3+3 Euro méditerranée project Mhycof

This project associates the University Ibn Zohr, Agadir, the Mohamedia Engineering school, the university of Oujda in Morocco, the University of Pisa (Italy) the Universidad de Zaragoza (spain), the Polytechnic school of Tunisia, the university of Paris 13 and Inria Sophia-Antipolis to develop numerical modelling of coastal flows.

Bilateral Scientific Relations

Institute of Mathematical Modeling, Moscow : Acoustics

Participants : Alain Dervieux, Tatiana Kozubskaya [IMM-Moscow] , ILya Abalakin [IMM-Moscou] .

The long-term scientific collaboration with IMM on acoustics focussed this year on new reconstruction schemes for noise propagation with linear and non-linear hyperbolic models.

Ingegneria Aerospaziale, university of Pisa : Turbulence Modeling & Environmental flows.

Participants : Hervé Guillard, Alain Dervieux, Bruno Koobus [Montpellier 2] , Simone Camarri [University of Pisa] , Maria-Vittoria Salvetti [University of Pisa] .

The long-term scientific collaboration with the Department of Ingegneria Aerospaziale at university of Pisa has concerned during last years complex fluid flows with cavitation. It continues with the development of hybrid models for turbulent flows and a common work on the transport of sediment in shallow water flows in the context of the EuroMed 3+3 project MHyCoF.

Texas A & M : High order methods

Participants : Jean-Luc Guermond [Texas A & M University] , Richard Pasquetti.

This collaboration involves the development of techniques to compute solutions of non-linear hyperbolic problems by the use of artificial viscosity. The main idea is here to introduce a non-linear viscous term whose strength is derived from the residual of the entropy equation associated to the considered PDE.

University of Pilsen, Czech Republic

Participants : Petr Vanek [University of Pilsen] , Hervé Guillard.

The collaboration with the University concerns the development of algebraic multigrid solvers for large scale problems encountered in physics modelling and engineering.
