The biomass derivatives, including gas obtained from agricultural residues, are potential alternatives to power production in rural areas. Thus, gas can be utilized as the primary fuel in a diesel engine operating in dual fuel mode to generate electricity.

Will we still need fuels in a sustainable society? If so, for what applications, what kind of fuels and how can we produce them sustainably? Will it be hydrogen? What is the actual environmental impact of biofuels, and what about those ‘e-fuels’? Or will everything eventually become electric anyway? Prof.

Les inondations, parmi les désastres naturels les plus fréquents et dévastateurs, causent de lourds dégâts, souvent aggravés par une gestion préventive déficiente. En Haïti, les zones exposées aux inondations sont particulièrement vulnérables. Ce travail propose une solution pour la gestion préventive des risques d’inondation en utilisant la photogrammétrie par drone.

Gradient-based optimization is a powerful tool for advancing engineering applications. Its success relies on three key ingredients: accurate simulation models, efficient gradient calculations, and carefully chosen optimization methods. In this seminar, I will demonstrate how I developed fast, physics-based CFD models for nuclear fusion that are now being used for the desig

Given the environmental challenges related to the construction sector which is one of the most impacting sectors in terms of energy demand, CO2 emissions, natural resources consumption and waste production, a new class of circular waste-based materials for construction applications is developed.

  The primary geological phenomena that impact our planet's surface are now elucidated in the context of plate tectonics. However, this planetary dynamic is not the norm when we examine the other terrestrial planets in our solar system. It is becoming increasingly evident that this is one of the prerequisites for the emergence of life on a planetary body.

Wall-modeling in LES is of crucial importance to allow scale-resolving simulations of turbulent flows in industrial-scale devices. Numerous models were developed and validated for incompressible flows, including the simple quasi-analytical model based on Reichardt formula to approximate the ``law of the wall’’ (which covers the laminar sublayer, the transition region and the log layer).

 Au cours des dernières décennies, le développement de tôles d'acier avancé à haute résistance (AAHR), destinées de l'industrie automobile, a permis d'atteindre des niveaux supérieurs de de résistance tout en maintenant une ductilité adéquate, et ce, à faibles coûts de fabrication.Cependant, ces tôles d'aciers ont montré une tendance à basculer du mode de rupture ductile conventionnel, dominé
