Capabilities

What can Applied MetOcean help with? Senior modelling, review and technical advisory across connected physical systems.

Storm surge, waves, rainfall and rivers in the same question.

Compound Flooding & Climate Risk

Integrated modelling of storm surge, wave setup, rainfall, runoff, infiltration, river hydraulics, sea-level rise and climate-conditioned storm scenarios to understand present and future flood risk.

Selected experience

Patuxent River coastal flood risk and future storm assessment
Grand Cayman arterial road compound flood risk
Hurricane Harvey hydraulic and rainfall-flood modelling
Barbados island-wide coastal risk and sea-level-rise work

Currents, water levels and circulation across connected systems.

Coastal, Ocean & Inland Hydrodynamics

We build and interpret 2D and 3D hydrodynamic models for coasts, oceans, lakes, rivers, estuaries, floodplains and connected inland-coastal systems, including calibration and validation.

Selected experience

Great Lakes ADCIRC+SWAN multiscale model development
Port of Corpus Christi hydrodynamic and salinity modelling
Sizewell intake, outfall and cooling-water studies
Dubai Deep Tunnel stormwater rejection plant marine works

Forcing conditions for design, operations and risk.

Waves, Metocean & Design Criteria

Analysis of wind, waves, pressure fields, tropical and extratropical storms, hindcasts, extremes, operability and offshore or coastal infrastructure exposure.

Selected experience

Northwest Shelf synthetic tropical cyclone database
Caribbean metocean design criteria for offshore structures
North Lake Shore Drive coastal protection alternatives
Rhyl Wind Farm offshore impact modelling

Where sediment goes, and what controls it.

Sediment, Morphodynamics & Dredging

Sediment transport, suspended sediment, dredge plume modelling, erosion and deposition, shoreline evolution, channel sedimentation, bed stability and port or navigation sediment-management questions.

Selected experience

Ponta da Madeira hydrodynamic and sediment transport study
Mid-Barataria and Mid-Breton sediment diversion modelling
Kolkata Port Hugli River regulatory-measures review
Great Yarmouth Outer Harbour sedimentation and navigability studies

Technical studies connected to recognizable infrastructure decisions.

Ports, Harbours, Waterfronts & Marine Infrastructure

We support ports, harbours, marinas, waterfronts and marine infrastructure from site selection and masterplanning through detailed coastal, hydraulic and environmental studies.

Selected experience

Great Yarmouth Outer Harbour sedimentation and navigability studies
Payra Port feasibility and masterplanning support
Krishnapatnam Port expansion studies
Abu Dhabi nuclear power plant breakwater design support

Physical transport connected to environmental consequence.

Environmental & Water Quality Modelling

Modelling and interpretation for salinity, temperature, suspended sediment, sediment-associated contaminants, wetlands, restoration projects, ecological hydraulics and environmental approvals.

Selected experience

Ontario Place West Island thermal and water-quality design support
Kalamazoo River PCB fate and transport modelling
EGA Jebel Ali desalination heat and brine dispersion
H2Ohio Sandusky Bay wetland hydrodynamics and mud transport

When the workflow has to be built around the problem.

Scientific Computing, Model Development & HPC

Scientific programming, automation, batch modelling, data pipelines, model coupling, source-code modification, bespoke computational tools and secure local HPC workflows.

Selected experience

OceanMesh2D multiscale mesh generation for coastal ocean models
REEF3D boundary-treatment and particle-tracking development
TELEMAC rainfall-runoff and compound-flood workflow modification
Parallel CEST storm surge model development

A senior technical check on promises, methods and evidence.

Independent Review, Litigation & Technical Evidence

We provide independent review of models, proposals, reports and technical documents to test whether the work meets the specification, whether the proposed methods are credible and what assumptions, omissions or evidence gaps remain.

Selected experience

FEMA coastal flood risk study review for Palm Beach County
Toronto Port Lands sediment and hydrodynamic model review
El Dabba NPP cooling-water due-diligence review
Lower Ouse modelling review and future data-collection recommendations

Scientific software matters

When rigid workflows fail, the method has to move.

We often work with open and adaptable modelling systems such as TELEMAC because complex flood, coastal and environmental problems rarely fit inside rigid workflows. REEF3D supports detailed CFD work where phase-resolving flow, wave interaction or bespoke numerical development is required. OceanMesh2D, developed by Dr. Keith Roberts, supports automated unstructured mesh generation for coastal ocean modelling and multiscale domains.
