Method for simulating the positioning of at least one streamer comprising a step for predicting the current on at least two distinct points of the streamer

A method for simulating, by a computer, the positioning of at least one acoustic linear antenna towed in a study zone, wherein the method comprises the following steps:

• (A) towing at least one acoustic linear antenna in the study zone;
• (B) predicting temporal and spatial variations of at least one marine current capable of interacting with said at least one acoustic linear antenna, the step of predicting comprising:
• an upstream phase of determining a plurality of points defining a space in the study zone in which said at least one acoustic linear antenna is likely to be contained, each point being associated with a current;
• a simulation phase, for each determined point, of at least one future position of said determined point;
• a temporal projection phase, for each simulated future position, of the current associated with the point for which said future position is simulated;
• a spatial projection phase of the temporal projected currents, on at least two distinct points of said at least one acoustic linear antenna;
• and
• (C) determining the form of said at least one acoustic linear antenna by resolution of a hydrodynamic model by means of the spatial projected currents.
