ELCOM (Estuary and Lake Computer Model) is a numerical modeling tool that applies hydrodynamic and thermodynamic models to simulate the temporal behavior of stratified water bodies with environmental forcing.
ELCOM is designed to facilitate modelling studies of aquatic systems over time scales extending to a few weeks, though the limit of computational feasibility depends on the size and resolution requirements of an application and computational resources. ELCOM is suited for comparative studies of the summer and winter circulation patterns, spring versus neap tidal cycles, or dispersal conditions under different flow regimes.
ELCOM can be run either in isolation for hydrodynamic studies, or coupled with CAEDYM for simulation of biological and chemical processes.
