Coastal Systems International, Inc. utilizes a wide variety of numerical modeling applications to assess physical processes and environmental impacts relative to proposed improvements to beaches, marinas, ports, and marine structures. These models allow the simulation of wind, waves, hurricanes, water quality, tides and currents to aid in the development of coastal and marine related projects. The results of numerical models are an essential tool in developing a complete understanding of the coastal process at a specific project site.

Coastal Systems is one of only a few firms in the United States licensed to utilize the Danish Hydraulic Institute’s (DHI) MIKE21 modeling package. This advanced software employs state-of-the-art computer simulation techniques to model hurricanes and associated storm surge and waves, hydrodynamic processes, water quality, sediment transport processes and morphological changes.

The Coastal Systems’ modeling team recently completed several unique projects including a regional hurricane model of the Caribbean, long period wave oscillation study within a marina, analysis of bridge scour due to extreme storm surge flow, water quality modeling, and erosional “hot-spot” management study evaluating the design of detached breakwaters to minimize erosive forces at the project site.
