During the past ten years various methods have been devised to deal with the solution of the Navier–Stokes equations. In the meantime, different models have been worked out to represent turbulent incompressible flows. At LNH, deep participation in this enthusiastic research is still going on, together with a closely related development of physical modelling and metrology. In this paper, we will give an insight into a set of numerical codes which are now currently in use at our laboratory and some of their main applications to coastal engineering. This will include thermohydraulic internal flows and free surface flows. For each code a short presentation of the algorithm of solution is described.
