COAST AND MARINE

The ACADEMY by DHI provides training courses and

packages in topics related to coasts and marine

environments such as shoreline management and

monitoring and management of estuaries. We also

provide training in using our coast and marine

software to improve your activities.

Coastal environments are continuously reshaped by

natural forces and there is increasing pressure on our

coasts from the competing needs of commercial,

recreational and residential interests. Careful planning

and comprehensive assessment is required to

safeguard the coasts for future generations.

Planning, design and construction of ports and marine

structures as well as any marine operation require a

range of hydraulic and environmental engineering

services and tools to ensure viable design, safe and

efficient operation and minimal environmental

impact.

This two-day, hands-on course gives you a good understanding of the capabilities

of the new MIKE 21 FM Shoreline Morphology (MIKE 21 FM SM). The aim is to

enable you to set up and use the shoreline model in complex coastal projects as

well as elaborate on the differences between shoreline model and for instance

DHIs LITTORAL PROCESSES FM.

The traditional numerical tools used for studying coastal morphology include one-

line models such as LITTORAL PROCESSES 1D FM and 2D models (eg MIKE

21 ST FM ). However, the development of the coastal profile is not sufficiently

accurate in these models to allow the models to simulate real long-term evolution.

The new MIKE 21 Shoreline Morphology combines the detailed 2D sediment

transport fields from MIKE 21 ST FM with a one-line description for the shoreline

evolution. This enables long-term prediction of shoreline evolution in cases where

2D effects are important, e.g. for complex bathymetries or coastal structures.

COURSE TOPICS

Module 1: Introduction to MIKE 21 FM Shoreline Morphology (MIKE 21 FM SM)

Keywords: longshore and cross-shore sediment transport processes, acute and

chronic erosion problems, MIKE 21 FM SM concept

Module 2: Introduction to Shoreline Morphology Mesh Generator tools

In this one-day, hands-on course you will receive an introduction to AMB ('Agent Based Modelling') Lab and how to set up simple agent based models in the MIKE FM modelling complex.

The ABM Lab module allows you to formulate agent based models within the MIKE FM series of hydrodynamic environments of the MIKE by DHI framework. ABM Lab is a flexible numerical laboratory where you can define agents, their behaviour and their states. The Lagrangian ABM Lab can work with hydrodynamics alone or it can be combined with the Eulerian ECO Lab in order to make the agents react to water quality parameters.

ABM Lab allows you to address questions that are beyond the scope of traditional water quality models. Therefore, agent based modelling has received much attention in recent years.

The aim of this two-day, thematic course is to provide professionals involved in shoreline management with an understanding of the available tools and procedures that can help creating a sustainable management of the physical environment in the coastal zone. The course may be extended to three-day course including a one-day field trip to relevant coastal site (upon request).

An increasing number of conflicts in coastal areas are caused by the extensive development of industry, infrastructure and tourism development projects. In addition, many other human activities deprive our shores of a natural supply of sand, such as coastal protection works, river regulation works, sand mining on beaches and in rivers and the on-going sea level rise.

Coastal environments are transient, continuously reshaped by the natural processes of the waves, tides, surges, erosion and deposition.

This modular, self-paced, online course presents a broad overview of the field of coastal engineering in a number of lectures. First lecture gives a basic course in coastal hydraulics, i.e. waves and currents. Then a lecture focusing on the description of the detailed mechanisms behind sediment transport in the coastal zone is given. Having established the basic process understanding an introduction to different coastal protection schemes is given. In order to quantify the coastal phenomena in real projects, the most used numerical model types are presented in two overview lectures describing the background for numerical modelling as well as the different possible applications. Finally the course is rounded off by a discussion of how to couple the knowledge and modelling capabilities for estimating the impact of climate change on the coast.

Coastal engineering is a field where three skills are needed: 1) A basic understanding of the processes, 2) (numerical) modelling skills and 3) a thorough understanding of the context of the given project (coastal protection, morphological impact from structures, climate change, etc.).

Coastal environments are transient, continuously reshaped by the natural processes of the waves, tides, surges, erosion and deposition.

This modular, instructor led, online course gives you a sound understanding of the steps that are required for you to undertake and complete a successful morphodynamic coastal study. The course focusses on which field measurements are required and how to integrate the data into a sound understanding of the physical processes using DHIs state of the art numerical modelling tools. We shall discuss the definition and selection of numerical tools so that you can plan and mitigate problematic developments in the most successful way.

The coastal zone is under increased pressure owing to the combined effect of urbanisation of the coastal zone and increased water levels due to sea level rise from climate change or subsidence.

To make the right decisions you must, as a coastal planner, be thoroughly informed about the physical processes that impact your coastline. This course will provide you with the necessary physical and numerical understanding and knowledge to address these issues in a sustainable way.

