RiverModel is a simulator for the carbon flow in the Mississippi river. The first model was written in NetLogo(see http://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/) and it took 4.5 days to simulate a year of carbon flow in the river. The goal of this project is to reduce the runtime to ~1 hour while preserving the same functionalities. We are implementing the new version in C and using Python for the user interface. The current version takes ~10 hours to simulate a year long of carbon flow.
