Education
- Ph.D., Fluid Mechanics, 2015, "Nonlinear stabilization of magnetohydrodynamics equations and application to multiphase flows", Paris-Sud University (Orsay), advisor: Caroline Nore, co-advisor: Jean-Luc Guermond.
- M.Sc., Mathematics, 2012, Paris-Sud University (Orsay).
- Aggregation, Mathematics, 2011, ENS Cachan.
Teaching
- CAAM 519: Fall 2107, Fall 2018. See the course's webpage "here".
Research Interests
- Scientific Computing (numerical analysis, development, implementation and validation of algorithm in Computational Fluid Dynamics).
- Entropy viscosity as a non-linear stabilization method for Navier-Stokes equations.
- Multiphase Computational Fluid Dynamics (level set method, approximation methods for problems with variable density, dynamical viscosity and electrical conductivity).
- Magnetohydrodynamics (precessing cylinder, Von Kármán flow, Liquid Metal Battery).
- Porous media (Black oil model).
The code SFEMaNS
I am one of the three main developpers of SFEMaNS.
Here are some general information on this code:
- SFEMaNS solves the magnetohydrodynamics equations in 3D axi-symmetric domains.
- Thermodynamics, multiphase and ferrohydrodynamics problem can be considered.
- Lagrange finite element in meridian plane and Fourier decomposition in azimuthal direction.
- Fully parallel code.
- The documentation is available on SFEMaNS's webpage "here".
