open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

Hello

I have used telemac 2D and the model is running correctly. Nevertheless I would like to know whether is possible to include barrages in certain area of my domain to simulate the presence of a turbines with different diameters sizes. Therefore my questions are:
1. How can I do that?

2. Is there a method using telemac to estimate the power energy using any diameter of barrages?


Thanks

Joel

Yes, tidal barrage is possible. I'm surprised this is not already on the forum.

As for the methodology, I've listed a few references:

Xia, J., Falconer, R. A., and Lin, B. 2010. Hydrodynamic impact of a tidal barrage in the Severn Estuary, UK. Renewable Energy, 35:1455-1468.

Xia, J., Falconer, R. A., and Lin, B. 2010. Impact of different operating modes for a Severn Barrage on the tidal power and flood inundation in the Severn Estuary, UK. Applied Energy, 87:2374-2391.

This should guide you in the right direction.

For Telemac, using Fortran would be your best solution. I've done this a while back: I've modified SOURCE_TELEMAC2D,PROXIM,UTIMP_TELEMAC2D and DEBSCE.

I've attached a fortran file however I don't have a simple example right now. I might have time this week to create and share a simple example. Hope this help...for now.

Kind regards,
Julien

Dear Julien

Thank you very much for your information. It would be nice for all the Telemac's users to have an example of the subroutines within a realistic example and how it works. Hopefully, you might have some time to add this information as well.

Thank you
