Presentation

Laboratory FAST (Fluides, Automatique et Systèmes Thermiques) is a CNRS research laboratory (UMR 7608), associated with University Paris-Saclay.

Research areas

Head: H. Auradou

Focus on a project

Grains and fibers

B. Darbois Texier

The addition of a small amount of fibers to a granular medium is known to significantly enhance its mechanical strength. In the laboratory, we are studying the influence of fibres on the macroscopic behaviour of granular media in various flow configurations and seeking to describe the physics of the underlying coupling between grains and fibres.
