The subject of this thesis is the understanding, modelling and numerical simulation of the transport of solutes, whether passive or reactive, in porous, permeable, heterogeneous and/or fractured media. The most immediate field of application is geological media, often with environmental concerns (sensitivity to contaminants, pollution clean-up), but geothermal energy also falls into this category if the solute is heat. When numerical simulation is based on an Eulerian approach such as the finite difference method, numerical difficulties may arise in taking into account rapid transient diffusive exchanges between matrix and fracture. One solution is to use a Lagrangian approach such as the particle method.

POST-DOC (M/F) - Control by Machine Learning of bluff body wakes
At the CNRS-Laboratory PPRIME, based at the Futuroscope, this post-doctorate position is part of the French ANR COWAVE program between the laboratories PRISME in Orleans, Pprime in Poitiers, LHEEA in Nantes and the PSA automotive industry. This Post-Doc position concerns the Pprime contribution to the COWAVE project which aims the experimental exploration of closed-loop wake control strategies with mobile flaps in a water tunnel facility. Three-dimensional bluff-body wakes generate pressure drag and side forces and thus contribute significantly to the fuel consumption and pollutant emission of road vehicles. Despite this crucial impact and the numerous attempts to reduce harmful environmental effect of bluff body wakes by flow control it is still unclear what is the most efficient control strategy! In this context, the ANR project COWAVE addresses two fundamental aspects of wake control: - First, what kind of actuators are most efficient? While most closed-loop control strategies use viscous entrainment effects to actuate the shear layers in the wake, the exploitation of pressure forces produced by mobile deflectors could be an interesting alternative to be tested. - Second, for the implementation of closed-loop control, we want to test if control strategies obtained by machine learning techniques allow to obtain better efficiency and robustness than the more classical model-based approaches?
