Kostarisk joint research laboratory has received government funding managed by the French National Research Agency under the France 2030 Investment Plan (ref. ANR-16-IDEX-0002).
SIAMEThe Laboratory for applied sciences in mechanics and electrical engineering
The SIAME laboratory is a research team of the University of Pau and the Pays de l'Adour (UPPA) whose research is carried out in the field of Engineering Sciences.
- Complex and energetic flows (EE),
- Geomaterials and structures for civil engineering (GS),
- Wave / Structure Interaction (IVS),
- High Voltage Processes (PHT).
The research is based on experimental expertise, modelling and numerical simulations. The laboratory is a member of the UPPA research federations IPRA and MIRA, and of the Carnot ISIFoR Institute. One of the Laboratory's major assets is its long-standing partnership activity, which is reflected in the participation of teams in three joint research laboratories (SAGE, Kostarisk and UPPA - Nobatek).
The SIAME team involved in Kostarisk is the Interaction Waves Structures (IVS) team. IVS has been developing for 20 years now high-level research in wave modelling which has resulted in national and international recognition through publications and participation in community projects, expertise to support local authorities in charge of coastal risk management along the Basque coast. One of the important recognized skills of this team is the Navier-Stokes wave modeling which has been the guiding thread of the team since its creation. The team has also contributed strongly to the development of nearshore wave modelling and their impacts on coastal structures at multi-scales and to the observation and monitoring of coastal processes during extreme wave conditions.
