Review of progress in EFDC modeling research and application

This study introduces the basic principles and model equations of the EFDC model in detail, as well as the characteristics of each module in terms of input, computation and post-processing, describes the relationship between hydrodynamic, water quality and sediment modules and their main functions, and further summarizes the representative examples of the existing applications in China, and at the same time, looks forward to the improvement of the EFDC model, so as to provide references for the development and application of the EFDC model in China.
