Missions

The post-doctoral researcher will participate in the ERC Advanced Grant research
project NoStaHo which is aimed at an extensively transformative fundamental
understanding and theory of non-stationary and/or non-homogeneous turbulence.

Activités

She/he will participate in the computational side of the project by contributing to (i) running direct numerical simulations of turbulent flows inside precessing spheres and (ii) various ways to analyse the data obtained for various instances of turbulent flows inside precessing spheres. Comparisons will be made with other turbulent flow data.

Compétences

We seek a fluid dynamicist with a PhD in a turbulent flow area and with computational expertise, knowledge of data analysis techniques and good understanding of at least some aspects of turbulence theory. The candidate will (a) implement and run direct numerical simulations of turbulent flows inside precessing spheres for various Poincare and Reynolds numbers, (b) will independently carry out quantitative data analyses, (c) will present results obtained, (d) and will participate in writing manuscripts for publication of results.

Contexte de travail

The post-doctoral research will be a member of the turbulence group of the LMFL and of the NoStaHo research team. She/he will be supported by the experimental,
computational and theoretical experts of the group which is very well equiped in terms of experimental facilities and flow measurement capabilities.

Le poste se situe dans un secteur relevant de la protection du potentiel scientifique et technique (PPST), et nécessite donc, conformément à la réglementation, que votre arrivée soit autorisée par l'autorité compétente du MESR.
