HSCTM2D

The Hydrodynamic, Sediment, and Contaminant Transport Model

HSCTM2D is a finite element modeling system that is comprised of two modules, one that can be used to for two-dimensional hydrodynamic modeling (typically riverine or estuarine) and another than can be used for sediment and contaminant transport modeling.
