Numerical simulation, when calbrated and validated by physical model resulsts, allows to evaluate a wide range of design alternatives of maritime structures or devices. The combined and synergic approach of numerical and physical modelling leads to further optimization of the structure design and to a maximization of the performance. The AM3 team is able to use numerical modeling codes from the world of commercial, open-source and proprietary waters. Possible applications include:
Study of wave motion, offshore to nearshore propagation;
Study of currents and coastal solid transport;
Storm surge reconstruction;
Interaction of coastal works with wave motion, currents and coastal dynamics;
Morphodynamic simulations, evolution of the shoreline and the coastal profile;
Water quality;
Aquaculture plants.
