Numerical Modelling Studies
Oceanographic and hydraulic engineering requires extensive theoretical knowledge and genuine practical experience from real projects, physical models and numerical models. NIRAS has undertaken offshore modelling of water levels, currents, waves and wind in order to obtain high quality metocean data to inform the design of offshore and nearshore projects for a wide range of sites around the world.
Our specialists have decades of experience in solving complex modelling aspects covering essential inputs for both environmental and engineering purposes, including:
- Hydrodynamics
- Waves climate
- Water exchange & flushing
- Recirculation
- Dredged spill
- Sediment transport
- Wave agitations
- Littoral drifts & shorelines
- Mooring analysis
- CFD (Computational Fluids Dynamics)
