Is this course right for me?
This course is right for you if:
✔️ You are a professional in offshore, hydraulics, hydrodynamics, geotechnics, or engineering management
✔️ You work with the design, installation, and commissioning of marine structures or as a researcher in coastal, ocean, and marine civil engineering
✔️ You have basic knowledge of coastal engineering and related MIKE tools either through experience or participation in the self-paced courses ‘Getting started with 2D hydrodynamic modelling’ and ‘Dive into data processing and visualisation with MIKE Zero’
✔️ You have participated in the online course ‘MIKE 21 Mooring Analysis – Dynamic analysis of moored vessels’
You are prepared to complete a four-module instructor-led online course, supplemented by a one-hour introduction to the structure and methodology of the course, over five weeks with group work included in each module
Your schedule allows you to allocate two hours to complete assignments for each module
What are my expected outcomes?
Upon completion of the course, you will be able to:
✔️ Identify scour issues
✔️ Assess scour risk
✔️ Determine mitigation solutions for different marine structures
✔️ Understand the last decade of research and development within the field of marine scour
How will I learn?
This course includes four modules conducted via online live sessions by our qualified trainer. You will learn through a combination of instructor-led lectures, demonstration videos and quizzes, hands-on exercises and reading materials.
Throughout the course, you will have ample time to discuss tips & tricks, best practices and examples with your instructor and fellow participants.
A major part of the online sessions is allocated to group work, which is based on home assignments set by your trainer. For maximum benefits, you are strongly advised to allocate a minimum of two hours of self-study for each of the five modules. There will be no homework for the one-hour online introduction to the structure and methodology of the course.
Modules
This online course is divided into five sessions, a 1-hour introductory session and four 2-hour training sessions.
Introduction to course structure and methodology
Topics: Course materials and learning methodology, homework requirements, deadlines, introduction to Zoom meeting software
Module 1 | Introduction to scour assessment for offshore wind farms
Topics: What is scour and why is it relevant? Scour assessment for cables, pipelines and monopiles, transience in scour due to environmental forcing including long term changes, effect of backfilling, effect of migrating bed forms and seabed lowering
Module 2 | Scour in complex soils and scour protection for offshore wind farms
Topics: Scour in complex soils, scour at complex structures (such as pile groups and jackets), scour mitigation and scour protection systems, dynamic behaviour of scour protection systems
Module 3 | Scour protection measures – Panel discussion and best practices
Topics: Static and dynamic designs of rock dump, dynamic responses of scour protections, time-integrated design of scour and scour protections
Module 4 | Numerical modelling of scour
Topics: Simulation of scour and backfilling around monopile in MIKE 21 and MIKE 3, recent advances—examples and cases, hands-on exercises including computer simulations in MIKE 21
Instructors
Thor is Managing Director for DHI Denmark and Vice President for Offshore Wind. He is a specialist in scour and scour protection for marine, coastal and offshore structures and has been working with design, consultancy and research on the topics internationally for more than 11 years. Thor has been involved in several research projects and product development for DHI in the world-leading marine modelling software, MIKE Powered by DHI.
PhD, MSc, BSc, Technical University of Denmark
Anders is a senior hydraulic engineer with over 15 years of experience in hydrodynamics around offshore structures, focusing on scour and scour protection. He is deeply involved in scour protection optimisation processes and was instrumental in developing the industry-recognised single-graded scour protection method. Anders is adept in wave loads on offshore structures and has been involved in commercial and research projects applying both physical and numerical model testing.
