TIDAL

General Information:

TIDAL software package simulates the hydrodynamics and water quality behavior of large scale water bodies such as bays, estuaries, rivers, lakes and coastal waters. It incorporates the effects of a number of important physical processes on the water body; these include currents, tides, winds, gravitational and coriolis forces, bathymetry, friction, sources and sinks, and chemical reactions.

TIDAL also provides for dynamic flooding and draining of coastal lowlands.

It is a highly modular program which has been applied to a wide range of practical problems in water resource management, urban and industrial planning, disposal and management of urban and industrial wastes, environmental impact and, pollution management and compliance.

The user interface is through the conversational FREEFORM language which provides for simple English-like command syntax and allows command-line execution of the program. FREEFORM is a common language used by other ACRi software as well. Please see ANSWER Examples site to see the simple yet extremely effective way of programming thru English language. Although there are no certain plans, it is anticipated that TIDAL will be in the list of applications supported by CFDStudio environment.

TIDAL is available on any computing platform that supports a FORTRAN compiler. These include all Windows, LINUX and UNIX platforms.
