This component forms part of a comprehensive five-day, hands-on marine and ecological modelling course to take place in Shanghai 16-20 March 2020. The component will teach you the fundamentals of 2D and 3D hydrodynamic modelling (HD) and give you an introduction on how to set up a hydrodynamic model using MIKE 21/3 Flow Model HD FM models using flexible mesh bathymetry.

The hydrodynamic module of MIKE 21/3 Flow Models HD FM provides the basis for computations of processes performed in many other modules such as sediment and mud transport, transport of heat and suspended matter, oil spill, agent based modelling and ecology but can also be used as a stand- alone application. The module simulates unsteady flow taking into account density variations, bathymetry, sources and external forcing.

Typical application areas of MIKE 21/3 Flow Model HD FM include assessment of hydrographical conditions in stratified and nonstratified waters, coastal flooding and storm surge, oceanographic circulation studies and lake and reservoir hydrodynamics.

This component forms part of a comprehensive five-day, hands-on marine and ecological modelling course to take place in Shanghai 16-20 March 2020. The component will teach you the fundamentals of ecological modelling and give you an introduction on how to develop an ecological, process oriented model using either MIKE 21 or MIKE 3 ECO Lab (classic or FM series). Depending on the level of your experience and specific wishes topics can be added or tailored course offered.

Ecological modelling is used to describe and simulated various process and phenomena of ecosystems. It is usually applied to model water quality aspects, the fate of dissolved substances or biological relations on population or individual level.

ECO Lab is a numerical modelling tool for ecological modelling integrated in both MIKE 21 and MIKE 3, which gives easy access to the equations of an ecological model. MIKE 21 ECO Lab is used for 2D simulations of shallow lakes or coastal areas with insignificant stratification whereas MIKE 3 ECO Lab 3D is applied to stratified systems in either marine areas or in deep, stratified lakes.

COURSE TOPICS

Fundamentals of ecological modelling

Introduction to ECO Lab and dialogue overview

Introduction to existing ECO Lab templates

Guidelines for ecological model development

How to set up the ECO Lab model

Calibration and validation procedures

Trouble-shooting advice

Hands-on exercises

- to construct your own basic ecological model descriptions

- to set up and run MIKE 21/3 ECO Lab simulations (classic or FM series)

TARGET GROUP AND PREREQUISITES

Professionals in environmental engineering and management in the public or

private sector working with shallow inland lakes or coastal areas.

You should have a background in applied water quality aspects and/or biology.

Experience with hydraulic modelling is an advantage but no condition.

This component forms part of a comprehensive five-day, hands-on marine and ecological modelling course to take place in Shanghai 16-20 March 2020. The component will teach you the fundamentals of 2D/3D oil spill modelling using flexible mesh and how to set up and model the fate and transport of oil using the MIKE 21/3 Oil Spill model (OS) FM.

Oil spills pose serious threats to water environments and place massive pressure on the entities that are responsible for the emergency response and clean-up operations, such as oil companies and national authorities.

The Oil Spill module simulates the spreading and weathering of suspended substances using a dedicated oil spill template. Oil spill modelling is important for emergency response planning and environmental impact assessment. Oil spill models predict the spreading and weathering processes acting on the spilled oil. Results can be evaluated with respect to the impacts on flora, fauna and selected species or habitats.

COURSE TOPICS

Theoretical background for MIKE 21/3 OS FM

Application areas of MIKE 21/3 OS FM

Basic concepts of oil spills

Advantages in modelling oil spill

Main properties of oils

Weathering processes

Hydrodynamics, effects of currents, winds, waves and water properties

Numerical modelling of oil dispersion

How to set up an oil spill model using MIKE 21/3 OS FM

Interpretation of results and visualization

Guidelines on when to use 2D and 3D modelling

Hands-on exercises

TARGET GROUP AND PREREQUISITES

Professionals in hydraulic engineering and management working with coastal

areas and or marine environments. Experience with hydrodynamic modelling

(MIKE 21 Flow Model FM or MIKE 3 Flow Model FM) is essential. Pollutant/

dispersion modelling (eg using MIKE ECO Lab) is an advantage but not a

condition.

This component forms part of a comprehensive five-day, hands-on marine and ecological modelling course to take place in Shanghai 16-20 March 2020. The component will teach you the fundamentals of wave modelling and gives you an introduction on how to set up both spectral wave models using MIKE 21 SW and wave agitation models using the MIKE 21 Boussinesq Wave (BW) in 2D, for various applications. The course also helps you predict and analyse wave conditions in ports where accurate assessment of wave impact is of utmost importance. The knowledge of the wave conditions is needed for the design of offshore, coastal and port structures where accurate assessment of wave loads is of outmost importance to the safe and economic design of these structures.

MIKE 21 SW is used for the assessment of wave climates in offshore and coastal areas. MIKE 21 SW is particularly applicable for simultaneous wave prediction and analysis on regional scale and local scale. MIKE 21 BW module is the state-of-the-art tool for studies and analysis of short and long period wave disturbance in ports and harbours and coastal areas.

This component forms part of a comprehensive five-day, hands-on marine and ecological modelling course to take place in Shanghai 16-20 March 2020. The component will teach you the fundamentals of sand transport modelling and mud transport modelling for both pure currents and a combined waves and current regime. You will learn how to set up a sand/mud transport model and simulate the sand/mud transport and morphological changes using a coupled setup with flow and wave models. We shall also discuss when to apply a 3D approach.

The ST module in MIKE 21 Flow Model HD FM calculates the sediment transport capacity, the initial rates of bed level changes and the morphological changes for noncohesive sediment (sand) due to currents or combined currents/waves. The MT module calculates the erosion, transport, settling and deposition of cohesive sediment. Mechanisms such as flocculation and resuspension are also accounted for.

Typical applications include the ability to predict sediment transport and resulting morphological changes together with suspended sediment concentration along coasts and in estuaries. This will support the investigation and optimisation of coastal and estuarine infrastructure projects.

COURSE TOPICS

Fundamentals of sand and mud transport modelling

Applications of MIKE 21 ST FM and MIKE 21/3 MT FM

Specifying sediment/particle properties

Generating sand transport tables

Calculating sediment transport

Factors for when to apply a 3D approach

TARGET GROUP AND PREREQUISITES

assessment in coastal, estuarine and coastal areas.

It is required that participants have a basic knowledge of the flexible mesh

modelling complex either through experience or through following the course
