1. MIKE by DHI UK Symposium 2014
Coombe Abbey Hotel, Warwickshire
Tuesday 13 May 2014 – 16th
UK User Group Meeting Draft Agenda
09:00 Sign up & coffee
09:30 Intro from DHI*

10:30 Alan Forster (URS) Modelling extreme water levels in the Swan and Canning Rivers, Perth, WA
[Summary to follow]
10:50 Yiping Chen (Hyder Consulting) Water Level and Tidal Current Calibrations of the Ramsey Bay Model
The presentation will cover the construction of the MIKE21 FMHD Irish Sea model,
which provides coastal boundary conditions to drive the Ramsey Bay, Isle of Man,
local model. In particular, the presentation will focus on water level calibrations
using the available tide gauge data and tidal current calibrations using continuous
ADCP measured data at 2 locations for 30 days. The calibrated model was then used
for sea outfall dispersion modelling study to assess the potential impact of the new
Ramsey coastal outfall and CSOs and to predict the compliance to the new EU
Bathing Water Quality Objectives.
11:10 Coffee & cakes Refreshments and time for a chat
11:30 Stephen Patterson (RPS) Catchment Flood Risk Assessment and Management (CFRAM) Studies in Ireland
[Summary to follow]
11:50 Juergen Grieser (RMS) Using MIKE21 for the Estimation of Japan Typhoon Risk
Japan is very well defended against storm surges. Sea defences are up to 18m high.
Risk Management Solutions (RMS) estimates the risk of storm surges for Japan in a
hybrid approach. MIKE21FM and MIKE21SW are driven with a stochastic set of
typhoon tracks. Based on the EurOtop Manual open-ocean wave characteristics are
converted into wave characteristics directly at the defences. Defence overtopping
rates and/or breaching is described by parameterizations. Various inundation
scenarios are estimated using graphical processing units (GPUs) which run
considerably faster than CPUs.
12:10 Kevin Black (Partrac) Developing Useful Estuarine Sediment Transport Models: Improving Model Outputs
by Improving Model Inputs
The utility of any model is a direct function of the quality of the inputs provided to
the model. Almost everything related to confidence in the model thus depends on
the quality and range of data used to calibrate and validate the model. This
presentation seeks to summarise the mainstream, and less well known, marine tools
and instruments that can provide nearly all of the required inputs for modern
sediment transport models. It will provide a framework for collection of data and
outline some of the practicalities of collecting this data.
12:30 Lunch Plenty of time for a lovely lunch
14:00 Vera Jones (Atkins) Riverine water quality modelling, with a focus on nutrients, using MIKE 11 ECO Lab
[Summary to follow]
14:20 Ambre Trehin & Zhong Peng
(Fugro Geos)
Supporting Red Sea Hydrographic Survey Services: Water Level Modelling
Fugro GEOS Ltd was commissioned to produce an operational water level model of
the Red Sea using MIKE21 HD FM in order to support a bathymetry survey that will
be undertaken along the Saudi Arabian coasts over 2014/2015. The hydrodynamic
complexity of the Red Sea (presence of an amphidrome, large surge variations), as
well as the client specifications regarding the allowed error, make this project very
challenging.
14:40 Albert Chen (University of
Exeter)
From hazard to impact: The CORFU flood damage assessment tool
[Summary to follow]
