Scientific Cursus
2006-2008 Post-doc (CNRS)
Simulation of particles in a viscous fluid
What is the behavior of materials made of soft units in a viscous fluid, such as foams, emulsions and granular suspensions?
What is the origin of their constitutive laws? Is there any dilatancy effect, any shear-banding?
To get new insights on these issues, I am developping a new numerical
method (Soft-Dynamics) which simulates both motion and deformation of
each unit from their interactions via the fluid. More detail
Keywords: Rheology, foam, emulsion, dense suspension, discrete simulation
Direction: C. Gay
Affiliation: Collaboration between
Centre de Rechechre Paul Pascal (CNRS Bordeaux) and Matière et
Systèmes Complexes (CNRS Paris 7).
2003-2006 PhD (École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées)
Rheology of cohesive granular materials - Application to dense snow avalanches
Special PhD Price of the École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées (2006).
How does snow flow? How does its behavior
depend on the snow grains adhesion, and on the presence of aggregates?
I investigated these multi-scale rheological issues through experiment
in high altitude with natural snow, and Molecular Dynamics simulation
of cohesive granular flow. More detail
Keywords: Rheology, snow, granular, adhesion, in situ experiment, discrete simulation
Direction: P. Coussot, F. Chevoir, M. Naaïm
Affiliation: Collaboration between Navier Institut (CNRS-LCPC-ENPC, Champs sur Marne) and CEMAGREF (Grenoble).
2002-2003 Master Thesis (East-Paris University) , major
Cohesive granular flow: simulation and modelization
Granular flow down a slope: experimental study of jamming transition
Keywords: Rheology, granular, adhesion, discrete simulation, experiment
Direction: F. Chevoir
Affiliation: Navier Institut (CNRS-LCPC-ENPC, Champs sur Marne), Master Modelization and Simulation of Materials
(East-Paris University)
Skills
Scientific approach
I feel efficient to combine experiments and
simulations. I am used to collaborations with others scientists (P.
Mills, D. Wolf, O. Pouliquen...), work in various institutions (both
PhD and Post-Doctorat in collaboration), and participations in
different workshops (French GdR on Granular Matter and GdR on Foams, to
European Project SATSIE which supports snow experiments, and to ANR
project which supports my Post-Doctorat).
Technical
In situ and laboratory experiments: sensors and structure developement, data acquisition and treatment (Labview).
Discrete Simulation: programming in Fortran, C, C++ (OpenGl) using Linux and associated free software.
