The RMA suite of hydrodynamic and water quality models form a sophisticated, robust, time series tool for the simulation of the prototype conditions and design impacts. They are very flexible models that may be used for coastal, estuarine and river simulation in steady state or dynamic mode. Assemblages of one/two/three dimensional elements may be used in the same network, thus leading to considerable computer time and cost saving in complex systems. The RMA finite element models were originally developed with the support of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Waterways Experiment Station (WES) for simulation of 1, 2, and 3-dimensional hydrodynamics, water quality and sediment transport in rivers, bays, and estuaries. These models form the basis of the Corps of Engineers' TABS modeling system.
