Bed-load transport : experimental observation and two-phase modeling

The erosion of granular beds under the action of fluid shearing flows is a problem
which has been continuously studied and discussed for over a century. This phenomenon
is indeed encountered in a wide range of processes of important relevance in nature
or industry such as sediment transport in rivers or oceans and slurry transport in the
mining and petroleum industry.

We focus on bed-load transport, i.e. transport consisting of particles that roll, slide, and bounce near the bed, and laminar flow is mainly considered. We discuss two fundamental aspects for this type of sediment transport : incipient motion of the bed and bed load transport by focusing on the determination of the particle flux. We favor a two-phase continuum modeling.

This work has been done in collaboration with P. Aussillous, J. Chauchat, M. Medale, M. Ouriemi, M. Paihla, Y. Peysson

    REPROGRAMMABLE HARDWARE FOR DATA PROCESSING AT THE EDGE : A NEW COMPUTING PARADIGM BASED ON NEUROMORPHIC SYSTEMS
    The brain's ability to perform efficient and fault-tolerant data processing is strongly related with its peculiar interconnected adaptive architecture, based on redundant neural circuits interacting at different scales. By emulating the brain's processing and learning mechanisms, computing technologies strive to (…)

    Continuum Mechanics of Hydrated Fibre-Reinforced Soft Tissues
    Biological tissues can be represented as bi-phasic continua, with a porous solid phase saturated by an interstitial fluid and reinforced by collagen fibers. This lecture will give an overview of the modelling techniques for fibre-reinforced porous composite materials with statistical orientation of the fibers. Both (…)

Information for the speakers

The audience is composed of people with rather heterogeneous backgrounds including specialists in solids, fluids, granular flows, statistical physics... so the idea is to keep your talk understandable by people not necessarily working in your field... The seminar time slot runs from 11am to noon so the best is to make the talk last around 45 minutes to leave some time for discussion.
