In an independent review, just published by the UK Environment Agency (EA), MIKE FLOOD comes out far ahead of all other 2D dynamic modeling packages in terms of speed of simulations, according to Mike by DHI. Out of 10 tests, MIKE FLOOD is faster than all other models in eight of the tests--and a close second in the two remaining tests. The results of the testing, summarized in the table below, demonstrate that MIKE FLOOD is a powerful software for integrated 1D/2D hydrodynamic flood modeling.
In another independent review also carried out for the UK Environment Agency, MIKE FLOOD received the highest user ratings for model setup, runtimes, stability, presentation & visualization of results, sensitivity tests and file management--and MIKE FLOOD achieved the highest overall score in this study.
“We are very proud to get the recognition as the fastest and the most user friendly 2D modeling package,” said Morten Rungø, head of urban products in DHI. “It is particularly rewarding that this conclusion is based on an independent review with a level playing field for all participants.
“As for all the products in the MIKE family, training and support for MIKE FLOOD is available in more than 30 countries worldwide and in at least 20 different languages. The superior speed, user friendliness and the global training and support are among the main reasons why MIKE FLOOD is preferred by an ever increasing number of professionals all over the world.”
The speed comparison can be found on page 93 of the report “Benchmarking of 2D Hydraulic Modeling Packages.”
