The Fluid Mechanics Laboratory of Lille (CNRS-LMFL) is seeking a highly qualified candidate for a post-doctoral research fellowship to participate in ERC Advanced Grant research project NoStaHo which is aimed at an extensively transformative fundamental understanding and theory of non-stationary and/or non-homogeneous turbulence. The candidat will participate in the experimental side of the project by contributing to (i) Particle Image velocimetry and Hot Wire Anemometry measurements and (ii) various ways to analyse the data obtained for a variety of turbulent flows including various types of turbulent wakes, jets and boundary layers.

The past 5 years have seen a number of advances which overturn cornerstone turbulence textbook
material and create an unprecedented opportunity for a potentially decisive breakthrough in our
fundamental and general understanding of turbulent flows which are typically non-stationary and/or
non-homogeneous. These recent advances concern non-stationarity and non-homogeneity in
fundamental ways and open new research opportunities with many new questions and hypotheses. This project will seize these new research opportunities with a combination of laboratory, computational and theoretical methods applied to a variety of turbulent flows. The expected outcome is a an extensively transformative fundamental understanding and theory of non-stationary and/or non-homogeneous turbulence, and a consequent road map for future disruptive turbulent flow prediction methods.
