TELEMAC-MASCARET integrated suite of solvers: MASCARET, TOMAWAC, ARTEMIS, TELEMAC-2D, TELEMAC-3D, SISYPHE (Link)

Modification of the source codes of models MASCARET, TOMAWAC, ARTEMIS,
TELEMAC-2D, TELEMAC-3D, and SISYPHE, in order to perform specialized simulations of wave, hydrodynamic and morphodynamic processes in the marine and coastal environment.
​

Applications of the modified versions of the above models are presented in publications [J.13], [J.14], [J.16], [J.17], [J.18] (in Journals) and [C.15], [C.18], [C.19], [C.22], [C.26], [C.28], [C.29], [C.31] (in Conferences).​
MEDSLIK-II – Oil Spill Modeling (Link)

Modification of the source code of model MEDSLIK-II, in order to improve the representation of nearshore coastal processes (wave processes, oil spill beaching).
​
Applications of the modified version of the model are presented in publications [J.06], [J.10] (in Journals) και [C.16], [C.23], [C.27] (in Conferences).

​
PELNCON-M – Shoreline Evolution Software

Development of an integrated software (source code and Graphical User Interface) for the simulation of shoreline evolution under the effect of waves, coastal structures, beach nourishment projects and sediment input from rivers and natural streams.

Details on the structure and capabilities of the software are presented in my Doctoral Dissertation (Chapter 4; see also manual [SM.03]) and in journal publication [J.08], while results of its applications are also presented in publications [J.03], [J.04], [J.05] (in Journals) and [C.11], [C.12], [C.14] (in Conferences).
SLICK_F – Oil Spill Modelling

Development of an integrated software (source code and Graphical User Interface) for the simulation of oil spill evolution in the marine environment.

Details on the structure and capabilities of the software are presented in manual [SM.04], while its theoretical documentation and applications’ results are presented in publications [J.09], [J.11] (in Journals) and [C.20], [C.24] (in Conferences).
WAVE_SP, WAVE_L, WAVE_BQ, SICIR, WICIR and SEDTR

Collaboration with Prof. Theophanis V. Karambas on the evolution of the developed models:
  • WAVE_LS, for the simulation of wave propagation in large-scale coastal areas.
  • WAVE_L, for the simulation of wave propagation towards the shore, wave transformation due to the presence of structures and wave agitation in harbours.
  • WAVE_BQ, for the simulation of wave propagation towards the shore, simulation of tsunamis and ship-borne waves, wave transformation in the nearshore (up to the swash zone), wave transformation due to the presence of structures and wave agitation in harbours, based on the higher-order Boussinesq equations and with a series of additional capabilities compared to WAVE_L.
  • SICIR, for the simulation of storm-induced 2D-hydrodynamics.
  • WICIR, for the simulation of nearshore wave-induced 2D-hydrodynamics.
  • SEDTR, for the simulation of sediment transport and bed morphology evolution in coastal areas.

Applications of the above models are presented in publications [J.07], [J.12], [J.15], [J.20], [J.21] (in Journals) and [C.13], [C.32], [C.33], [C.34], [C.36], [C.37] (in Conferences).
PELNCON-M_EDU_G – Shoreline Evolution Around Groins

Development of an integrated software (source code and Graphical User Interface) for the simulation of shoreline evolution in the vicinity of a groin under the effect of waves (educational version of the PELNCON-M software).

Details on the structure and capabilities of the software are presented in the software’s Theoretical Documentation [SM.01] and User Manual [SM.02].
