Abstract

A description of a 3D estuary and lake computer model (ELCOM) is provided. The model solves the unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations using a semi-implicit method with quadratic Euler-Lagrange discretization of momentum advection and a conservative ULTIMATE QUICKEST approach for scalar transport. A one-dimensional mixed-layer model is extended to 3D for turbulence closure of vertical Reynolds stress terms.
