One week for connecting theory to experiments and numerical simulations.

The week starts with 2 theoretical sessions dealing with multiscale approaches in mechanics and numerical and experimental tools and methods, followed by two practical sessions during which the attendants will be dispatched in the laboratories to manipulate some of the most up-to-date equipment used in research. The last day is dedicated to the specific problem of multiscale approaches in biomechanics.


PROGRAMME OVERVIEW


MONDAY 2: MULTISCALE APPROACHES AND DILUTE SUSPENSIONS

 

 

8:30 Welcome coffee

 


9:00 Introduction

SPEAKER

 


Elise Lorenceau, CNRS, Laboratory LIPhy, Grenoble - Deputy coordinator of Tec21

9:10 A brief introduction to fluid turbulence

In spite of centuries of active research Turbulence remains one of the deepest mysteries of fluid mechanics. The complexity relies on the random and multi-scale nature of the phenomenon. This lecture will review the origin and the characteristics of fluid Turbulence, as well as the phenomenological framework and statistical tools commonly used to describe the phenomenon. These rely on the concept of energy cascade, introduced by L. Richardson in the 1920’s, later refined by A. Kolmogorov, who’s ideas still dominate the Turbulence research community.

11:00 Multiscale approaches for the modelling and simulation of particle laden reactive flows

Dense gas-particle reactors are encountered in many industrial systems involving chemical reactions such as the polymerisation of PE and PP for plastic making, the chlorination of zircon in the metallurgical industry, uranium oxide fluorination in the nuclear power industry, as well as biomass gasification, fossil fuels conversion (chemical looping combustion of coal and gas), or crude oil processing in petroleum refineries by fluid catalytic cracking, amongst many others. The modelling of dense gas-particle reactive flows is a very challenging problem as many physical mechanisms need to be taken into account, in particular the numerous interactions between particles (collisions, agglomeration, attrition), between the particles and the fluid (with mass, momentum and energy transfer), and also between the particles and the walls (frictional bouncing, rough wall surface, deposition and resuspension), all of these being coupled with chemical reactions (gaseous and solid combustion, polymerisation…) This presentation will show how different numerical methods capable of describing the phenomena at the micro, meso and the macro scales, are coupled to provide relevant simulations of processes involving dense gas-particle reactive flows.

Over the whole school, the participants will attend 3 out of the 12 proposed lab-courses (on Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday afternoon). Groups of 4-5 participants will be made and each group will be given its planning and location depending on the chosen topic. The lab-courses will be held in parallel sessions at different places on the campus.
