Description of the project
The mathematical study of equations of fluid mechanics is a very intense research domain, both from a theoretical and practical point of view.This project, mostly financed by Paris town, brings together young researchers from Paris, working in the domain of fluid mechanics and more particularly on perturbations and hydrodynamical turbulence phenomena. Their work is related to theoretical, applied, and numerical mathematics, as well as physics.
Our research in this domain will present two aspects. The first one, more on the theoretical side, will in particular be devoted to the understanding of various types of instabilities, and hydrodynamical turbulence. The second, more on the applied side, will be done in relation with the company Thalès: the question is to obtain a mathematical model for perturbations created by the wings of airplanes (wake vortices).
