OUR TECHNOLOGY
For more than 25 years, MIKE Powered by DHI software products have been used in water
environments all over the world. Thousands of professionals choose MIKE software to solve tough
and complex challenges in areas such as oceans and coastlines, rivers and reservoirs, ecology,
groundwater, water distribution, wastewater and many more. Our data management, decision
support and operational forecasting software suite traverses all our areas of applications,
complementing existing MIKE technologies in the work we do for you.
FEFLOW PROJECT EXAMPLES
In the Swiss road map to establish repositories for radioactive waste five geologically suitable Client: NAGRA
siting regions in northern Switzerland have been proposed. As a decision basis for the next
selection stage, numerical models of the groundwater flow conditions were elaborated on
regional and local scales. With FEFLOW the geology of the five regions including the proposed
repository sites could be realistically described, including faults, thrusts and anticlines and
taking into account sensitivity analyses and parameter uncertainties.
A historical deep salt mine in Stassfurt in Germany: The salt mine causes serious uncontrolled Client: BMBF
salt leaching and mass displacement effects in the underground. 3D FEFLOW variable density
flow simulations have been performed, incorporating the geometry of the mine workings in
suited detail. Model scenarios gave a better insight into flow and mass transport processes,
which could help to quantify subsidence potential.
Client: LINEG
Impact of polder flooding: Along the river Rhine the impact of a retention polder has been
analyzed with a 3D FEFLOW model. The polder is located in a mining region where subsidence
is evident and artificial regulation of groundwater levels is already obligatory to prevent
flooding of settlements. A special FEFLOW plug-in was developed enabling an accurate
description of the temporal and spatial spreading of the flooded area, with which areas could
be identified that are potentially affected by the polder flooding.
Berlin Water Works: For most of the Berlin Water Works studies have been performed with Client: BWB
FEFLOW. These studies include the quantification of drinking water protection zones,
catchment analyses for changing extraction rates or climatological conditions, mass transport
simulations including hazard risk analyses and remediation strategy development,
quantification of bank infiltration volumes and environmental impact studies.
Underground oil and gas storage: Simulation of the dewatering process during the Client: GEOSTOCK
construction of storage caverns for liquefied natural gas (LNG), including seawater intrusion
(density-dependent flow) and variably saturated flow. The work carried out dealt with
complex geometrical and physical conditions. Within the project innovative solutions for the
posed problems have been applied, including script developments that can also be applied in
other subsurface construction projects.
