God sommer med ny MIKE by DHI nettside!

Vi vil med dette ønske alle våre brukere og samarbeidspartnere en riktig god sommer! På grunn av ferieavvikling i sommermånedene kan det ta litt lenger tid enn vanlig å få svar på dine supporthenvendelser, men vi skal gjøre det vi kan for å gi deg svar så fort som mulig. Det er viktig at alle supporthenvendelser sendes til software@dhi.no og ikke til en av våre personlige e-poster. I så fall vil det kunne ta lengre tid før dere får hjelp.

Med lanseringen av DHI-gruppens nye nettside i april, ble en lignende oppfrisking av MIKE by DHIs nettside gjort. Bortsett fra ny design og forbedret navigasjon, har det spesielt vært viet fokus til programmene og fordelene ved modellering. Mange flere brukerapplikasjoner for ulike markedsområder er nå tilgjengelig, og disse understreker de mange fordelene våre brukere har oppnådd ved hjelp av MIKE by DHI programvare. Vi håper disse kan tjene som inspirasjon for fremtidige brukere så vel som for eksisterende brukere. Nettsiden er selvfølgelig fortsatt inngangsporten til generell informasjon, support-relaterte FAQs, tips, kurs og arrangementskalendere, planlagte demoer og for nedlasting av programvare, verktøy og dokumenter.

Vi inviterer deg herved til å ta en tur, og også til å gi oss dine kommentarer og ideer. Klikk her

DHI (Polish and Czech offices) has signed a contract with the Wroclaw city water operator for building models of water distribution and collection system. The models will cover the entire city and help the utility in their daily operational activities as well as answer questions related to future city development. The water distribution model will be used mostly for pressure evaluation, water age, pollution propagation and chlorine concentration analysis. The sewer system model should help in analysis of weirs performance - inform about simulated number and volume of overflows, sediment influence on network performance and definition of flooding prevention program in the area of main collectors. Within the contract DHI will supply a number of MIKE URBAN licenses accompanied by a dedicated training course. DHI will also be responsible for executing a comprehensive monitoring program and delivery of an equipment package (flowmeters, rain gauges) necessary for the measuring campaign. The project will be delivered in cooperation with a GIS-specialized company WINUEL S.A. (Sygnity Group).

Each year, the Congress for New Urbanism's Charter Awards recognize projects across the world that best embody and advance the principles of the Charter of the New Urbanism. As selected by a jury of leading urbanists, honorees set the gold standard for urban design and development and serve as powerful examples for future development.

The Southeast Lee County (Florida) Integrated Planning Project by Dover Kohl and Partners was recognized for its emphasis on the entirety of the built and natural environment -- from the function and sustainability of regions to the fine-grain architectural details that strengthen people's ties to a place over time.

The project area hosts rural neighbourhoods, lime rock mines, and active farms. The land also contains valuable ecological and hydrological features including panther habitat and public supply wells. Scenario planning was used to identify patterns to accommodate growing populations and to protect endangered natural systems and agriculture. In this instance, the different scenarios were generated to visualize alternative futures and to analyze factors such as the effect of mine placement and quantities of lime rock removed from the aquifer, the effect of land use patterns in residential qualities of life, the protection of sensitive native habitats on the ecosystem, the potential for public transit, and impact on traffic. The hydrological impacts of these scenarios were modelled by DHI Inc. using eg MIKE SHE to evaluate the specific effects of the scenarios on surface water hydrology and groundwater levels. The results of the modelling were prepared as illustrative plans for the entire project area to help the public quickly visualize the effect of large-scale policy decisions from an aerial view.

A new version of the coupling interface between FEFLOW and MIKE11 is now available for download

Since 2005 the coupling interface IfmMIKE11 has been available. Its functionality covers the exchange of boundary condition data during runtime and the synchronization of both temporal and spatial discretization. The system has been applied to both simple benchmark cases and complex field conditions. In 2006, the module was successfully extended for the coupling of polder areas and forelands. This option is also available in the present version of the module. Furthermore, this version includes a better representation of the exchange area between rivers and groundwater body and supports the coupling of mass transport processes.

The most important new features of IfmMIKE11 version 2.0 are:

• The coupling of polder areas as well as floodplains is fully supported. Using this option, it is also possible to represent the interaction between lakes and groundwater in a more convenient manner
• Constraints are automatically set within areas representing polders or floodplains
• Constraints can be set automatically for regular branches
• The exchange area between rivers and groundwater is now defined by the cross sections of MIKE11, not by the FEFLOW mesh. This gives a much more realistic representation of the exchange processes
• Mass transport coupling is fully supported.

The new version also supports the use of FEFLOW 6. Mass transport coupling is available with MIKE11 2009, SP4.

During the past 5 years the City of Waterloo, Ontario has been receiving an increasing number of reports of localized flooding of residential properties and roadways in some of the older neighborhoods of the city. In one particular area, a sag in the road way and low-lying adjacent properties have resulted in significant flood damage to several homes and pooling of water in excess of 1 m deep across several lots.

Using the results of the integrated 1D and 2D urban flood modeling of the study area, the City was able to clearly identify the only viable solution to the flooding problem, and to effectively communicate these findings to the public. As result, the City’s engineering staff has recommended an accelerated schedule for the permanent solution rather than risking time, budget and public backlash by pursuing ineffective short-term measures.

A new fixed link across Roskilde Fjord in Denmark is proposed to relieve the severe congestion in the city of Frederikssund for traffic across the existing bridge that was built before the Second World War. The Danish Road Directorate undertakes a major EIA study in order to develop and evaluate new alternative alignments for a fixed link. Want to read more? Click here.

The optimization is based on meeting downstream irrigation demands, avoiding saline river flows, enhancing flood protection and saving valuable water resources by, on a day-to-day basis, to release sufficient good quality water for downstream usage within the river basin.
