The latest improvements encompass enhanced stability for both higher order and low order schemes, particularly in regions involving flooding and drying, with notable advantages for three-dimensional simulations. The fast low order scheme has undergone substantial enhancements in accuracy and stability, especially in areas with steep gradients. Consequently, velocities along riverbanks and underwater channels now exhibit better alignment with the more accurate higher order scheme. Furthermore, the performance of GPU solvers has been optimised for simulations that incorporate infrastructure features and flow-dependent bed resistance.
The accuracy of our advection-dispersion scheme has been improved with an upgraded discretisation of the diffusion terms.
Coastal and marine modellers – run faster, more accurate FM simulations in more applications given MIKE 21/3’s improved numerics in MIKE 2023. Plus, avoid freak (unnatural) velocities and numerical noise, particularly when modelling steep gradients such as riverbanks and shelf seas.
The new and improved MIKE 21/3 FM suite as part of MIKE 2023, opens the door to more modelling possibilities and streamlined workflows. Users can now calculate excess temperature in desalination plants, more accurately assess flooding with an H4Inundation output on line series and even run degree-based map projections thanks to the removal of LONG/LAT dependency in the FM engine(s). With these latest improvements, you’ll experience faster GPU acceleration, particularly during the initialisation phase for shapefiles that include thousands of polygons.
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.
Salt marsh and mangrove vegetation, which cover ~19% of our global coastline, are paramount in helping to reduce climate change-related risks along the coastline. Particularly when used in combination with other natural or man-made coastal defences, belts of coastal vegetation can help reduce damage and associated costs from waves, intense storms, tsunamis, erosion and sea-level rise.
To better support coastal zone management planning and coastal defence initiatives, MIKE 21 Flow Model FM, MIKE 3 Flow Model FM and MIKE 3 Wave FM models can now be used for a variety of vegetation – from rigid plants like mangroves to flexible plants such as salt marsh cover. In addition, MIKE 21 Spectral Wave FM also includes two new dissipation models for rigid plants: a multi-layered approach for the fully spectral formulation and directionally decoupled parametric formulation and a single-layered approach for the fully spectral formulation.
MIKE Zero, DHI’s fully Windows integrated graphical user interface, is now better than ever and comes standard in all MIKE 21/3 software! 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 organised and efficient manner.
MIKE 3 Flow Model FM users now have access to a k-Omega turbulence model with wall functions to model vortices and vortex shedding around vertical structures such as slender piles. When coupled with a MIKE 21/3 Mud Transport or a MIKE 21/3 Sand Transport model, you can more accurately predict scour around structures. Watch video
You can now access MIKE 21/3 on Azure Marketplace, where you can start modelling in the cloud with no hardware limitation in four simple steps. Learn more
Need to analyse problems where flow and transport phenomena are important and where the flexibility inherited in the unstructured meshes can be utilised? Look no further than MIKE 21/3 Coupled Model FM. With this truly dynamic modelling system, you’ll have the power to investigate the morphological evolution of nearshore bathymetry impacted by factors such as dredging works and engineering structures, including breakwaters, groins, shoreface nourishment and harbours. Explore all capabilities
