• Title: TIDES: Robust simulation tools for non-hydrostatic free surface flows

• Type: Apple à Projets Recherche du Conseil de la Région Aquitaine

• Coordinator: M. Ricchiuto

• Other partners: UMR EPOC (P. Bonneton)

• Abstract: This project proposes to combine modern high order adaptive finite elements techniques with state of the art nonlinear and non-hydrostatic models for free sruface waves to provide an accurate tool for the simulation of near shore hydrodynamics, with application to the study and prediction of tidal bores. The Garonne river will be used as a case study. This project co-funds (50%) the PhD of A. Filippini.
