 Output characterisation
OUTPUT SENTENCE

3D computational tool for floatting oil barrier.

 
OUTPUT TYPEe-tool 
WATER TOPICIndustrial pollution 
KEYWORDSOil-spill 
KEYWORDS TYPESoftware ?Experimentations 1 and 2 results (La Roc 
MARKET NEED TAILORED

Maritime strategy 2020 ?

 
OUTPUT DESCRIPTION

The ouput is a finite-element software BAR3D linked to FORBAR a finite difference software, both dedicated to floating barrier computation; Software in the language Scilab (free version of MATLAB) ?

 
INNOVATIVE ASPECTS AND ADVANTAGES

Consortium protocol for BAR3D partners ?

 
TRANSFERABILITY

The software FORBAR is not publicly available ?

 
POTENTIAL USERS/CLIENTS

Local and regional communities, oil-spill responders (1-2 users per country: F, UK? China,…)

 
 Estimation of risks
INNOVATIVE DISADVANTAGE

Recommendations for the output from CEDRE in January 2010 stay to be implemented (human interface essentially)

EVALUATION OF RISKS FOR OUTPUT USERS
  • Description of the objectives of the end-users (oil-spill responders)
  • Such software must be operational
ECONOMICAL RISKSOnly 1-2 users per country? ?
TECHNICAL RISKSEvolving from FORBAR to another tool (finite-element) is a risk scientifically speaking (convergence of the computation) ? ?
MARKET RISKSPreparedness means to be complementary between oil-spill response deployment and computational tool (simple in BOOM CALCULATOR, more difficult in FORBAR, BAR3D ?) ?PICSES is a main competitive tool in maritime safety ?
 Steps ahead
NEXT STEPS TO ACHIEVE THE STATUS 'READY TO USE'

Interface with hydrodynamic modelling is often mentioned, as optimisation for optimal deployment ?

TYPE OF PARTNER FOR THE NEXT DEVELOPMENTSIntegrate a community of users? ?Permitting a large access to the product
TASKS TO BE PERFORMED

For the software in a community: small or large scale tests, development of user friendly interface, users’ guide…

COLLABORATION DETAILS

The product may be not supported by the market…

 Estimation of ressources
RESOURCES FOR NEXT STEPS
  • Training of the users
  • Evolution of the human interface
  • Taking into account the operational questions of oil-spill responders
FORESEEN COSTS FOR NEXT STEPS

Costs can be heavy if versatility and interoperability are not taken into account
