Sediments

MIKE 11 offers a variety of options for modelling of sediment transport dynamics and morphological changes in the river bed. Transport models are available for fine, cohesive sediments, such as clay and silt, non-cohesive sediments, such as sand, gravel and boulders, as well as mixed sediments.

Typical sediment transport applications with MIKE 11 comprise:

• Assessments of sediment dynamics in larger river systems
• Long-term morphology
• Optimisation of dredging maintenance, for example for navigation
• Sediment management in rivers and reservoirs
• River restoration projects

BENEFITS

• Long-term simulations of morphological changes in rivers
• Rapid assessment of sediment dynamics in larger river systems
• Mixed sediments analysis, including morphological changes
