Finite Volume Community Ocean Model

ID: finite-volume-community-ocean-model

The Finite Volume Community Ocean Model (FVCOM) is a numerical model used for simulating oceanographic processes. It is specifically designed for studies of coastal and regional oceanic dynamics, utilizing a finite volume approach to discretize the equations governing fluid motion. FVCOM is distinctive in its ability to handle complex geometries and varying bathymetries typically found in coastal regions, estuaries, and rivers by employing an unstructured grid system.
