The ERRABL project, funded in the context of the Maths-Vives PEPR program ( lang=en-US>) and in collaboration with INRIA Paris and University of Caen, aims to improve the reliability and computational efficiency of hydrodynamic models used to assess tidal-stream energy resource, focusing on the Alderney Race (Raz Blanchard), in Normandy, one of Europe’s most energetic tidal sites. High-fidelity computational models such as Telemac3D (used and developed at University of Caen, lang=en-US>) provide accurate simulations of tidal flows but remain computationally expensive and uncertain due to complex physics (e.g. turbulence, bottom friction) and uncertain inputs (bathymetry, tidal forcing). The computational cost becomes prohibitive when attempting to model the flow over several tidal cycles within a tidal turbine farm, where the turbines are represented using actuator disk models.

To overcome these limitations, ERRABL develops hyb...
