TIDAL® is an advanced tool for simulating hydrodynamics and water quality in large-scale water bodies, including bays, estuaries, rivers, lakes, and coastal regions. It integrates key physical processes such as currents, tides, wind effects, gravitational and Coriolis forces, bathymetry, friction, sources and sinks, and chemical reactions, ensuring precise modeling of complex aquatic systems. TIDAL® also features dynamic flooding and draining capabilities for coastal lowlands.
The software’s modular architecture enables it to address a broad spectrum of applications, including:
- Water resource management.
- Urban and industrial planning.
- Waste management and pollution control.
- Environmental impact assessments.
TIDAL has been successfully used for solving real-world challenges such as:
- Transport of contaminants in rivers.
- Circulation analysis around power plant intakes and outfalls.
- Modeling industrial effluent contamination.
- Assessing the environmental impact of effluents on water quality.
- Evaluating sewage and urban effluent impacts on lakes and coastal waters.
- Pollution control for rivers and seas.
- Predicting storm surge and hurricane-induced water levels.
- Coastal management for marina construction and operations.
- Analyzing urban water resource planning and its effects.
TIDAL® is a reliable and versatile tool for professionals in water resource management, environmental protection, and urban planning, offering accurate insights and practical solutions for complex water systems.
