A better understanding of waves to improve our climate models sylvie.kemenovic Fri, 02/21/2025 - 13:42

Modeling waves crashing against a shoreline

The aim of the WAVECLIM project is to fill in the gaps in our understanding of the role of often dramatic coastal wave breaking in global climate models.

Frédéric Dias

Frédéric Dias, professor at the Centre Borelli at ENS Paris-Saclay and University College Dublin, explains the challenges of this ambitious project. His research on waves, combined with international research initiatives, has already been supported by 2 ERC grants (2019: ERC Advanced Grant for the interdisciplinary HIGHWAVE project and 2023: ERC Advanced Grant for the interdisciplinary HIGHWAVE project). : ERC Proof of Concept Grant pour le projet REALTIMESEA).

The WAVECLIM project

The project will use advanced sensor technology and Machine Learning (ML) to capture and integrate coastal wave breaking dynamics into predictive models.

State-of-the-art monitoring equipment, including lidars and drones, will be deployed to provide unprecedented data on coastal wave breaking under various conditions. ML models trained on these observations will be integrated into climate models, correcting biases and improving the accuracy of future climate predictions.

“This pioneering approach builds on recent successes in integrating machine learning into climate modeling, promising more realistic projections at a fraction of the computational cost,” said Professor Serge Guillas of UCL, WAVECLIM project leader.
“It is well known that the breaking of ocean waves on coasts plays an important role in air-sea exchanges, sediment transport and coastal erosion,” explains Professor Christine Gommenginger, who leads the research team at the NOC.

The project is funded by the UK's Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA), which supports ambitious research that can challenge existing assumptions or open up new avenues of investigation.

Le LMPS, un laboratoire à la pointe de l’innovation pour un avenir durable

vraoult — Thu, 19 Dec 2024 11:38:11 +0000

The LMPS, a laboratory at the forefront of innovation for a sustainable future sylvie.kemenovic Mon, 02/10/2025 - 10:20

Societal issues and technological innovation

The LMPS is structured around five major challenges: sustainable development, risk management, transport, health, and data science and artificial intelligence. These themes are at the heart of the research carried out by its teams, who draw on cutting-edge skills in modeling, experimentation and digital simulation.

For example, to reduce the carbon footprint of construction materials, Labcom MC²E (Eco-Efficient Cement Materials), in partnership with ECOCEM, is developing eco-materials, including a low-carbon cement that reduces CO2 emissions by 80% compared with traditional cements. These innovations aim to improve the sustainability of construction while reducing the energy requirements of the civil engineering sector.

In addition, the LMPS is contributing to the digital transition through the use of data to optimally design and operate systems. The use of digital twins makes it possible to anticipate structural failures and better manage environmental risks. A typical example of this research is the ERC DREAM-ON project, which focuses on the design of intelligent autonomous mechanical structures, capable of performing on-line health checks and taking anticipatory action during service before critical events occur.

New lines of research

The LMPS explores advanced technologies, notably through in-situ testing at different scales, intensive use of imaging, computational mechanics and artificial intelligence. These tools enable us to accurately model the behavior of materials and structures under extreme conditions, providing more reliable simulations and more accurate predictions. The laboratory is fully involved in 4 of the 6 challenges of the next CNRS contract for objectives, resources and performance: Limitless Instrumentation, Generative AI for Science, Materials of the Future and Societies in Transition.

The laboratory is structured into four major research teams covering a variety of fields such as materials behavior, architected media, advanced numerical mechanics, vulnerabilitý of constructions... These teams develop innovative methods to meet the needs of industrial sectors, particularly in experimentation, multi-scale modeling and simulation and high-performance numerical methods.

Collaborations and strategic partnerships

The LMPS has developed numerous partnerships with major industrial players such as SAFRAN, Michelin, EDF, ECOCEM and SNCF, as well as with international academic institutions. Among these collaborations, the IRTG CoMeTeNd with the Leibniz University of Hanover is particularly noteworthy. This partnership, dedicated to high-dimensional computational mechanics techniques, strengthens LMPS capabilities in advanced numerical modeling and optimization of materials and structures under extreme conditions.

These international academic collaborations (36 nationalities are represented within LMPS), strengthen the scope of LMPS research and promote the emergence of technological solutions adapted to the global challenges of climate change and sustainable development.

Key scientific results

The LMPS has made significant scientific advances, notably in model reduction techniques, experimental mechanics (particularly multi-axial aspects, hybrid control, and multi-modal in situ 2D-3D-4D field measurement), materials damage, instability and fracture modeling, earthquake engineering, and improving the robustness of infrastructures in the face of natural hazards. This work is helping to improve the predictability and durability of materials used in various industrial sectors, from construction to aeronautics.

The MINERVE project, developed in collaboration with SNCF and RATP, and the ANR Industrial HEAT COFFEE Chair in collaboration with RTE illustrate LMPS's commitment to adapting infrastructures to the challenges of climate change, while aiming for carbon neutrality. While MINERVE aims to achieve carbon neutrality in the rail infrastructure sector while adapting these infrastructures to climate change, HEAT COFFEE tackles the issue of the sustainability of electrical infrastructures and their environmental impact.

A sustainable future

Thanks to its capacity for innovation, the LMPS is positioned as a key player in mechanical engineering research, supported by solid collaborations and ambitious projects. Its research meets the challenges of sustainable development, while exploring new technologies to optimize energy efficiency and extend the lifespan of infrastructures. Together with its industrial and academic partners, LMPS is actively contributing to building a more sustainable and resilient future.
