RSM Tool: CMS Fact Sheet

<div>The Coastal Modeling System (CMS) is a suite of coupled two-dimensional numerical models for simulations of waves, hydrodynamics, salinity and sediment transport, and morphology change. The CMS is identified by the USACE Hydraulics and Hydrology - Coastal Community of Practice (CoP) as a preferred model for Coastal Engineering and Coastal Navigation studies. The CMS can be used for research on nearshore hydrodynamics and sediment transport. Ongoing research includes bed-load dispersion, mixed cohesive/non-cohesive sediment transport, modeling</div><div>long-term morphology change, cross-shore sediment transport, coastal structure breach evaluation, and incorporation of dredging operations.</div>
