Numerical Modelling in Coastal, Estuarine and Marine Environments
Course content
Using practical PC-based exercises, this course aims to provide students with a theoretical and practical knowledge on detailed hydrodynamic and geomorphic processes related to the flow of water and transport of sediment in fluvial, estuarine and marine environments. The course consists of two parts: 1) introduction to DHI MIKE software including application of the MIKE Hydro River module. 2) Numerical modelling of coastal, estuarine og marine flows and ensuing sediment transport over larger areas, using the DHI-MIKE21 model complex.
MSc Programme in Geography and Geoinformatics
MSc Programme in Geography and Geoinformatics with a minor subject
MSc Programme in Geology-Geoscience
Knowledge:
Hydrodynamics, sediment dynamics and sediment transport in fluvial,
estuarine and marine environments, relationship between
sediment transport gradients and morphological change.
Skills:
- ability to use numerical modelling to simulate hydrodynamics and sediment transport using the DHI modelling tools MIKE Hydro River and MIKE21 FM
- delimit, prepare and accomplish solutions of fluvial and marine problem complexes using MIKE Hydro River and MIKE21 FM
- critical model evaluation
- necessary basic skills to use other models within the DHI model complex
Competences:
Analyse, assess and apply results, methods, theory and data in connection with numerical modelling in coastal, estuarine and marine environments.
The form of teaching is exercises combined with ad hoc lectures. For the teaching plan, please see Absalon.
Selected book chapters and scientific papers.
MIKE Hydro River and MIKE21 documentation suite.
Please see absalon course page for details.
BSc in Geography and Geoinformatics or equivalent is recommended
The course is identical to the discontinued course NGEA09056U
