| The transfer of knowledge and technology via software systems continues to receive considerable attention at WL / Delft Hydraulics. Both internal experts and external clients from around the world are involved in the development and application of a range of Delft software systems used in research and specialised consultancy. In-depth knowledge and expertise of the processes involved usually provides the basis for the continuous development of our software products. Advanced software engineering technologies, appropriate hardware system architectures, and accurate as well as solid numerical techniques are used to further improve and modernise the Delft software systems. Whenever possible and feasible, results obtained from computer simulations are validated against experimental investigations and field observations. The resulting suite of Delft software systems may be viewed as a particular means of arriving at electronic knowledge encapsulation which in turn supports the work of both internal users and external clients alike. |
