Fields of Research


CINES, Montpellier (July 2005 - April 2006)
Handbook on the computers of the Center (compilation, job submission) and report on the softwares existing for debugging and measuring performance of parallel codes (see Document (.doc) and Document (.doc) ). Comparison of two parallel debugging software (Tolalview and DDT) ( Document (.ppt)).

 

ONERA/DAFE, Meudon (January 2003 - January 2005)
Post doc in Fluid Mechanics on the 2D and 3D Direct Numerical Simulation of compressible trailing vortices submitted to density gradients with a 3D vectorial ONERA code written in Fortran 90 ( 1 Publication, 2 Technical Reports, 1 Seminar).

 

CEMIF, University of Evry, under Pr. A. Chpoun (September 2001- September 2002)
Collaboration with the LIMSI-CNRS and the CNES for a Workshop, to simulate the flow through an axisymmetric 2D nozzle with a statistical k-
w modeling.
The aim of the project is to study the influence of a secondary fluid injection on the principal jet in the nozzle, in an over-expanded regime of the flow. Some experiments are available at ONERA to validate the numerical results. (Abstract) Document ( .ps.zip )

 

LIMSI-CNRS, Orsay (October 1997 - June 2001)
Ph. D. Thesis in Fluid Mechanics on the Large Eddy Simulation of a compressible unsteady turbulent internal flow. Thesis advisors : L. Ta Phuoc (DR, CNRS) and C. Tenaud (CR, CNRS). Study supported by CIRT (Consortium Industry Research in Turbomachinery) from industry.
Validation of compressible LES for internal unsteady flows by simulating a 3D convergent-divergent transsonic nozzle : subgrid-scale modelling, test of numerical methods, comparison between experiments and the numerical results obtained with a finite volume parallel vectorized 3D code. (

Congresses : AUM-Toulouse (French, 1999), Euromech-Poitiers (English, 1999), Barcelone (English, 2000), Montreal-Canada (English, July 2002)

 

LIMSI-CNRS, Orsay (March 1997 - June 1997)
Masters of Science training under J. Pakleza, supported by Renault car industry on "Forced convection heat transfer coefficient in a cylindrical channel".
Bibliography and simulation of the heat transfer loss in a fluid, convected in a cylindrical channel, for different heat transfer coefficient h modeling with an incompressible finite volume 1D code ( Document (.pdf))

 

Collège de France, Paris (September 1995)
"Sun, neutrinos, matter and oscillations", under M. Lefièvre.
Bibliography and simulation of the neutrino particles number predicted by the MSW model. This model could explain the differences observed between the neutrino particles measured and transmitted from the sun, by neutrino oscillations existing in the matter (Document (.pdf.gz)).
