Mechanics and energetics LHSV . Saint-Venant hydraulics laboratory A joint laboratory between Ecole nationale des ponts et chaussées and EDF R&D. The laboratory conducts R&D activities in the field of fluid mechanics applied to environmental hydraulics. Research areas Modeling and simulation of liquid flows and waves Risk forecasting (floods, submersions, storm surges, erosion) Fluid/structure interactions (sediment, swimmer, dike) Morphodynamics Key figures 15 permanent staff 2 postdoctoral students 15 PhD students 20 publications in 2024 > Read more > Read more discover LHSV website > The Laboratory develops physical knowledge on liquid flows and waves, analysis methods, and numerical simulation tools. The research applications mainly concern free-surface hydraulics in rivers, lakes, estuaries, and coastal areas. The work covers a range of scales from the regional scale (such as a sea and watersheds) to the scale of structures, works, and ecosystems relevant to hydraulic engineering through interactions with water movements (dams, dikes, macrophyte populations, etc.).
