Dunkirk offshore wind farm — Study of current conditions on the study area

The study on the currents of the Dunkirk EMR study area corresponds to a characterisation of the tidal currents encountered on the sector from new knowledge gained through the measurement campaigns carried out in 2016. Different elements emerged from this study: — results of statistical analysis of measurements for different immersions (current roses at coefficients 45 and 95, every hour around the open sea of the reference port), — qualification of the 3D model of the Pas-de-Calais tidal currents at the geographical points of the measurements (comparison table), — the product “tide currents” on the study area (digital files for 3 layers). Accessible data: — File T3_2_Statistics: Statistical analysis of measurements for different immersions (surface, mid-depth, background) F0542 corresponds to anchoring AWAC_1 (51° 10.118′N/002° 24.633′E) and F0544 at anchoring AWAC_2 (51° 11,581′N/002° 24,244′E) Refer to file format.txt for column headings — File T3_3_Product3D_current: The product “Tide currents 3D — EMR Dunkirk” comes from the digital model Pas de Calais, Baie de Somme. This model is an adaptation of the calculation code TELEMAC-3D, developed by the Saint-Venant hydraulic laboratory, in order to simulate the propagation of the tidal wave for two tide coefficients 45 and 95.
