openTELEMAC

Open source environmental hydraulics software

Simulation made with openTELEMAC
openTELEMAC is much more than a computation suite: it is a complete modelling system, driven by an international consortium of industrial and academic partners

  • Origin & Legitimacy

    • Over 35 years of development at EDF
    • Released as open source under the GNU GPL licence since 2010 by the TELEMAC-MASCARET consortium
    • At the heart of a vast network of academic and industrial players in environmental hydraulics

  • Technical power

    • 1D, 2D and 3D hydrodynamics: MASCARET, TELEMAC-2D, TELEMAC-3D
    • Coupled modules: sediments (GAIA), ice (KHIONE), waves (TOMAWAC, ARTEMIS), water quality (WAQTEL)
    • Finite elements and finite volumes, optimised for kilometre-scale domains and multi-year time scales

  • Quality & Reliability (V&V)

    • 200 validation cases representative of the modelled physics
    • User feedback passed directly to EDF R&D and the consortium developers
    • User, theory and validation documentation

  • HPC performance

    • Multi-thread and multi-core parallelisation
    • Suited to industrial HPC use
    • Large-scale flood, coastal surge and shoreline simulations with no licence cost

  • Open Source & Transparency

    • Free: no licence cost, accessible to everyone
    • Open source code, a reference in hydraulics training
    • A community that meets every year at the TELEMAC User Conference
