Testing by the UK Environment Agency confirms the superiority of
MIKE FLOOD
In an independent review just published by the UK Environment Agency MIKE FLOOD comes out far ahead of all other 2D dynamic modelling packages in terms of speed of simulations. Out of 10 tests, MIKE FLOOD is faster than all other products in 8 – and a close 2nd in the two remaining. As the numbers below show, MIKE FLOOD is clearly the world's most powerful 1D/2D hydrodynamic engine for flood modelling.

Relative runtimes of the five modelling packages in the 10 tests and overall.
Lower values means faster simulations. Green (and the value 1) indicates the fastest package.
In another independent review also carried out for the UK Environment Agency, MIKE FLOOD received the highest user ratings for model setup, runtimes, stability, presentation & visualisation of results, sensitivity tests and file management – and MIKE FLOOD achieved the highest overall score in this study
“We are very proud to get the recognition as the fastest and the most user friendly 2D modelling package”
says Morten Rungø, Head of Urban Products in DHI. “It is particularly rewarding that this conclusion is based on an independent review with a level playing field for all participants”.
“As for all the products in the MIKE family, training and support for MIKE FLOOD is available in more than 30 countries world wide and in at least twenty different languages. The superior speed, user friendliness and the global training and support are among the main reasons why MIKE FLOOD is preferred by an ever increasing number of professionals all over the world”
concludes Morten Rungø.
The speed comparison can be found on page 93 of the report “Benchmarking of 2D Hydraulic Modelling Packages”. The above table is converted from runtimes to relative speeds of computation.
