MIKE 21 Boussinesq Waves
Simulate short and long-period wave conditions to support planning, design, and operations
MIKE 21 Boussinesq Waves (BW) stands as the premier software for analysing wave dynamics in ports and harbours. Specifically designed to simulate various wave conditions, from short to long periods, MIKE 21 BW effectively evaluates wave disturbances, optimises harbour layouts, and ensures efficient ship movements and mooring arrangements, thereby minimising operational downtime
With scalability from small harbours to major ports, MIKE 21 BW ensures projects meet the highest standards of safety and efficiency, serving as your go-to solution for comprehensive wave studies.
This software not only simulates vessel responses to various wave conditions but also seamlessly integrates with MIKE 21 Mooring Analysis, providing an all-in-one operational assessment tool.
