MIKE 21: a modelling system for estuaries, coastal waters and seas

MIKE 21 is a comprehensive modelling system for the simulation of hydraulics and hydraulic-related phenomena in estuaries, coastal waters and seas. It can be applied to any two-dimensional free-surface flows where stratification can be neglected. The various modules of the system simulate hydrodynamics, advection-dispersion, short waves, sediment transport, water quality, eutrophication and heavy metals. The system has a wide range of engineering and environmental applications in coastal hydraulics, oceanography, wave dynamics, harbours, rivers, environmental hydraulics and sediment processes. An extensive pre- and post-processing module allows analysis and graphical presentation of both data and model results, which are stored in a simple data base. A flexible, interactive menu system facilitates data handling, model input and program execution. It runs on UNIX work stations including PC's with SCO UNIX operating system.
