Computer Modeling Capabilities
GSTL staff
develops software for modeling flow, sediment transport, and bed evolution in a
wide variety of situations. Modeling techniques range from relatively simple 1-D
or 2-D vertically averaged steady flow models to direct numerical simulation
models based on the Navier-Stokes equations. Some GSTL models are freely
distributed within the Multi-dimensional Surface Water Modeling System (MD_SWMS).
This interface can be downloaded here. GSTL has a state-of the-art
PC-based network on site as well as access to government supercomputing
facilities off site.
