LHEEA - News & events

The European research project FLOATECH is back at the LHEEA's wave and ocean engineering tank for a second test campaign. The teams involved continue to study the hydrodynamic forces that impact a floating wind turbine in order to improve its performance.

The Mervent 2025 project led by Zéphyr & Borée and its partners CWS, GTT and Centrale Nantes was selected as part of the CORIMER Call for Expression of Interest 2022. Mervent aims to build the first container ship powered by hybrid sail/synthetic fuel.

In 2022, the offshore test site SEM-REV began a phase of investment and works to enhance its capacity to host new demonstration and research projects. Following the award of the underwater equipment supply contract launched in 2022, a consortium, led by INYANGA, recently delivered the new submarine cables and connectors.

Building on their long-standing collaboration with Nextflow Software, Centrale Nantes and Siemens Digital Industries Software are stepping up their cooperation in the field of numerical simulation applied to fluid mechanics by launching a new joint research chair. The agreement provides for multi-year funding to the tune of several million euros, with the aim of keeping both organisations at the forefront of digital simulation technology using SPH methods.

Centrale Nantes was present at the 6th edition of the 'Nuit Blanche des chercheurs' organised by Nantes University on 2 February 2023.

Behavior and aging modeling of a battery used for automotive propulsion

Join us on Thursday 2 February 2023 at Stereolux, Hall 6 West. For this new edition of the "Nuit Blanche des Chercheurs" in Nantes on the theme "Vibrations". Come along and discover the buzzing world of research in Nantes! Centrale Nantes' research teams will give presentations on themes ranging from Marine Renewable Energies to earthquakes and the properties of explosions!

Compact High-Order Accurate Scheme for Laminar Incompressible Two-Phase Flows

Hubert Chanson, professor at the University of Queensland (Australia), is at Centrale Nantes on the invitation of the LHEEA - Research Laboratory in Hydrodynamics, Energetics and Atmospheric Environment (Centrale Nantes/CNRS). His lecture "Fluid Mechanics applied to Natural Disasters" will take place in lecture theatre E from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm. It will be held in English.

This symposium is the worldwide meeting of specialists in research and development in fluid mechanics as they relate to naval hydrodynamics.
