Presentation
Serge Simoens holds a Master's degree in Mathematics, a DEA in Computer Science and a thesis on "experimental turbulence, mixing, environment". He is currently head of the "Fluides Complexes et Transferts (FCT)" and "Mélange turbulent, passif, dense et réactif" teams within the Laboratory of Fluid Mechanics and Acoustics (LMFA).
Research projects
- Development of a Health test bench for any test of implantation or passage of "objects" (stents, catheters, ...) within the bloodstream. Working with HCLs. Scale 1 development of vessels (aortas, etc...) and "phantom" blood from patient-specific IRMS, scans.... Use in cases of aortic dissection, fistulas, atherosclerotic plaques, etc. Description of blood velocity fields, ... Objective of coupling to venous tissue wall stress measurements
- Development of an In Situ velocity measurement technique (instantaneous mapping) under the tires (in the grooves) of a vehicle moving over a puddle. (Michelin Collaboration)
- Development of a measurement technique (instantaneous mapping) of CO2 absorbed by a turbulent medium. Application to non-Newtonian media. Oceanic issues of plankton blooms and particle feeding
- Development of particle transport models in turbulent media. Application to problems of desertification (effect of plant canopies, etc.), displacement of dunes...
- Complex mixing in multiphase media (G/L transfers, solids, etc.) Newtonian and non-Newtonian
