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 will teach you the fundamentals of fine sediment modelling and give you an introduction on how to set up a transport model using the MIKE 21 and MIKE 3 transport model (TR), the mud transport model (MT) and the particle tracking model (PT). Processes and factors that are decisive for when to apply which model and in which dimension (2D/3D) will be discussed.
The TR module simulates the spreading and fate of dissolved or suspended substances under the influence of the fluid transport and associated dispersion processes. The MT module calculates the erosion, transport, settling and deposition of cohesive sediment. The PT module calculates the transport path and fate of the individual dissolved and suspended substances discharged or spilled in lakes, estuaries and coastal areas or at the open sea.
The fate of dispersed fine sediments or dissolved substances is often mentioned in discussions regarding local environmental conditions and sedimentation. A typical application could be the impact of dredging works.

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
Keywords: description of Shoreline Morphology inputs, making to inputs using
the Shoreline Morphology Mesh Generator tools, hands-on exercises focusing
on generation of inputs and model set-up
Module 3: Using the Shoreline Morphology tools in practice
Keywords: Steps in completing a study with the MIKE 21 FM SM, speeding up
morphological simulations, practical examples of speeding-up simulations
Module 4: A Practical hands-on example: Palm Beach, Queensland
TARGET GROUP AND PREREQUISITES
Professionals in the fields of shoreline management and planning of coastal
development schemes.
Participants should preferably have a background in sediment transport and a

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.

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

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

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
TARGET GROUP AND PREREQUISITES
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.
COURSE TOPICS
Metocean data sources and quality assessment
Recognised standards and guidelines
Introduction to wave modelling using
