The Current State of Underwater Farming Looks Ready for Simulation. The Nemo’s Garden project has been in motion for a decade now—since 2012, when inspiration struck Sergio Gamberini while he was on vacation. The idea to build underwater farming structures was born from thinking about the best possible conditions for growing basil.The ambitious goal of Nemo’s Garden is to “create an alternative system of agriculture, especially dedicated to those areas where environmental conditions, economical or morphologic reasons make plant growth extremely difficult.

FreeFEM is a partial differential equation solver for non-linear multi-physics systems in 2D and 3D using the finite element method. Problems involving partial differential equations from several branches of physics such as fluid-structure interactions require interpolations of data on several meshes and their manipulation within one program. FreeFEM includes a fast interpolation algorithm and a language for the manipulation of data on multiple meshes. It is written in C++ and the FreeFEM language is a C++ idiom.
