical modeling environment incorporates a suite of numerical modeling programs that allow civil engineers and others involved in hydrodynamic modeling to visualize these waterways, evaluate design proposals and alternatives, and predict their effectiveness. SMS provides tools for every phase of a hydraulic simulation including site characterization, model development, post-processing, calibration, and visualization. It provides an integrated graphical environment for performing surface flow, contaminant fate/transport, and project design evaluations. SMS, which was developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is the most sophisticated riverine, wetland, coastal, and estuarine modeling environment available today.
