Highlights of the Year

• A whole new release of the mesh adaptation platform MMG is available, with a brand new looking website : http://www.mmgtools.org/  ;

• We have solved the conflict between the conservation of either mass and steady equilibria relevant in applications (lake at rest state) when performing mesh-adaptive computations of shallow water flows. This algorithm will be embedded in the FMG adaptation library which will be part of the MMG tools ;

• We have shown the potential of Boussinesq-type depth averaged codes for the simulation of Wave Energy Converters [97] , [98] . This result paves the way to the construction of new medium fidelity models to be used in the optimization of converters. This will be achieved in the framework of the MIDWEST project funded this year (EU OCEANEranet call) ;

• We have finally proven that fully discrete asymptotic approaches allow to construct new discretizations of depth averaged weakly nonlinear Boussinesq models with greatly improved phase and linear shoaling. We are now working on the construction of improved genuinely nonlinear models ;
