hydrodynamic models

Hydrodynamic models are computer simulations that study how fluids like water and air move. They use mathematical equations to predict flow patterns, currents, waves, or changes in water levels under different conditions. These models help scientists and engineers understand natural phenomena—such as ocean tides, river flows, and storm surges—or plan engineering projects like dams and coastal defenses. By accurately representing the behavior of fluids, hydrodynamic models support decision-making, risk assessment, and the design of infrastructure to manage water-related processes safely and efficiently.
