Research activity


In a context where energy and environmental constraints are increasing, the design and optimization of systems involving fluids impose a finer representation of the flows. However, in many applications the flows are turbulent, thus their prediction and analysis are difficult. These flows are indeed characterized by a disordered appearance where three-dimensional secondary movements develop over a wide range of scales and are superimposed on the average flow movement. The constant development of the power of computers allows now to consider unsteady numerical simulation as a powerful tool for the prediction of such flows, giving access to a rich spatio-temporal information for their physical analysis.

My research aims to deepen the analysis of these complex phenomena and their consequences, while developing the tools necessary for their prediction. I am developing research areas that are intended to better predict, understand and control turbulent flows and their consequences. This is to cover a broad range of activities including the development of numerical tools (models and methods), the analysis and control of fundamental phenomena of turbulence (instabilities, mixing, law of scale ... ), up to transfers to representative configurations of industrial systems (mainly in the field of renewable energies). Thus, the research carried out is driven by a common scientific interest that focuses on the physics of turbulence, whether on a small scale, with the development of subgrid-scale models for LES approaches, or large scale, with the analysis and control of flows.
