Aerothermal and Energy Control of Complex Systems (CAESC)

Platform

Description

Our platform consists of a set of platforms dedicated to the characterization of fluids, heat transfer and energy conversion in severe conditions (high temperature, high speed and/or low dimensions).

In particular, it makes it possible to study the characteristics of fluids in the vicinity of surfaces and interfaces (aerodynamic behaviour of drops in the evaporation phase, study of emissions and particle deposits, characterization of aerodynamic wake of various geometries) at different scales (microscopic to macroscopic).

This platform also opens the prospect of energy and dynamic control of complex systems in order to reduce their energy cost and thus increase their overall efficiency and performance.
