RMA10 is a multi-dimensional (combining 1-D, 2-D either depth or laterally averaged, and 3-D elements) finite element numerical model written in FORTRAN-77. It is capable of steady or dynamic simulation of three dimensional hydrodynamics, salinity, and sediment transport. It utilizes an unstructured grid and uses a Galerkin based finite element numerical scheme. The WES Coastal & Hydraulics Laboratory version is based upon the work of Dr. Ian King of Resource Management Associates.
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.
