Let's change our habits and do science differently !

The Research and Innovation unit of the Ministry of Ecology, Energy, Sustainable Development (MEDDE) invites both the general public and scientists to collaborate around a common theme : water sciences.

Within this framework, is launched the ANSWER operation, carried out in partnership between the Ministry and the Scientific Interest Group for environment (GIS HED²).

An objective ...

Water is part of our daily life and environment. Everyday we observe its various behaviors that can be explained. The objective of the ANSWER operation is to analyse those phenomenons, illustrate them, and submit them to scientits that will help us to better understand and advance knowledge. This participative sciences operation invites us to collaborate in a playful and interactive way in order to both constitute a solid knowledge basis and improve our own ones.

... and challenges to achieve it!

Illustrate in a simple and comprehensible way the different physical phenomenons of water.

Gather in one space knowledge that often are scattered through several disciplines (hydrology, hydraulics, hydrogeology…)

Reproduce all those phenomenons through laboratory tests or in the nature.

Produce new knowledge about free surface flows dynamics.

Provide training products that will foster and facilitate knowledge.

Publish a book in augmented reality that gives access to further knowledge.

                    THE OPERATION IS LAUNCHED, BE PART OF IT!

How to participate?
____________________________________________________

General public & Enthusiasts Whether you are a student, a photographer, a videographer or even just a walker, your contribution will enrich this collaborative space. We invit you to collect field videos/pictures of physical phenomenons linked to water behavior. For instance, you can: observe the behaviour of waves, visualize flows closed to river structures, highlight the evolutions of river bottoms after floods, or any event that seems relevant to you. Pictures and short videos (one minute or two) will constitute precious testimonies that will arouse the interest and curiosity of the scientific community! Each contribution, after selection, will be released on a WIKHYDRO page. The page's adress will be sent by mail to the contributor acknowledging receipt. Any data that presents a scientific interest will be submitted to researchers who will help us analyse and explain the phenomenons involved, thus producing further knowledge! By participating, you will collaborate to an innovative and international operation! you will contribute to improve and spread knowledge! your name will feature prominently in the produced documents.

Scientists& Experimenters You are a scientist and you love challenging yourself and your peers? You are an ingenious experimenter passionate about water behavior studies? Various levels of participation are possible according to your abilities and wishies: search for analytical solution based on simplified Navier-Stokes equations, deal with complex cases submitted by the general public, conduct physical tests in lab or nature, to reproduce in a didactic way those analytical solutions, collect field videos or pictures to illustrate the various water behaviors in nature. Pourquoi revenir vers des solutions analytiques ? Plusieurs raisons nous incitent à revenir sur la recherche de solutions analytiques, démarche qui peut paraître un tant soit peu désuète à l'époque des outils de modélisation. Ces raisons tiennent à la volonté de mieux comprendre les phénomènes physiques et par la suite à mieux utiliser les modèles numériques qui nous font souvent oublier les bases physiques et les fondements mathématiques de ces outils. En outre, nous avons la volonté de co-construire une base de connaissances utiles pour la formation. Nous proposons donc à partir des fondamentaux de ces modèles simplifiés, de rassembler les solutions analytiques disponibles ou d'en définir de nouvelles, qui vont permettre d'illustrer le comportement de ces outils sur des cas simples. Positionnement des solutions analytiques Nous nous limitons à ce stade à 4 disciplines : l'hydraulique fluviale, l'hydraulique maritime, l'hydrogéologie et la morphodynamique. Les premières contributions sont disponibles ici
