T-UGOm

T-UGOm (Toulouse Unstructured Grid Ocean model) is an model designed for modelling ocean tides and surges. It was part of the French national COMODO (community developments for ocean modeling) initiative.

T-UGOm is a 2D/3D ocean dynamics numerical model based on unstructured meshes. Its main distinctive features are:

• Multi-discretisation capabilities (mostly LGP0, LGP1, NCP1, LGP2, continuous and discontinuous)

• Finite volume and finite elements schemes

• Explicit/semi-implicit tunable

• Time step dynamical local sub-cycling embedded 2D/3D spectral solver for tides

• Nudging capabilities
