Summary

This software development article describes enhancements made to Blue Kenue, a free hydrodynamic modeling pre- and post-processing tool maintained by the National Research Council Canada. The update covers improved visualization capabilities and expanded support for the TELEMAC-MASCARET modeling system. This is a computational hydrology software article with no connection to microplastic research.

Blue Kenue® has been under development for about 20 years, and provides a framework for pre-processing, postprocessing and visualization of hydrodynamic model data. The National Research Council Canada makes this software freely available for use by the open TELEMAC-MASCARET user community and benefits significantly from the knowledge that the community shares. The paper will briefly describe some of the key changes to Blue Kenue that have been implemented over the last 5 years (such as how attributes are improving, how internal organization is changing and which new features have been added) and will provide some initial thoughts about potential future Blue Kenue enhancements (such as improved data analytics and additional modelling support for icehydrodynamics, microplastics and/or oil). The paper is intended to help be a starting point to identify needs and priorities for future development.
