摘要:The Calais canal is located in the north of the France. It is used for navigation but mainly todischarge the excess water volumes that are issued from the Wateringues. The Wateringues are lowlandsin maritime plains below high sea level (polders).The water in excess in the Wateringues are pumped tothe canal, routed to the sea outlet and then discharged by gates during low tide and by outlet pumps duringhigh tide. The management of the Calais canal is based on a Logic Control (LC) based regulation. Itconsists in keeping its water close to an objective by discharging water in excess to the sea and by limitingthe use of outlet pumps. This management mode can be compared to more elaborate methods comingfrom the Automatic Control domain.This paper aims at presenting the current state of a simulation tooldedicated to the design of these control methods. The simulation tool aims at reproducing the dynamicsof the Calais canal keeping the required properties for the design of control methods. The proposedsimulation tool implements the LC approach allowing to better understand the management rules, toreplay scenarios and in a close future to compare these methods with more elaborate control approaches.
