The SMS 10.0 is now available! We are optimistic
that the new features and enhancements will make
SMS more productive than ever!

The Surface Water Modeling System (SMS) is a
comprehensive environment for one-, two, and
three-dimensional hydrodynamic modeling. A pre-
and post-processor for surface water modeling and
design, SMS includes 2D finite element, 2D finite
difference, 3D finite element modeling tools.
Supported models include RMA2, RMA4, ADCIRC,
CGWAVE, STWAVE, BOUSS2D, CMS-Flow, CMS-Wave, and
GENESIS models. A comprehensive interface has
also been developed for facilitating the use of
the FHWA commissioned analysis package FESWMS.
The TUFLOW numerical model with powerful flood
analysis, wave analysis, and hurricane analysis
is now supported. SMS also includes a generic
model interface, which can be used to support
models which have not been officially
incorporated into the system.

The numeric models supported in SMS compute a
variety of information applicable to surface
water modeling. Primary applications of the
models include calculation of water surface
elevations and flow velocities for shallow water
flow problems, for both steady-state or dynamic
conditions. Additional applications include the
modeling of contaminant migration, salinity
intrusion, sediment transport (scour and
deposition), wave energy dispersion, wave
properties (directions, magnitudes and
amplitudes) and others.

New enhancements and developments continue at the
Environmental Modeling Research Laboratory (EMRL)
at Brigham Young University in cooperation with
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Waterways
Experiment Station (USACE-WES), and the US
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
