Delft-CHESS

A set of mathematical models for coastal, harbour and offshore engineering. These models benefit from our latest research on such topics as water level prediction, simulation of wave and current conditions, sediment transport and morpho-dynamics in the near-shore zone - long-shore and cross-shore sediment transport, coastline dynamics and dune erosion - structural design of breakwaters, and of sea defenses, diffusers and other coastal structures and the hydrodynamics of moored vessels and vessels underway.

The set is specifically designed to be used on PCs, is simple to use and comes with a complete set of post-processing programs. Models are continuously improved on the basis of our own and our clients experience during everyday practice.
