Saint-Venant Hydraulics Laboratory

The Saint-Venant Hydraulics Laboratory (Laboratoire d'Hydraulique Saint-Venant) is a joint laboratory of the CEREMA, EDF R&D, and École des Ponts ParisTech. It specializes in research and development in the field of fluid mechanics applied to hydraulics and the environment and the application of research concerning riverine, maritime, coastal and harbor free surface flows. The laboratory increases understanding of waves, hydraulics, and the associated sediment transport, and develops methods and tools ranging from regional (ocean, watershed) to local scales concerning fluid-structure interactions.
