Description and contextualization of the subject
The numerical simulation takes a more and more important role in engineering, both for design and operation. Free-surface hydrodynamic flows present physical specificities leading to different classes of approximation and, in turn, different numerical methods. Understand these numerical methods, their relative positioning, their respective domains of use, and how they are used and developed nowadays in terms of software and hardware is crucial to future engineers in the very innovative domain of MRE.Teaching staff
