Dear All,

I am a new to the TELEMAC and hope somebody could answer my query. My project is on Greenlandic fjord dynamics and I need to consider the floating bodies (icebergs) in my simulations. On manual it is said that a submerged body cannot be represented. Does it mean that software is not suitable for such projects? Or maybe there have been some progress made since to consider the floating body, and possibly vertical rotation of such body can be re-created in some layers of ambient waters. Thank you.

Kind Regards!

Violeta

Hello,

The situation will evolve in the next version, because floating bodies have been improved and will work in parallel. We also plan to issue the oilspill model, with particles that remain at the free surface. However in the case of icebergs, they are moved according to an action of 3D currents integrated over their height, as discovered by Ekman, and this would be something to implement.

With best regards,

Jean-Michel Hervouet
