MIKE URBAN
MIKE URBAN is an urban modeling software package used to model water conveyance systems.[1] MIKE URBAN was developed by DHI and is built using ArcGIS Desktop, a software product of ESRI.
Scholarly reviews[edit]
In a review of seven software packages for modeling urban rainwater, at the 2007 conference on Rainwater and Urban Design, only MIKE URBAN and Hydro Planner were described as the two packages that were "tightly integrated".[2] It noted that only MIKE URBAN and UrbanCycle could build model with intervals as short as a single hour. The review highlighted MIKE URBAN as the package that best modeled water quality.
The authors of Role of Rainfall and Catchment Characteristics on Urban Stormwater Quality compared MIKE URBAN with MUSIC and XP-SWMM, and concluded it was superior, for numerous reasons, including being able model with smaller intervals, and being able to take water quality into account.[3]
Modules[edit]
MIKE URBAN includes three main modules: MIKE URBAN Model Manager, Collection System (CS) module, Water Distribution modules.
The Model Manager provides the primary user interface and manages the various network elements of MIKE URBAN.
The Collection System module is generally used for modeling of free surface or combined free surface and pressurized hydraulic networks, such as urban sewer collection systems or storm drain collection systems. The Collection System module can be used with either SWMM or MOUSE as its underlying hydraulic engine. Some of the features include pipe flow simulation, rainfall-runoff simulation, real-time control simulation, pollutant transport simulation, biological processes simulation.
The Water Distribution module is generally used for hydraulic modeling of pressurized distribution system networks, such as urban drinking water distribution systems, and uses EPANET as its underlying hydraulic engine. Some of the features include automatic calibration of water distribution network models, fire-flow tool for analyzing the capacity of water distribution systems, control simulation options for extended period simulations, transient flow simulation of fully pressurized systems.
Applications[edit]
MIKE URBAN can be used for collection system and water distribution system data management, stormwater modeling, wastewater modeling and water distribution network modeling.
Some examples of utilities which use Mike Urban for hydraulic modeling of their sewer or stormwater collection systems include the City of Lynnwood, Washington (United States),[4] Lexington, Kentucky (United States),[5] and Washington DC (United States).[6]

MIKE URBAN is capable of accurately simulating hydrologic processes and requires event-based rainfall data. In terms of data import, MIKE URBAN displays strong capability for importing different types of data such as Mapinfo, Excel, and Geographic Information System (GIS) databases since the software is a GIS-based hydraulic and hydrologic model. This translates to an ease of model setup in MIKE URBAN compared with the other two models. Therefore based on a comprehensive consideration of these criteria, MIKE URBAN was selected for the research study.
