Finite Volume Community Ocean Model (FVCOM) is a 3D hydrodynamic model designed for simulating coastal and ocean dynamics. It uses an unstructured grid with finite-volume methods, making it highly adaptable for modeling complex coastlines, estuaries, and varying bathymetry. FVCOM excels in simulations of ocean circulation, tides, and coastal processes, providing high-resolution outputs for water currents, temperature, salinity, and ecosystem interactions.
We currently offer two compilations of FVCOM: the standard fvcom binary and an fvcom_estuary binary, preconfigured for the Estuary test case. Users can reference the make.inc files in the package for details on the compilation modules used.
Give it a Go: Try FVCOM on the Cloud with Inductiva!
This code example shows how to run FVCOM’s default model with a debug level of 7 and 1 MPI process on a small test scenario using our API. To try it out, simply paste the code into your Python environment.
Remember to configure the simulation parameters in the namelist file for optimal results!

Compiling FVCOM: A Handy Guide to Solving Common Issues
In this blog post, we walk you through a handy guide to help you tackle the challenges of compiling the FVCOM model. We’ve broken down the key steps, like setting up libraries (e.g., PETSc), managing compiler definitions, and fixing linking errors (like those with the Julian library).
We’ve also included tips to avoid common mistakes—plus, ready-to-use files to save you time so you can get right to running your simulations!
We’ve got 20 simulators ready for you to explore.
Just one click away from running your favorite open-source simulators on the cloud and at scale!
