Numerical modelling - a powerful tool

We use numerical modelling suite MIKE21 when assessing design conditions for man-made interventions in the marine environment.

MIKE21 and LITPACK modelling tools are also used to determine the immediate and long term impact of construction in terms of water quality and coastal morphology.

Numerical modelling studies

Cowi India undertakes numerical modelling studies that cover:

• Establishment of met ocean design basis for ports, harbours and marine projects.
• offshore and nearshore wave climate analysis for ports, harbours, and marine projects.
• Cyclone wave hindcast studies.
• wave tranquillity studies for port and harbours.
• Hydrodynamic modelling of tidal, wind and storm generated currents.
• long shore sediment littoral drift studies, and shore line changes caused by coastal and offshore structures.
• sediment spill and dredging impact assesment for dredging project.

 

Waves

Numerical modelling of waves is an integrated part of our coastline morphology studies and port planning.

It is also used in the planning and design of ports and harbours, design of coastal protection, breakwaters, jetties and marine terminals.

Currents and sediment transport

COWI's expertise within numerical modelling of tide and currents is used in the planning and design of ports and harbours, coastal engineers, littoral drift studies, coastal morphological processes, coastline responses to man-made coastal projects, and dredged channel sedimentation studies.
