A small apology
Things have been a little too quiet on this blog for a little too long... in part because I am investigating other platforms (hello LinkedIn!). However, I have added a link to the forthcoming DHI UK & Ireland Symposium 2016 (top right) and will keep the blog live while it's future is decided. In the meantime, thanks to everyone for their support. I hope you continue to find the information here useful (one or two new posts may spill into this blog from time to time too!).

The session will be led by global leaders in the field, and will be illustrated will real life case studies detailing how forecasting systems have been designed, implemented and are in operational use today; providing forecasts, warning and informing the control of flood defences or operational processes in order to optimise capacity of sewerage infrastructure.
There is now under two weeks to sign up for this free event!
The loose programme for the day is outlined below:
- Introduction
- Slow Response Runoff Modelling and ‘Real Time’ Simulations – A Swedish Perspective (Andy Wilson, DHI Sweden) Andy Wilson (from DHI Sweden but a native of Scotland) will give an update to a presentation he delivered at the CIWEM Urban Drainage Group in November 2014 where he talked about modelling of slow response runoff, in particular focusing on long term/continuous simulations (rather than event based hydrology). Andy will illustrate his presentation with applications from both Sweden and Scotland, and will talk about the importance of Rainfall Dependent Infiltration (RDI).
- Urban flood forecasting Use of total catchment hydrology (including groundwater with MIKE SHE)
- Walkthrough on the building of a modular, on-line riverine flood forecasting system (equally applicable to urban networks and marine applications) During this session we will show you the processes you would need to follow in order to go from a standalone model (such as a 1D or a 2D hydraulic model), to a live operational flood forecasting system. Using the example of an existing MIKE11, we will consider simplifications that may need to be made to the model in order to make the model suitable for flood forecasting. That revised model will then be taken into the MIKE Customised platform. From there we will look at boundary conditions and in particular how to provide live feeds into the flood forecasting platform. This will then allow us to use the hydraulic model in flood forecasting mode. From here we will show how to stream the flood forecasting results live online.
- Scalability of MIKE CUSTOMISED technology Introduction to information management systems (making data from other models more useful and valuable)
- Innovative flood forecasting technologies Probabilistic forecasting with stochastic structures in quasi-2D networks
- Discussion on Marine forecasting applications (coastal flooding, harbours and shipping, etc) Throughout the day there will the opportunity to discuss the concepts discussed in your particular context and potential application.
This part of the day will introduce the concept truly integrated catchment modelling, using MIKE SHE. The session will discuss the importance of groundwater in flood forecasting projects.
Rainfall Radar integration (city-wide urban forecasting)
We will demonstrate how operational real-time forecasting, warning and control can informed by high resolution Local Area Weather Radar (LAWR). LAWR can provide distributed rainfall measurements in a spatial resolution ranging from 500x500 m to 100x100 m, with a 5 minute or 1 minute time, up to a distance of 20 km from the radar (for quantitative estimation). It can also provide an online animation of rainfall within the complete LAWR range.
MIKE CUSTOMISED Real-time examples
Example of on-line river forecasting system
We will take the opportunity to look at an existing on-line river forecasting system that has been developed and currently operational on a day to day basis.
This session will cover IMS, in particular showing how data from a wide range of technology platforms and vendors can be integrated into our systems.
This session will consider probabilistic flood modelling using large scale, quasi-2D river and flood-cell networks with stochastic structures in MIKE 1D (our new MIKE 11 engine).
Fast 2D solvers (simplified numerical schemes and high performance computing)
This session will cover both simplified numerical schemes and high performance computing (using GPU cards and/or Linux clusters) options available to you.
Lead trainer
Ole Larsen (DHI) with support from Torben Strange Jensen and Steve Flood
You should leave the day with a solid understanding of the technology available, and the steps you would need to take in order to move your project forward. You can also meet our experts and start discussion with potential collaborators.
What do you need to do next?

Foundation course in the numerical modelling of waves and tides (Understanding the Coastal Ocean)
We have received a lot of interest in the forthcoming ‘Foundation course in the numerical modelling of waves and tides (Understanding the Coastal Ocean)’ training course. Feedback from interested parties - including those who have already signed up for the course - suggests that the course was originally scheduled too early in the new year. As such, we have taken the difficult decision to reschedule the course for later in the year (we would tentatively propose a date in June 2015).
We will take this additional time to review the course content to ensure that it best serves those registered (particularly those participants from UK and Ireland Consultants) - the course has been designed to teach participants numerical modelling in the marine environment using MIKE 21; reinforcing hands on exercises with robust theory.
In the meantime, if you are interested in attending the course, please e-mail sjf@dhigroup.com. For those participants who have already registered, we will take your interest forward and keep you informed.

