Chemistry and materials Mechanics and civil engineering Transport and robotic Research unit Science for a changing planet

Our laboratory mainly studies turbulent external and internal aerodynamics. We aim to study and model turbulent and rotating flows using experimental, numerical and theoretical methods. Our research is structured around three main axes: (i) Turbulence; (ii) Rotating flows; and (iii) Flight dynamics in non-steady and inhomogeneous environment. We also developed three transversal axes (Optical Metrology; Active Flow Control; and Data Analysis) with the objective of developing methods and algorithms for the study of turbulent flows and for the active control of flows.
