Save time and improve your modelling workflows using MIKE Zero’s upgraded editors and viewers. Take advantage of new keyboard shortcuts and themes, improved tabbing, tear off and cascade functionality plus easier access to User Guides and Scientific Documentation.

MIKE Zero, DHI’s fully Windows integrated graphical user interface, is now better than ever! Enjoy easy access to new MIKE Cloud applications and Cloud-enhanced functionality, plus an extended set of MIKE tools within theme-based (rather than product-based) interactive workflows. Ensure important model components such as sources and structures stay at the forefront with a new interactive, customisable floating mapping window. Lastly, the updated tabbing functionality will help you work in a more organized and efficient manner.

Water quality in rivers and other surface water bodies are increasingly threatened by human activity such as pollution, changes in land use, poor water treatment, inefficient operation of regulation systems and recreational activities. Users can simulate the transport and spreading of conservative pollutants using the Advection Dispersion add-on module and include linear decay options. For more advanced water quality issues such as heat balance, bacteria growth and eutrophication, MIKE ECO Lab provides all the flexibility required to analyse environmental conditions in rivers, canals and reservoirs and investigate remediation strategies.

The Sediment Transport add-on module enables the modelling of cohesive and non-cohesive sediment dynamics to investigate a wide range of issues including sediment transport, sediment remobilisation in polluted streams, river morphology, erosion and deposition of uniform and mixed sediments. Users can also calculate morphological changes of river bed bathymetry and bed sediment composition. Whether you perform long-term simulations of morphological changes in rivers or rapid assessment of sediment dynamics in larger river systems, MIKE HYDRO River can help. Optimise dredging maintenance for improved navigation and better manage sediment in rivers and reservoirs for restoration projects with available transport models for fine, cohesive sediments such as clay and silt, non-cohesive sediments such as sand, gravel and boulders, as well as mixed sediments.

Rivers are increasingly controlled and the optimum operation of structures can be a challenging task. With the Structure Operation module, you can simulate operational structures such as sluices, overflow and radial gates as well as pumps and turbines from user-defined operation strategies and rules.

Calibration of models can be a tedious and time consuming task. The Automatic Calibration (AUTOCAL) module allows users to find the best values for a wide range of parameters, including RR parameters, Manning numbers, head loss coefficients and water quality.

The combination of climate change and aging infrastructures makes dam breaks an increasingly important risk – therefore proper understanding of associated hazards is crucial. MIKE HYDRO River provides various methods for simulating dam breaches from an initial dam geometry. This includes modes for soil erosion failures or user-defined breaches.

The ability to forecast floods based on observed and forecast data is vital in a world where global warming is increasing the likelihood of more extreme events. Elevate your model to a full-fledged flood forecasting system with the Data Assimilation (DA) module. This enables MIKE HYDRO River to assimilate data from a gauging station, continuously update your model state during simulation with Kalman filter and carry out uncertainty assessments.

For complex studies that require integrated modelling, couple MIKE HYDRO River with other cutting edge software in the MIKE Powered by DHI suite. For example, couple MIKE HYDRO River with FEFLOW to consider the interaction with groundwater or with MIKE 21 / MIKE URBAN+ (through MIKE FLOOD) to better understand how your rivers interact with surrounding flood areas and the urban environment. Connect MIKE HYDRO River with MIKE SHE to step back and consider the wider watershed and hydrological cycle in your catchment.

Extend the capabilities of MIKE HYDRO River even further by developing your own tools with MIKE SDK. Create custom scripts (or tap into DHI’s open source library) to load and execute your own logic with the MIKE 1D engine. Integrate MIKE HYDRO River in third party modelling software using OpenMI.

You can now access MIKE HYDRO River on Azure Marketplace, where you can start modelling in the cloud with no hardware limitation in four simple steps. Learn more
