CROSS DOMAIN CAPABILITIES
MIKE+ is an all-in-one flood modelling platform that is well suited for most flooding applications.
MIKE+ allows you to plug and play with different modules to customise water management solutions. These add-on modules can be used across your collection systems, rivers and/or flooding challenges:
More complex problems can also be investigated by coupling and extending MIKE+ with other MIKE software.
The flooding module efficiently simulates any cause of urban, pluvial or riverine flooding (heavy local rainfall, insufficient flow capacity of storm water inlets, overtopping of nearby rivers) and assesses mitigation options. The flooding module is based on MIKE 21 FM, DHI’s 2D overland flow engine. 2D OVERLAND The Flexible Mesh (FM) solver offers maximum flexibility for detailed and tailored meshes. Its advanced handling of buildings, roads and rainfall is perfectly suited for urban flooding studies. By directly using your geographical land cover data, you can easily represent the spatial variability of the roughness in your domain. The depth varying roughness feature accurately represents the impact of different land covers along the simulation. Structures like weirs, dikes and culverts can be directly implemented in the 2D engines. Parallelisation enables 2D model performance enhancements through use of multiple cores and GPU-cards.
RAINFALL RUNOFF This module includes multiple rainfall-runoff models such as time area method, kinematic wave including infiltration and LIDS, linear reservoir and UHM. Modelling of the rainfall dependent inflow and infiltration using the RDI/I conceptual model for simulating continuous slow response inflows due to infiltration and groundwater.

WEST Modelling and simulation of wastewater treatment plants
WEST is a powerful and user-friendly software package for dynamic modelling and simulation of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) and other types of water quality related systems. It is designed for operators, engineers and researchers interested in studying physical, biological or chemical processes in WWTPs, sewer systems and rivers.
EVALUATION OF DESIGN OPTIONS When designing or upgrading a WWTP, WEST enables you to compare different design solutions in terms of performance with respect to specific objectives, such as effluent quality, investments and operational costs. The Scenario Analysis tool and the possibility to define custom objective functions in WEST allow you to select the best design for your plant.
MONITORING OF PLANT OPERATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING A calibrated model of a WWTP can be used to predict the dynamic response to different types of variations, for example in the influent composition, in order to identify bottlenecks and the appropriate countermeasures. It can also be used for training operators through the offline simulation of a variety of control actions. The Scenario and Uncertainty Analysis tools in WEST are instrumental to understanding the complex processes in a modern WWTP.
PHYSICAL MODELS • Screening and grit removal • Equalisation, storm and settling tanks (with reactions) • Activated sludge tanks and oxidation ditches (raceway) • Granular sludge • Integrated fixed film activated sludge and moving bed bioreactor (IFAS, MBBR) • Sand and trickling filters • Sequencing batch reactors (SBR), incl. moving- and fixed bed biofilm • Membrane- (MBR) and membrane-aerated biofilm reactors (MABR) • Upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) • Sludge treatment (dewatering, aerobic and anaerobic digestion) • Heat exchanger and gas turbine • Chemical dosing units • Disinfection • Pumps and blowers • Controllers and timers • Nutrient recovery
You can also take a more conventional approach to plant design by means of the Designer Application. This allows you to design a WWTP according to a template and following a design protocol, such as ATV. PROCESS OPTIMISATION Improvements to the operations of a WWTP may lead to considerable benefits in terms of process performance, effluent quality as well as operational costs, for example for aeration. The Parameter Estimation tool enables you to identify the combination of operational conditions that optimise a given objective. MODEL CALIBRATION Model calibration is an essential part of the model development process. The local and global Sensitivity Analysis and Parameter Estimation tools in WEST are invaluable to efficiently calibrate your model. DEVELOPMENT OF ADVANCED CONTROL STRATEGIES To assess different control strategies by experimenting is typically a cumbersome exercise. WEST provides flexible control models as well as automated conversion of MATLAB fuzzy logic controllers. This makes it the tool of choice for evaluating control strategies prior to their actual implementation.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT When studying novel treatment approaches, you require a software tool that is both sufficiently flexible to capture newly acquired knowledge, such as models and data, and fast enough to evaluate a large number of alternatives within a reasonable timeframe. WEST excels in both areas, demonstrated by its Block Editor and Model Editor applications (for developing custom model libraries) and the availability of the WEST engine on a number of high performance computing (HPC) infrastructures and supercomputers. MODELLING INTEGRATED URBAN WATER SYSTEMS The water quality in integrated urban water systems (IUWS) is simulated taking into account the catchment, the sewer, the treatment plant(s), and the receiving water body. The integrated IUWS library makes WEST a powerful tool to identify synergies and to globally optimise the wastewater system performance.
BIOCHEMICAL PROCESS MODEL • Activated sludge model (ASM) no. 1, 2d (with inorganic solids) and 3 • Anaerobic digestion model no. 1 (ADM1) with extension for sulphur • Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (Anammox) model • Activated sludge models for greenhouse gases (ASMG) • Comprehensive C-N-P-S model • Plant-wide model (PWM_SA) • Wastewater Aerobic/Anaerobic Transformation in Sewers (WATS) model • Integrated urban water systems (IUWS) • Thermal hydrolysis process model
WEST Basic This is an entry-level license that allows for the construction of a plant layout and the execution of simulations. The layout is limited in size and only a sub-set of all unit processes can be used. All advanced features (tools and experiment types) are not enabled. It is the ideal starting point to acquire familiarity with the software and get a feeling for its huge potential.
WEST+ This is the full product that allows you to create both basic projects, which are solely based on steady state or dynamic simulation, as well as more complex projects exploiting powerful tools for model calibration (Global Sensitivity Analysis and Parameter Estimation), reliable predictions of plant performance (Uncertainty Analysis) and process optimisation (Parameter Estimation). In addition, it enables you to create entirely customised model libraries by using the Model Editor and Block Editor applications.
WEST SDK This is a software development kit (SDK) that enables you to develop custom applications through integration of WEST engine with other software systems, such as SCADA systems and databases. It is an essential component for developing sophisticated, tailor-made decision support systems.
WEST Player This module is limited to steady state and dynamic simulation and the computation of custom objective functions. Essentially, it allows you to execute projects that are based on read-only models and plant layouts prepared with higher versions of the software. It is well-suited for training and for evaluation of operational strategies on a fixed or pre-constructed plant model. WEST Based on a read-only model library, this module enables the construction and modification of plant layouts with no limitations in terms of process units. For any plant layout, it allows for the performance of steady state and dynamic simulation as well as computing custom objective functions. In addition, you can exploit powerful tools for model calibration (Global Sensitivity Analysis and Parameter Estimation) and what-if scenario evaluation (Scenario Analysis).

