Presentation

Among all aspects of geosciences, we mainly focus on gravity driven flows arising in many situations such as

  • hazardous flows (flooding, rogue waves, landslides...),

  • sustainable energies (hydrodynamics-biology coupling, biofuel production, marine energies...),

  • risk management and land-use planning (morphodynamic evolutions, early warning systems...)

There exists a strong demand from scientists and engineers in fluid mechanics for models and numerical tools able to simulate not only the water depth and the velocity field but also the distribution and evolution of external quantities such as pollutants or biological species and the interaction between flows and structures (seashores, erosion processes...). The key point of the researches carried out within ANGE is to answer this demand by the development of efficient, robust and validated models and numerical tools.
