Hi pilou, thank you for your request,
I already saw your paper and i sent you an e-mail about that topic 1 year ago. Your comments were very helpful and I implemented floating docks in a marina model and I wrote a paper on that but i get some reviews about the validation of this kind of procedure in the literature.
And in your user conference article I may be wrong but i don't see in-situ observations or lab experiments that could validate the modeling implementation used in Telemac. In fact, i did a lot of research and i didn't find any other study at that regional/basin scale
On my side, we managed to get current velocities under a floating dock (inside a marina) and we get very good calibration that confirmed and validated our modeling results with this kind of implementation.
Anyway, If you have any other suggestions or comments about that topic i'm really interested.
Kind regards
Jean-Rémy
