SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires numpy, netCDF4, pandas.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the end-to-end ADCIRC workflow, enabling researchers and engineers to set up coastal simulations, run serial or parallel executions, and automatically generate post-processing outputs without manual, error-prone steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end workflow from fort.14/fort.15/fort.13 to outputs like fort.63/fort.64 and maxele.63.
  • Supports preflight checks, diagnostics triplets, and both serial and parallel execution modes with optional MPI-based acceleration.
  • Generates structured results and summary diagnostics to support validation, replication, and publication.

Quick Start

Provide domain, DEM, fort.14 and fort.15 inputs, then run the ADCIRC workflow to execute the coastal model pipeline.

Frequently Asked Questions about ADCIRC

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate ADCIRC coastal simulations from mesh setup to post-processing?

You can automate the ADCIRC workflow by providing your domain, DEM, and fort.14/fort.15 inputs to execute the coastal model pipeline, which handles serial or parallel runs and generates post-processing outputs automatically.

What file formats are required to run an ADCIRC workflow for storm surge studies?

Running an ADCIRC workflow for storm surge studies requires fort.14 mesh, fort.15 parameters, fort.13 nodal attributes, and fort.22/221/222 meteorological forcing files to execute the coastal simulation pipeline.

Can I execute parallel ADCIRC runs with MPI for tidal and circulation modeling?

Yes, ADCIRC workflows support both serial and parallel execution modes with optional MPI-based acceleration for tidal and circulation studies across coastal basins, including preflight validation and diagnostics.

Does the ADCIRC workflow support preflight validation and dynamic parameter checks?

Yes, the ADCIRC workflow includes preflight validation, dynamic parameter checks, and diagnostics triplets with robust error handling to ensure accurate storm surge and tidal simulation executions.

What outputs does an automated ADCIRC coastal model pipeline generate?

The automated ADCIRC pipeline generates structured output artifacts including fort.63, fort.64, and maxele.63, along with summary diagnostics to support validation, replication, and publication of coastal circulation studies.
