    Dans le contexte de changement climatique, il est parfois difficile de distinguer les influences anthropiques, de la variabilité naturelle, tant celle-ci est complexe et pourtant si importante qu’elle peut masquer les effets des activités humaines sur le climat. C’est notamment le cas pour la variabilité de la circulation atmosphérique, que les modèles numériques actuels ne reproduisent pas correctement. L’une des raisons est l’impossibilité pour ces modèles de simuler les processus physiques sur l’ensemble des échelles spatio-temporelles où elles se produisent et notamment comment différents processus à différentes échelles interagissent. Le but de la thèse est de comprendre le lien entre les grandes échelles spatio-temporelles des mouvements cohérents de l’atmosphère et les statistiques à l'échelle régionale des différents champs turbulents (vitesse, température, humidité, précipitations), et notamment les événements rares ou extrêmes.

    The objective of this postdoc is to study the importance of the fluid miscibility on the RTI dynamics using highly resolved simulations with the pseudo-spectral code STRATOSPEC . A diffuse interface method relying on the Cahn-Hilliart equations will be coupled to the Navier-Stokes solver. To this aim, we propose to assess the efficiency of various semi- or fully implicit numerical methods. Computational resources for the simulations will be provided through the TGCC supercomputers. Different theories and models will be proposed to interpret the results.

    Turbulence et circulations à résolution décamétrique dans les nuages convectifsDans le cadre de cette thèse, nous souhaitons étudier les processus physiques à l’interface nuageuse à l'aide de simulations à très fine résolution (LES décamétrique) avec le modèle Méso-NH (Lac et al, 2018). L'objectif est de caractériser les circulations au sein des nuages convectifs (du cumulus au cumulonimbus), ainsi que les structures turbulentes associées.

    The work of the candidate will aim for the development of the following tasks:1. Implementation of data streaming machine learning techniques within the C++ software developed by the research group, aiming to reconstruct an augmented IBM formalism. The AI learning procedure will be fed by online data generated by the MGEnKF.2. The performance of the code will be assessed via the analysis of progressively more complex scale-resolved turbulent flows. The test cases investigated include the turbulent channel flow and, in case of success, complex test cases such as a radial pump will be investigated. For every test case considered, high fidelity DNS / experimental data are already available from previous analyses of the research group.

    L'ébullition est un phénomène complexe impliquant à la fois une dynamique complexe et des effets thermiques forts. Une bonne compréhension des différents régimes d'écoulement (bulle, poche, annulaire) est nécessaire pour modéliser correctement ce phénomène dans le cadre d'étude de conception ou de sûreté industrielle. L'objectif de la thèse est d'identifier les conditions d'écoulement amenant un essaim homogène de bulles à se déstabiliser. Il convient de caractériser ce type de transition pour mieux comprendre des effets d'accumulation locale de bulles pouvant amener à de la coalescence, par exemple. Cette étude se fera via des simulations numériques directes et une méthode de capture d'interface Front-Tracking permettant le suivi lagrangien des bulles.

    As part of the BANG project, funded by the French National Research Agency, we are exploring the validity of the Navier-Stokes equation as a fluid model by studying phenomena occurring below the Kolmogorov scale, using multi-scale tools and advanced visualization techniques, namely 4D particle tracking velocimetry (4D-PTV), in a large-scale turbulence experiment called Giant Von Karman (GVK) built at the CEA.

    L’objectif de ce postdoc est de caractériser théoriquement et numériquement le couplage d’écoulements de sillages turbulents pour plusieurs corps présentant différentes géométries. Les approches seront multiples et permettront de comparer les modèles développés récemment avec des modèles classiques et des simulations numériques directes. Des comparaisons expérimentales seront réalisées dans le cadre du projet SILTURB à l’aide d‘expériences dédiées réalisées à l’UME de l’ENSTA. Les résultats de ces études ont pour objectif de proposer des modèles de fermeture nouveaux implémentables dans les codes CFD

    This postdoc position consists on an experimental study of highly unsteady and inhomogeneous particle-laden flows, a problem at the heart of virus transmission and climate change predictions. For such aim, we propose a series of innovative experiments on the gravitational settling and spatial segregation of particles carried by unsteady and inhomogeneous turbulent flows. The project will provide a description of the pulsed jet (on single and multi-phase conditions), including realistic situations such as laryngeal-like jets and time-dependent particle inertia caused by phase transitions. The proposed experiments start from canonical conditions but progressively increase in complexity in a controlled way.

    We have developed an airborne platform called the Max Planck CloudKite (MPCK). It has been deployed over the Atlantic Ocean during the EUREC4A research cruise and in northern Finland inside the Arctic Circle. Our instruments perform autonomous measurements in the atmosphere, including particle image velocimetry and holography. In the next phase of our investigations, we will simultaneously measure with high resolution aerosols, wind speed and atmospheric thermodynamics as a function of altitude. These measurements will be complemented by most advanced microphysical cloud measurements. In collaboration with our colleagues at the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS, we are developing SMART Integrated Electronic Sensors (SMARTIES) to quantify atmospheric transport and mixing through many neutrally buoyant and biocompatible floaters.

    L’étude proposée ici repose sur la comparaison de modèles numériques dédiées au transport sédimentaire pour identifier des modèles physiques locaux de transport sédimentaire. L’objectif est de comparer les résultats issus de simulations numériques sous OpenFoam à des mesures obtenues en laboratoire de transport sédimentaire à des échelles locales en temps et en espace. Ces mesures expérimentales ont été réalisées en configurations stationnaire et instationnaire pour différentes caractéristiques de sédiments. Des mesures de la réponse du lit sédimentaire, du taux d’érosion et des conditions hydrodynamiques (vitesses et hauteurs) ont été acquises et sont disponibles à partir des travaux de thèsefinancés par l’OFB et démarrés en Octobre 2022.

    This postdoctorate investigates the question of the influence of large structures on small scales and their fluctuations and vice versa in atmospherics dynamics.In particular, this postdoctorate will consist especially in performing Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of an idealized geophysical flow in the strongly stratified turbulence (SST) regime (i.e. small Froude number and high buoyancy Reynolds number) containing large structures called vertically-sheared horizontal flow, internal gravity waves and eddies. In addition, he will have to apply a new method for extracting large strutures, waves and vortices, developed in our team (Lam et.al. atmos 2020 , JFM 2021 & JFM 2023) and calculate thevelocity increments for each part.

    he subject of this thesis is the understanding, modelling and numerical simulation of the transport of solutes, whether passive or reactive, in porous, permeable, heterogeneous and/or fractured media. The most immediate field of application is geological media, often with environmental concerns (sensitivity to contaminants, pollution clean-up), but geothermal energy also falls into this category if the solute is heat.One of the most decisive aspects, and one that is difficult to take into account in modelling, concerns mass transfers between zones of strongly contrasting properties, and in particular between fractures (which constitute the preferential paths) and the matrix (which contains most of the possible accumulation volume, and is the site of possible sorptions and/or reactions).
