MAR 512: FVCOM: Algorithms and Training

Training in the use of the unstructured grid, Finite-Volume, Ocean Community Model (FVCOM). Lectures will cover dynamical principles used to develop advanced unstructured grid finite-volume ocean models with a focus on FVCOM, as well as practical training on how to configure FVCOM for various ocean application cases. The course consists of 13 lectures and 14 project assignments, which will be arranged weekly. Students will be expected to give a presentation summarizing their findings upon completion of each project. Additionally, the instructor will conduct virtual oral examinations with individual students to assess their achievements in the course.

Textbook Syllabus

Attention Students: The FVCOM development team will be offering the FVCOM: Algorithms and Training online training course in Spring 2027. Lectures will be given in English, with texts translated into Chinese, Korean, and Japanese languages. The translations were done for Japanese by Professor Jun Sasaki at the University of Tokyo, Japan; for Korean by Professor Seung-Buhm Woo at the Inha University, South Korea, and for Chinese by Dr. Dayan Xu (Lectures 2-3) at the Southern Marine Science and Engineering Guangdong Laboratory, Professor Zhigang Lai (Lectures 4-6) at the Sun Yet-Sen University (SYSU), Professors Yu Zhang (Lectures 7-9), and Song Hu (Lectures 10-13) at the Shanghai Ocean University (SOU). The Recorded Lectures were created by Drs Lu Wang and Siqi Li at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth (UMASS-D).
