MIKE by DHI Release 2012

We are pleased to announce that the MIKE by DHI 2012 software package is officially released!

MIKE by DHI 2012The 2012 version offers new important features and significant performance improvements, which increase speed and productivity significantly and allow you to handle much larger amounts of data in an efficient manner. This provides many new possibilities and facilitates the work of practitioners and decision makers around the world even further.

MIKE by DHI covers the entire water environments cycle in a highly integrated manner and with more features than ever before. Whether you are working within marine, ports and coasts, water resource management, rivers, flooding, urban, groundwater, wastewater or integrated modelling, MIKE by DHI 2012 is tailored for your modelling needs.

Now, with release 2012, running models and simulations with MIKE by DHI software has become even more efficient allowing you to work faster and with much more comprehensive and complex models than ever before. To mention a few highlights of the many improvements, we are proud to introduce high performance computing (HPC), where you can get access to high performance versions of the FM series as well as remote execution in order to avoid large models monopolising your local PC. Getting access to MIKE software has never been easier, and with MIKE by DHI in the cloud and high performance computing versions available, large and complex simulations will never again be an obstacle to reach the best possible results.

Furthermore, when dealing with climate change adaptation, two important improvements have been made, which are the inclusion of Sea Level Changes and the support of 2D data files in the Climate Change tool. Climate change adaption continues to play a major role and will impact us through water first, and with these new features it is even easier to be prepared.

For more information about the many new features of this release, read more here or check out our new online catalogue here.

Check out the new release here and discover what MIKE by DHI 2012 can do for you.

Online presentations of news in release 2012

If you are interested in learning more about the news in release 2012, a series of online presentations have been scheduled for this purpose and is now open for registration. Read further down in this newsletter for more detailed information.



New MIKE by DHI user forum

We are happy to introduce our new user forum. The new MIKE by DHI forum provides the opportunity for all kinds of discussions related to MIKE by DHI software. It is founded based on our strong interest to further the possibilities for beginners as well as experts to share knowledge within the extensive MIKE by DHI user community.

Building on the successful FEFLOW Forum, which was focusing on groundwater related content only, the new forum covers all our software products. Boards for discussions, announcements (by DHI) and suggestions are available for each product, which you can subscribe to separately.

Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to add an additional level of user-to-user interaction to your MIKE by DHI software experience! We hope that many of you will make this new platform a busy meeting place and we look forward to many fruitful discussions.

The new UK Water Projects 2012 publication in the United Kingdom includes two MIKE by DHI user case stories - featuring MIKE 21 and MIKE FLOOD respectively.

Baystone Bank Impounding Reservoir Safety

The restoration of Whicham Beck provides ecological benefits, risk reduction and reduced OPEX costs.
By Carl Sanders, United Utilities.

Protecting and enhancing natural resources such as rivers, lakes and some of the most beautiful countrysides in the country is all part of United Utilities normal business.

Baystone Bank, which was constructed over 135 years ago, is north of the village of Millom within the Lake District National Park. The reservoir was taken out of supply over 10 years ago. This article examines the discontinuance of the Baystone Bank dam, which will result in flows returning to Whicham Beck for the first time in over a century.

Flood Consequence Assessments of Critical Assets

Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water’s assessments of eight infrastructure assets in Wales.
By Chris Lewis, Peter Jones and Laura Howe, Waterco Ltd.

The Welsh Government’s Technical Advice Note 15, Development and Flood Risk (TAN15) gives indicative guidance that the annual probability of flooding of general infrastructure from fluvial events should be no greater than 1% AEP (annual exceedance probability) and no greater than 0.5% AEP from tidal events. This paper presents the reasons for the detailed flood risk assessment of eight water assets in Wales in 2011 and also includes the approach, methodology and findings of the hydraulic modelling, which formed a key part of the assessments. Brief details are presented of two of the hydraulic models.

Transforming abandoned mining pits into new lake districts

The mining industry can have severe consequences for regions and the surrounding landscape, impacting vegetation and wildlife negatively when mining production is abandoned. Rehabilitating old mining areas can be a highly difficult challenge and few succeed.

However, with the right strategies and tools available, abandoned mining pits can be turned from lifeless landscapes into prosperous manmade lake districts. This is what has been done in Eastern Germany, where DHI-WASY was able to provide accurate analysis and the right strategies for creating a new lake. For this purpose, integrated groundwater modelling was essential using among other products FEFLOW 6.1 and MIKE 11.

MIKE by DHI user group meeting in Switzerland

User Group Meeting

User group meeting

On 9 September 2012 a MIKE by DHI user group meeting took place in Luzern, Switzerland. As in the past years, many users followed the invitation. In the morning the participants learned about the upcoming MIKE 2012 release. Subsequently, Mario Bruschi, GEOCOM Informatik AG, presented GEONIS, a net information system based on ArcGIS, with an interface for the successful linkage to MIKE URBAN. His presentation was of great interest to all participants.

The afternoon was dedicated to hands-on examples and discussions. It became apparent that hydraulic modelling of sewer systems, including analysis of extreme rainfall events, and modelling of water distribution systems, including advanced control rules are topics of increasing importance. DHI would like to thank the participants for this fruitful and interesting day and is looking forward to seeing you all again next year.



MIKE URBAN training course held in Dubai

FEFLOW Conference

On 30 September to 3 October 2012, DHI Middle East, in collaboration with DHI Norway, hosted a MIKE URBAN training seminar at the Rotana Hotel in Dubai.

Ministry of Works (Bahrain), Abu Dhabi Sewage Services Company, Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority, Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, Dorsch, Khatib & Alami and Idrosse were represented at the training. Below are some of the user statements following the training:

“MIKE URBAN is a really good tool for modelling and it is needed for future planning – cost effective.”

“The course was very useful as I use MIKE URBAN in my daily work.”

“I’m glad with this course. It was over my expectations.”

“Excellent trainer, materials, and venue.”