SI Ocean Project: Tidal & Wave Energy
Share your data with internal and external clients with the help of MIKE CUSTOMISED! The above example demonstrates on-line access to DHI wave and tidal flow model simulations for energy resource scoping studies - view the interactive map at http://si-ocean.dhigroup.com/map
In 2011, 3.4 MW of wave and tidal energy devices in advanced stages of technology development had been tested across Europe. The International Energy Agency Ocean Energy Systems (OES-IA) vision document, "An International Vision for Ocean Energy”, has forecasted a global wave and tidal deployment potential of 337GW by 2050. Reaching these deployment targets would see long-term benefits including a reduction in carbon emissions, greater security of supply, and economic benefits through job creation and inward investment. If Europe is to maintain a global lead in ocean energy and gain the benefits associated with meeting these targets, an aggressive deployment trajectory will be required. Read more >>>

Understanding the Coastal Ocean: A foundation course in the modelling of waves and tides
Date: 19th to 21st January 2015
Venue: Queen’s University, Belfast, UK
Cost: GBP 795 excl. VAT (discounted rate of GBP 675 excl. VAT for registered students)
Registration: http://www.theacademybydhi.com/course-sessions/understanding-the-coastal-ocean-26600004-03
THE ACADEMY by DHI and Queen’s University, Belfast have designed a three day hands-on foundation course to give delegates a basic introduction to the science behind wave and tidal models. The course is targeted at either early career professionals or those changing disciplines who wish to understand both the underlying processes and their practical application in engineering consultancy. The course outline is shown below:
Day 1 Morning: Theoretical Background & Engineering Considerations of Tides
- how are tides generated (general ocean circulation, Coriolis, tide-producing forces)?
- why do tides vary around the world (tidal constituents, tidal analysis, shallow water harmonics)?
- how does the ocean interact with its boundaries (bed friction, edge friction, wetting/drying, wind forcing, thermal/saline exchange)?
- how to define model domain (tidal excursion, flowfield considerations, importance of vertical datum)
- where to get data from (measurements, data sources, data types)
- how to improve confidence in your model (calibration and validation)
- an introduction to the model interface (physical parameters, what is eddy viscosity, tunable parameters)
- creating a new fine-scale model (mesh, boundaries)
- tuning your fine-scale model (calibration and validation)
- how are waves created and modified (basic wave theory, interaction with boundaries, processes in deep and shallow water)
- introduction to wave spectra (wave energy distribution, parameterisation of wave climate)
- wave measurement methods (interpreting observations)
- spectral wave modelling (fully represented and parameterised processes, assumptions, model domain)
- an introduction to the model interface (solution schemes, consideration of formulation options)
- convergence information (understanding its use)
- creating a new fine-scale model (boundaries)
- understanding and improving your wave model results (how to spot issues, calibration and validation)
- introduction to the coupled model
We have designed the course to have a wide field of application and therefore anticipate a high level of interest so don’t miss out, book your place today!

Welcome to DHI UK
DHI is an independent, international consulting and research organisation with the global objective of advancing technological development and competence with respect to water, in all of its environments.
Worldwide, we offer a wide range of consulting services and leading edge technologies, software tools, environmental laboratories, and physical model test facilities, as well as field surveys and monitoring programmes. Designated as a not-for-profit organisation, DHI is able to invest a considerable portion of its resources in research and development. Today we co-operate with many Universities, and research organisations, and are recognised globally for our innovation and expertise.
In the UK, DHI offers niche or specialist consultancy services in the water and environment market to government agencies, commercial entities and selected research organisations. We fulfil a research based specialist advisor role; a ‘Consultant to the Consultants’. We also supply and support the renowned MIKE by DHI suite of integrated water modelling tools.
MIKE by DHI software is the result of years of experience and dedicated development and has, in many regions, become the standard modelling tool. It transforms our science into practice and gives you the competitive edge and, through the DHI Academy, you can rest assured that there is a local team of highly skilled experts committed to train and support you every step of the way.
MIKE by DHI truly models the world of water - from mountain streams to the ocean and from drinking water to treatment plant and beyond.
