Numerical
Modeling
Coastal Systems International, Inc. utilizes a wide variety
of numerical modeling applications to assess physical
processes and environmental impacts relative to proposed
improvements to beaches, marinas, ports, and marine structures.
These models allow the simulation of wind, waves, hurricanes,
water quality, tides and currents to aid in the development
of coastal and marine related projects. The results of
numerical models are an essential tool in developing a
complete understanding of the coastal process at a specific
project site.
Coastal Systems is one of only a few firms in the United
States licensed to utilize the Danish Hydraulic Institute’s
(DHI) MIKE21 modeling package. This advanced software
employs state-of-the-art computer simulation techniques
to model hurricanes and associated storm surge and waves,
hydrodynamic processes, water quality, sediment transport
processes and morphological changes.
The Coastal Systems’ modeling team recently completed
several unique projects including a regional hurricane
model of the Caribbean, long period wave oscillation study
within a marina, analysis of bridge scour due to extreme
storm surge flow, water quality modeling, and erosional
“hot-spot” management study evaluating the
design of detached breakwaters to minimize erosive forces
at the project site.