SHORT DESCRIPTION The model solves the 3D incompressible Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations. Both the full 3D Navier-Stokes equations (non-hydrostatic) and the 3D shallow water equations (hydrostatic) can be applied. Thus, the model consists of continuity, momentum, temperature, salinity and density equations and is closed by a set of turbulent closure schemes.
The spatial discretisation of the governing equations is performed using a cell-centred finite volume method on triangular , quadrangular or mixed element domains, employing a shock-capturing Riemann solver to ensure robust and stable simulation of flows.

MIKE SHE Integrated catchment modelling
MIKE SHE delivers truly integrated modelling of groundwater, surface water, recharge and evapotranspiration. MIKE SHE includes all important aspects of hydrology when your project requires a fully integrated model. No other tool or combination of tools can match MIKE SHE in terms of seamless integration of all the important processes of the hydrological cycle.
MIKE SHE is ideal when surface processes affect subsurface conditions and vice versa. MIKE SHE internalises traditional boundaries and effectively partitions rainfall into Evapotranspiration, Runoff and Groundwater Recharge.
MIKE SHE is a flexible modelling framework that includes a range of numerical methods for each hydrological process. It has an advanced, conceptual, model-independent user interface with full water balance accounting for all hydrological processes.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS The list of potential MIKE SHE applications is huge including, for example:
It is possible to combine the hydrological processes and numerical methods depending on the requirements of your application and the availability of data.
RIVER FLOW You can simulate channel flow using full, 1D hydrodynamics, including operation of hydraulic structures such as gates, pumps and weirs. For larger networks, a faster and less data intensive flow routing method is also available.
• • •
• • • • • • •
Integrated catchment hydrology Conjunctive use and management of surface water and groundwater Irrigation and drought management Wetland management and restoration Environmental river flows Floodplain management Groundwater-induced flooding Land use and climate change impacts on groundwater and surface water Nutrient fate and management Integrated mine water management
All numerical engines in MIKE SHE are parallelised to make efficient use of available multicore resources. OVERLAND FLOW MIKE SHE uses a 2D, diffusive wave, finite difference method for detailed runoff and flood modelling, with two-way dynamic exchange between the floodplain and the river. In parallel, MIKE SHE can route rainfall to nearby streams and channels via a conceptual drainage network.
UNSATURATED ZONE For detailed, vertical unsaturated flow, you can use the 1D, finite difference multilayer method based on either Richards' equation or gravity flow. Alternatively, you can use a two-layer root zone model for simple water balance accounting in the unsaturated zone. Green and Ampt infiltration can be used in dry soils when capillarity is ignored. Bypass flow can be used to account for soil macropores and sub-grid variability of infiltration. EVAPOTRANSPIRATION Rainfall and evapotranspiration are the largest parts of the water balance. In MIKE SHE, vegetation-based actual evapotranspiration is calculated from interception, soil, ponded water, the root zone and groundwater. SNOW In cold climates, MIKE SHE converts elevation corrected precipitation into wet and dry snow storage. Snow is converted to surface water using an extended degree-day method, including elevation corrected temperature, radiation and rain-on-snow.
GROUNDWATER For detailed groundwater-surface water interaction, MIKE SHE includes 3D, finite difference groundwater flow that discharges groundwater drainage directly to surface water.
DHI has more than 30 years of experience in integrated hydrological modelling — more than any other organisation in the world.
A linear reservoir groundwater method is also available for basin-wide water balance and management, or fully distributed rainfallrunoff modelling. WATER QUALITY With MIKE SHE, you can simulate fully integrated solute transport between surface water and the subsurface, including decay, sorption, precipitation and selective uptake.
It is this experience that is embedded in MIKE SHE and is available to you in our unparalleled technical support and training. If you need to accurately partition rainfall into runoff, evapotranspiration and groundwater recharge, MIKE SHE is the fastest, most dependable way to produce accurate integrated models. With MIKE SHE, you can tailor the complexity of your model and truly explore the impact of hydrologic change.
You can also include more complex, multispecies, kinetic reactions, comprising all aspects of eco-hydrology, with MIKE ECO Lab. See more on page 24. For source water protection and groundwater age analysis, fully dynamic random walk particle tracking is available in the saturated zone. WATER BALANCE MIKE SHE includes a comprehensive and flexible water balance utility for complete local and model wide water balances - for any time period. ADDITIONAL FEATURES Deficit-driven irrigation from multiple sources, such as rivers and groundwater subject to control and license limits. AUTOCAL is a general tool for parameter estimation and sensitivity analysis that automatically uses available CPU cores. Python scripting is available in MIKE SHE for users to integrated MIKE SHE into decision support systems , or to build their own plugins to modify or create additional processes.
