Research interests

1) Vibratory behaviour of tube arrays subject to two-phase cross-flow. Our research focuses on vibratory phenomena with particular application in steam generators design of nuclear power plan

2) Behaviour of risers, flexible structures used to rise oil and gaz from the seabed in deep offshore petroleum field. Our research aims at understanding and damping wake- and vortex-induced vibrations. We collaborate with the French Petroleum Institute, Total and École Centrale Marseille.

3) High order time and space fluid-structure monolithic numerical simulation models. Our research aims at developing finite element tools with particular applications in flexible wing efficiency for hydrolians, micro-air vehicles, animal locomotion.
