Applications to marine energies

Partially free surface flow

Participants : Martin Parisot, Fabien Wahl.

In view of taking into account interactions with buoys, a new formulation of the shallow water model is derived with a constraint corresponding to a static roof. A relaxation approach is considered to adapt the standard numerical schemes. A particular attention is paid to the energy law whether it be for the original model with constraint or the relaxed version.

Swell energy

Participants : Sebastian Reyes-Riffo, Julien Salomon.

The internship consisted in designing an optimisation algorithm to determine advantageous topographies in view of producing energy from swell. This approach corresponds to the coupling between a shallow water type model with iterative updates of the topography. Stability of the numerical scheme is a critical point and requires the tuning of parameters.
