Project-Team Presentation

This project aims to create and develop multidisciplinary numerical methods for the solution of complex problems in engineering, mechanics or physics. This involves physical and mathematical modelling, finite element approximation, and the development of numerical methods for different applications.

Research themes

• Fluid Dynamics for compressible or incompressible flows, shape optimization, stream optimization, fluid-structure interaction. Applications in Aerodynamics and Biomechanics.
• Free surface flows, shallow waters and environment applications. Coupling with other physical phenomena.
• Semiconductor devices simulation.
• Rarefied Gas, Dispersed phase.

International and industrial relations

• Contracts with CEA-Cesta, LNHE, Valeo, Pechiney.
• Participation in national projects: ACI ``Catastrophes naturelles'', GDR optimization.
• Collaboration with EDF, Ecole Normale Supérieure, Montpellier and P. et M. Curie (Paris) Universities, CERMICS, Heraklion University, Polytechnic School (Tunis), Laval University (Québec), TICAM (Texas), LNCC (Brazil), Princeton University, Kyoto University.
