Hydrodyn-SEDSOFT

It is an absolute user friendly system, developed specifically for environmental engineers, who may not have much exposure to numerical concepts in data creation , calculation and analysis.

What is SEDSOFT?

Hydrodyn-SEDSOFT is an advanced computer software used to simulate cohesive and non-cohesive sediment transport in coastal waters of estuarine systems in complex geometry with high order (precision) numerical schemes. This software can be used to study the hydraulic behavior of a system with seasonal inflows and to locate an idle site for dumping the dredging material.

The software can be used to calculate the transport and dispersion of sediments at the dredging, drilling and dumping sites. This can also be used for prediction of bed level variation due to sediments entrained in to the system (model water body) and also to study for safe guarding in the changes of bed configuration as well as banks.

Features

• 3D BFC grid and simulation can be done for any arbitrary shaped topography of flow domains.


• Built-in Grid Generator, which is based on BFC methodology.


• Uses sigma-coordinate system vertically and hence irregular bottom topography of the river can be studied accurately.


• Can be used for modeling of lateral flows.


• Boundary conditions can be defined at any location.


• Integration of pre and post processor facilities.


• Digitization of various hydrographical features.


• Solver has cold start and hot start options


• Help menu facilities are available.

Application Areas

• Dispersion of sediments due to drilling and dumping activities
• Impact on marine environment due to sediment entrainment from various sources
• Tidal Circulation and Sediment transport in the coastal environment
• Deep water sediment Plume analysis
• Navigation channel and Management
• Circulation and Beach erosion analysis
