\begin{abstract}
TaIwan Multi-scale Community Ocean Model (TIMCOM) is a flexible ocean model for 
simulating a variety of real and idealized ocean flows over a wide range of 
scales and boundary conditions. It is the general circulation component of the 
Taiwan Community Ocean Model (TaiCOM). The mathematical formula, model 
architecture and technical details are presented briefly here, as well as the 
developed/under-developing physical features. An initial test for 3-D gravity 
overflow current and the realistic simulation of North Pacific Ocean are 
illustrated to show the flexibility of TIMCOM.\newline \newline
A user-friendly interface is developed as well to facilitate customizing, 
configuring and running practical ocean simulations. \newline \newline
Keywords: TIMCOM, Ocean Model
