本文介绍了一种新的，公共领域的接口，用于模拟河流和其他地球物理流中的水流，泥沙输运和形态动力学。该界面以国际河流界面合作组织（International River Interface Cooperative，简称iRIC）命名，该组织构建了该界面，并在iRIC中包含了许多当前的求解器。该界面对任何用户都是完全免费的，目前包含13个模型，从简单的一维模型到三维大涡模拟模型。解算器与接口的耦合是松散的，因此可以直接修改现有的解算器或将其他解算器引入系统。六个最广泛使用的求解器进行了详细描述，包括示例计算，以帮助用户选择什么样的方法可能是最适合自己的应用程序。示例计算范围从天然河流中河床演变的实际计算到最初平坦河床上小尺度底形发展的非常详细的预测。还简要描述了其余的求解器。虽然大多数求解器的重点是耦合流和形态动力学，一些求解器也专门针对提供洪水淹没预测在大的空间域。潜在的用户可以下载应用程序，求解器，手册和教育材料，包括详细的教程在www. i-ric.org。iRIC开发小组鼓励科学家和工程师使用该工具，并考虑将他们自己的方法添加到iRIC工具套件中。
This paper describes a new, public-domain interface for modeling flow, sediment transport and morphodynamics in rivers and other geophysical flows. The interface is named after the International River Interface Cooperative (iRIC), the group that constructed the interface and many of the current solvers included in iRIC. The interface is entirely free to any user and currently houses thirteen models ranging from simple one-dimensional models through three-dimensional large-eddy simulation models. Solvers are only loosely coupled to the interface so it is straightforward to modify existing solvers or to introduce other solvers into the system. Six of the most widely-used solvers are described in detail including example calculations to serve as an aid for users choosing what approach might be most appropriate for their own applications. The example calculations range from practical computations of bed evolution in natural rivers to highly detailed predictions of the development of small-scale bedforms on an initially flat bed. The remaining solvers are also briefly described. Although the focus of most solvers is coupled flow and morphodynamics, several of the solvers are also specifically aimed at providing flood inundation predictions over large spatial domains. Potential users can download the application, solvers, manuals, and educational materials including detailed tutorials at www.-i-ric.org. The iRIC development group encourages scientists and engineers to use the tool and to consider adding their own methods to the iRIC suite of tools.
