The Stratified Ocean Model with Adaptive Refinement (SOMAR)

Note

This project is under active development.

SOMAR is a Boussinesq ocean model with several key features:

Simulates 2D or 3D, non-hydrostatic flows.
Can adaptively refine in space and time.
Comes with a Large Eddy Simulation (LES).
Can handle any grid stretching functions of the form \(\left( x, y, z \right) = \left( f(\xi), g(\eta), h(\zeta) \right)\).
Can include a static, vertical background stratifications of temperature and salinity.
Uses the familiar Arakawa-C grids and Runge-Kutta time integration.
Highly parallelizable using MPI and the Chombo framework.
Supports immersed boundaries (IB)
