Abstract

Mathematical modeling, although a recent science, can be considered old when the time scale used to measure its age is the information technology evolution. FORTRAN 77 has been the most popular programming language among hydrodynamic modelers over the last two decades. This language was adequate to the (low) complexity of the models, limited by the exiting computers. The fast increase of the computing capacity allowed the development of more complex and multidisciplinary models. The necessity of new programming techniques became clear. It was started the era of the Object Oriented programming. Object Oriented programming isolates different parts of the code and allows communication among them using simple and robust interfaces. MOHID 2000 is an integrated m
