In the fields of aeronautics and space, modeling, computation, simulation, and numerical validation are essential for designing flying vehicles and addressing all technological aspects.
This team is strongly focused on experimentation, modeling, and simulation.
In structural mechanics, it addresses issues related to the characterization and modeling of composite and nano-composite materials, including the mechanical integrity of hydrogen storage tanks and bio-sourced composites.
In fluid mechanics and energy systems, the team explores energy optimization through numerical and experimental studies of mass and heat transfer in two-phase flows (heat pipes and two-phase loops). It also delves into aerodynamics by studying transfer phenomena in vortex flows using the Lattice Boltzmann Method.
Lastly, the team tackles the critical issue of battery cooling for electric and hybrid vehicles.
