Do you need detailed and timely Does your work require you to Is predicting long-term shoreline
knowledge of erosion, transport and forecast the impacts of coastal movements to prepare for erosion
deposition of sediments in the sea? structures on coastal processes? and changes in coastal stability
important to you?

Imagine
Erosion and deposition of sand greatly contributes to many challenges related to coastal and harbour engineering. This can
often be in relation to shoreline management, sedimentation in dredged channels or port entrances, and undertaking of
construction works in the coastal zone. MIKE 21 Sand Transport (ST) and Shoreline Morphology (SM) will help you model all
areas of non-cohesive sediment, such as sand movements and morphological changes across rivers and in coastal areas.

Model sand transport in
combined waves and
currents
Our advanced intra-wave ST
model is used in describing the
movement of sand in the model.
Prescribe the coastal
profile
Achieve long-term and robust
predictions of shoreline
morphology in complex 2D
settings.
Combine different types
of morphological
modelling in one model
This makes it possible to
undertake long-term predictions,
such as of port sedimentation.
Inclusion of a dune
erosion model
The dune erosion model can be
used to calculate the erosion of
the dune during storm
conditions.

Our solution
MIKE 21 ST/SM are our advanced sand transport and shoreline morphology modules with several formulations for current as
well as current-wave generated transport, including 3D description of sediment transport rates and the option to prescribe the
coastal profile. Here’s what you should know:

 The modules are suitable for use in the morphological
optimisation of port layouts, impact of shore protection
schemes, stability of tidal inlets and much more.
 They allow you to model sand transport rates, shorelines,
port layouts, sedimentation in dredged channels and port
entrances, erosion over buried pipelines, as well as river
and estuarine morphology, and more.
 They give you the ability to calculate sediment transport
capacity and related initial rates of bed level changes for
sand due to currents and waves.
 MIKE 21 ST/SM integrate seamlessly with coupled
modelling such as hydrodynamic and wave modules.
They also support efficient parallelisation techniques for
high performance computing.
