Research interest
- Large Eddy and Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes simulations on
industrial configurations
- Turbulence modelling for RANS closure, including thermal models
- Wall functions in CFD
- Numerical schemes for convection and diffusion with emphasis en
multielement unstructured grids
- Hybrid structured and multielement unstructured approach
- Time integration dedicated to periodic flows (harmonic balance technique)
- High order techniques for unstructured grids
Specific knowledge / work
- Developer of the elsA Kernel since 2005:
- Wall functions with a fictitious wall (compatible with mesh
movement / deformation - ALE framework)
- One of the main developers of the unstructured / hybrid version of elsA:
- Initial pre-treatment including mesh splitter for
unstructured
grid
- Roe upwind scheme, including the MUSCL
approximation
- Centred schemes for diffusion
- Spallart Allmaras and k-omega turbulence models
- Work
in collaboration with Marc Montagnac on the
treatment of mismatched
abutting block interface between structured and unstructured zones
- Responsible of many contracts funded by CERFACS' shareholders or French / European institutions (Aerospace Valley, EEC, DPAC...).
- Involvement in the extension of hybrid elsA to LES (unstructured schemes and specific join treatment with Marc Montagnac and Hugues Deniau).
- Teaching:
- Introduction to CFD (at CERFACS)
- Basic concepts for CFD (ISAE SupAero engineer school, second year)
- (Continuous) mathematical
modelling for CFD and lesson on mesh generation techniques (ISAE
SupAero School, third year).
