Abstract

Since the beginning, the hydraulical modelling applied to the environment never stopped its evolution from the computation of flow in the sewer networks and the rivers to the propagation and evolution of the pollution within those systems. On the same time, these models turned from research objects to largelly used engineering tools, with heavy consequences on their further developments. Thus it is important to maintain the link between research and innovation, on one side, large use and industrialisation, on the other side.
