Research: Waves, instabilities, vortices and turbulence

• Waves and turbulence in rotating flows
  • Rotating turbulence on the Gyroflow platform, with A. Campagne, P.-P. Cortet, B. Gallet, C. Lamriben
  • Inertial waves and modes, with N. Machicoane, P.-P. Cortet, C. Lamriben, J. Boisson; in collaboration with L.R.M. Maas (NIOZ, Netherlands) and T. Dauxois (ENS Lyon).
  • A fluid Foucault pendulum, with J. Boisson, P.-P. Cortet and D. Cebron (ETH Zurich)
• Surface waves
  • Wind wave generation, with A. Paquier and M. Rabaud
  • Ship's wake: Kelvin or Mach angle? (with M. Rabaud)
  • Parametric instability and cross-waves (with M. Rabaud, E. Sultan and G.-J. Michon)
  • Free-Surface Synthetic Schlieren (FS-SS)
  • A tutorial for implementing a FS-SS system

Past research:

• Turbulent buoyant mixing (with J. Znaien, J.-P. Hulin and Y. Tanino)
• Expériences sur la plateforme Coriolis (avec J. Sommeria, LEGI, Grenoble)
• Ancienne ``petite'' plateforme tournante du FAST (avec C. Morize et M. Rabaud)
• Flow between rotating disks (collaborations with O. Daube, CEMIF / LME, and C. Nore, LIMSI).
• High vorticity structures in isotropic turbulence (collaboration with J. Jiménez, School of Aeronautics, Madrid).
• Pressure measurements in stretched vortices (with P. Petitjeans, PMMH, ESPCI, Paris).
• Low-pressure filaments in turbulence using cavitation (with E. Bodenschatz, Cornell University / Max Planck Institute).
• Turbulence in low temperature helium (PhD thesis, supervised by P. Tabeling, LPS - ENS, Paris).
