- Functional decomposition of RANS Equation to include wave generation and propagation in RANS solvers : the SWENSE (Spectral Wave Explicit Navier-Stokes Equations) principle : advantages compared to usual way to compute wave influence.
c) SPH MESH FREE METHOD :
- General presentation of the SPH method
- Interpolation kernels
- Time marching schemes
- Boundary conditions
- Improvement of accuracy : renormalisation, smoothing, Riemann solver
- Extension to multi-physics simulations, example of fluid-structure modelling using SPH

d) PRATICAL TRAINING :
- Pratical work using a free surface Navier-Stokes solver developed at Centrale Nantes will be proposed to study and compute ship resistance and wave-body interactions cases.
- It includes the meshing of the fluid domain around the studied structure, study of computation convergence with meshing refinement, comparison of results with experments or coming from other numerical methods. Bow impact problems will be studied using a SPH meshless method.

- The goal of this class is to present an overview of the CFD methods for the simulation of free surface flows. Both potential and viscous flow models are studied. The lecture gives exhaustive information concerning the strategies for the discretisation of potential flow equations, Navier-Stokes equations and for the representation of the free surface, either by free surface tracking techniques or by free surface capturing techniques. The pros and cons of eauch strategy are discussed.
- In addition to well established field discretization methods, the SPH (Smooth Particles Hydrodynamics) method is presented. This method has been recently developed for hydrodynamics problems, and solves Navier-Stokes or Euler equations on the basis of a set of interpolating kernels moving with Lagrangian control points, thus not relyingg on any mesh structure. This method is especially efficient for the solution of certain problems of great interest faced by ship designers, such as bow or stern slamming, green water on deck, sloshing flows in LNG tanks, ect...
- Pratical projects are proposed to the students, based on the use of a potential flow solver for naval application, REVA or a finite difference Navier-Stokes solver especially developed for naval applications, ICARE, and on a SPH code dedicated to free surface flow problems, SPH-Flow. Both softwares are developed by Ecole Centrale de Nantes, with partners such as Hydrocean and Bassin d'Essais des Carènes, among others.
