Abstract:
ADCIRC (Advanced Circulation Model) is a finite element shallow water
hydrodynamic flow simulator, based on methodology developed by Gray et al
over a number of years.  We have recently developed a parallel version of
this model, using a data/domain decomposition approach.  In this paper, we
describe the parallelization of the code, the development of pre and
postprocessors for splitting the data, and the use of a space-filling
curve algorithm for mesh partitioning.
