Dhi Mike 21 [best] — Extended & Recent

DHI Mike 21 is a comprehensive software package used for hydrodynamic modeling and simulation of coastal and estuarine systems. Developed by DHI (Dansk Hydraulik Institut), Mike 21 is widely used by researchers, engineers, and coastal managers to understand and predict the behavior of complex coastal systems. This paper provides an overview of the Mike 21 software, its features, and applications.

Unlike its 1D predecessor (MIKE 11), which models flow along a linear channel, MIKE 21 uses a flexible mesh (structured or unstructured) to simulate how water spreads across a floodplain or around complex coastal geometry. dhi mike 21
