open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

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!

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

Thank you very much Jean-Michel Hervouet. I will keep my eyes on any updates in this directions.

Kind Regards!

Dear Jean-Michel Hervouet,

Just a quick question. Do you know approximately when next version will be released? If it is planned to be soon then I can wait. Thanks.

Kind Regards!

Hello,

Version 6.3 is expected on 1st of August. See "What's new" in the bottom of home page, we started to give the new features of future versions (oil spills not yet announced).

Thank you very much Jean-Michel Hervouet for such a quick response. It is just perfect for me as I still be in early stage of my project then and it won't be too late. I will look at news. Thanks.

Kind Regards!
