MIKE 21C – Getting started with morphological modelling

Flow modelling is a key tool in water engineering and can be applied to many different systems – from large oceans to small rivers or channels. Flow models are often used independently to determine water levels or current speeds, for instance for use as input to the design of structures. Very often, flow models are used as input for other models, such as wave models or sediment transport models.

This course will teach you the basic functions of the MIKE 21C model as well as relevant tools in the MIKE Zero software package that will allow you to view and present your model results.

About MIKE 21C

The MIKE 21C model is a comprehensive modelling system for two-dimensional water modelling. MIKE 21C has been developed mainly for river and reservoir applications. 

WHAT ARE MY EXPECTED OUTCOMES?

Upon course completion, you will be able to set up and run a morphological model using MIKE 21C. You will know how to set up and run morphological models and change physical parameters such as bed roughness and viscosity, as well as generate and evaluate model outputs.

HOW WILL I LEARN?

Each module includes videos, materials and handouts that you need for model examples and quizzes. It will take you around four hours to complete the course at a time that fits your needs and requirements – and in the comfort of your own office, home or any location convenient for you.

MODULE DETAILS

The self-paced training class consists of three modules: 

Module 1 – Grid Generation 

Grid generation theory followed by application of the MIKE 21C Grid Generator to the Songwe River exercise.

Module 2 – Hydrodynamics 

Hydrodynamic theory followed by application of the MIKE 21C hydrodynamic module to the Songwe River exercise.

Module 3 – Sediment Transport and Morphology 

Sediment transport and morphology theory followed by application of the MIKE 21C morphological module to the Songwe River exercise.
