SMASH Research team

Simulation, modeling and analysis of heterogeneous systems

Team presentation

The project-team works on the mathematical and numerical modelling of heterogeneous flows like multiphase flows, granular media or reactive flows with mass transfer. The scientific themes of the project are the construction of new mathematical models for these flows, the analysis of discretization methods for their numerical simulation as well as their algorithmic implementation.

Research themes

  • Mathematical and numerical models for two-phase flows and interface problems.
  • Production of numerical methods: Finite Element and Finite Volume methods, Riemann Solvers for complex flows
  • Development of multigrid strategies for finite element and finite volume discretizations on non-structured meshes.

International and industrial relations

  • in the "ARC Diphasique" of CNRS, collaboration with CORIA, ECL, PARIS VI, PEUGEOT and RENAULT.
  • Contracts with CEA, DASSAULT, DGA, IFP.
  • NSF action with University of Bordeaux I - NASA Ames and UCLA
  • Collaboration with the University of Illinois