COURSE TOPICS AND MODULES

In this two-day, thematic course you are given an overview of the physical processes of dredging and reclamation and their impacts on marine environments. The focus is on the environmental impacts of dredging and reclamation projects and the available tools and procedures that can help to sustainably manage these projects both during the design and implementation of the works. The course includes stakeholder analysis and stakeholder involvement in the management of dredging and reclamation projects.

Coastal environments have diverse environmental receptors sensitive to potential impacts arising from dredging and reclamation. These include habitats such as coral reefs, natural resources such as fisheries, economic resources such as water intakes and socio-cultural resources such as tourism facilities. Coupled with the fact that the physical processes of currents and waves can transfer the potential impacts of dredging and reclamation many kilometers from the work area, it becomes clear that the management of environmental impacts of dredging and reclamation is a challenging activity.

The course provides you with the necessary knowledge of the physical, chemical and biological impact processes resulting from dredging and reclamation works and how these can be minimized through project planning and environmental management during execution.

COURSE TOPICS

Overview and analysis: The dredging and reclamation process and techniques

Potential environmental impacts

Mitigation options

Sediment physical properties

Natural sediment processes

Handling contaminated sediments

Introduction and analysis of the EIA process

The aim of this four-day, thematic course is to introduce you to the basic principles of scale modelling and the methodologies involved. The main focus is on our wave generation and acquisition system Wave Synthesizer and wave analysis software within the MIKE Zero software.

Physical modelling is a recognised and well established technique for hydraulic studies. It bridges the gap between what can be simulated accurately using numerical models and the real world. It also facilitates the calibration of numerical models and increases confidence in future predictions.

When designing coastal, harbour and other marine structures it is a challenge to secure resilience against wind, water and storms as well as long-term stability. A number of hydraulic structures with water/structure/land interaction cannot be modelled numerically in a sufficient way manner. Accordingly, our physical laboratories provide test facilities.

COURSE TOPICS

Cases suitable for physical modelling

Scaling laws

Metocean design conditions including climate change scenarios

Wave generation and analysis

Choice of scale and scaling model and materials used

Stability testing of coastal structures in 2D and 3D

Modelling impact forces

Modelling vessel movements and mooring forces

Model tests execution and results documentation

Hands-on experience in designing and conducting coastal lab experiments


Professionals employed at physical modelling laboratories or engineers carrying

out supervision of model tests at physical modelling facilities for our clients.

Participants should preferably have a background in coastal, port or marine

engineering and management. Some experience in using results of physical

modelling is preferable but no condition.

This two-day, thematic course introduces you to the procedures of analysis related to assessing scour risk at marine structures. The focus is on offshore wind turbine foundations and how to protect against or mitigate the scour formation by applying scour protection systems of, for instance, rock dump or mattresses. After the course the participant will be able to identify and define scour issues, asses the risk of scour and possible mitigation solutions for various types of marine structures and obtain the recent knowledge gained over the last decade from significant development and research within the field of marine scour.

Scour is a well-known issue for hydraulic and marine engineering. Scour occurs when structures are placed on erodible beds and exposed to current and waves. The foundations of e.g. offshore wind turbines are often erected in harsh hydrodynamic environments, exposed to tidal currents and large waves individually or in combination. Therefore, it is essential to have a detailed understanding of how these hydrodynamic environments affects the structure as a whole, including the foundation and the interaction between flow, structure and sea bed to ensure short and long term stability. Evidently, the formation of scour around marine structures can pose a threat to the structural stability and the cables transporting electricity.

COURSE TOPICS

Flow and force processes in the presence of cylindrical structures

Explain drag, inertia and lift forces in currents and waves

Scour around marine structures including offshore wind turbine foundations,

gravity based structures (GBS), cables and pipelines

Scour related problems: depravation of the general sea bed level, migration of

large bed forms, edge scour and sinking of scour protections.

Scour in complex soils

Scour protections systems (counter measures): types, rock dump, mats,

installation and monitoring

Hands-on exercises including computer simulations in MIKE 21


Professionals in hydraulic or engineering and management working with design,

installation and commissioning of marine structures. You should preferably have

a background in coastal, port or marine engineering and management.

This two-day, thematic hands-on course introduces modelling and analyses of relevance for marine renewable energy projects. It enables the practitioner to understand the benefits and limitations of metocean design data and provides guidelines on how to develop these. The course is focused on our Best Practices for coastal and offshore projects for wind turbines wave and tidal power and marine infrastructure projects.

Project managers and others working with coastal or offshore projects are facing the forces of nature and must develop reliable designs, able to withstand the waves and currents in harsh environments and at the same time harness the energy of the oceans to the benefit of society

Part of the planning or design process of marine projects is to find valid data sources either from observations or via modelling and to carry out relevant analyses which can pertinently quantify the environmental conditions.
