sis has therefore been placed on the capabilities for graphical presentation in
MIKE Zero and it is an area which will be expanded and focused on even fur-
ther in future versions (e.g. GIS).
Essentially, one plot gives more information than scores of tables and if you
can present it in colours, your message will be even more easily understood.
A good way of presenting the model results is using contour plots of e.g. the
calculated wave disturbance coefficient by using the Plot Composer tool in
MIKE Zero.
Instantaneous pictures/videos of the simulated surface elevations can also be
generated in the Plot Composer. For 3D visualisation MIKE Animator Plus is
recommended.

A Quick Guide for MIKE 21 BW Model Simulation Setup
This section includes a chronological list of tasks you should pass through
when setting up a MIKE 21 BW model simulation. Emphasis is put on appli-
cations using the 2DH module.
In addition a step-by-step training guide on how to set up a MIKE 21 BW
model for a typical application can be accessed online via the Documentation
index.
Providing MIKE21 BW with a suitable bathymetry (dfs2 data file for 2DH
applications and dfs1 data file for 1DH applications) is essential for obtaining
reliable results from the model. Based on available xyz data for the area of
interest you create the model bathymetry by use of the
MIKE Zero tool
Bathymetry Editor
. The above mentioned step-by-step guide shows how to
generate a bathymetry from scratch.
1.
When setting up the bathymetry it should be kept in mind that the
bathymetry determines which wave conditions that can be modelled. The
maximum water depths restrict the minimum wave period that can be
modelled and the minimum water depth may restrict the wave height if
wave breaking is not included. Therefore it can be necessary to modify
the bathymetry to reach an acceptable compromise between a correct
bathymetry and correct wave conditions. Please use the
Java Script embedded in the Online Help when
you are setting up the bathymetry.
Following ranges of grid spacing are typically used in practical applica-
tions
–
x
= 2-10 m for the 2DH module without wave breaking
–
x
= 1-2 m for the 2DH module including wave breaking and moving
