LNG Terminal of FOS CAVAOU (FRANCE)
Client : CREOCEAN
Date of completion : 2021 - 2022
Globocean has performed a study of thermal spreading in order to ensure that the colder water rejected by an industrial process of re-gasification does not impact the biocenosis of the Gulf of Fos sur Mer.
The different steps followed for the realization of this study, based on numerical modelling, are the followings:
Modelling of the offshore sea-states (WaveWatchIII software)
Wave propagation nearshore (SWAN software)
Numerical simulation of the tidal streams and wind driven currents (TELEMAC 3D software)
Validation of the hydrodynamic modelling thanks to current and temperature in-situ measurements
Study of the spreading of the thermal plumes according to different pre-defined meteorological scenarios (TELEMAC 3D software)
