TIDAL : free surface fluids mechanics simulation

FLUIDS MECHANICS ENVIRONNEMENT SCIENCES			TIDAL Water quality Hydrodynamics
TIDAL is a coastal hydrodynamics tool for water quality simulation in large areas as bays, estuaries, lakes and nearshore area.		Residual pollutant concentration in an estuary
It allows to take into account several physical phenomena such as currents, tides, winds, gravity and Coriolis forces, friction bottom, heat transfer and chemical reactions. Flooding and draining may also be considered.
The computation is made for stationnary or time-dependent phenomena for any geometry of the site (including islands). Modelisation of inlets and/or outlets is performed when introducing one or several fluid and/or pollutant sources.
The output of the model are, for any points of the site, the intensity and direction of the current velocity, the concentration of one or several chemical species, the local water level and the temperature.		Port Tudy

TIDAL TIDAL has been used for a wide range of practical problems linked with water ressources, industrial and urban wastes, constuction of harbours, ecological impact.		By clicking here you will be given access to a complete demonstrations.
