• Séminaire PMMH - Nino Araújo (Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal)
  Vendredi 5 juillet de 11h00 à 12h00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
  Self-folding kirigami at the microscale
  Three-dimensional shells can be obtained from the spontaneous self-folding of two-dimensional templates of interconnected panels, called nets. To design self-folding, one first needs to identify what are the nets that fold into the desired structure. In principle, different nets can fold into the same (...)

  Vendredi 28 juin de 11h00 à 12h00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
  Predicting ocean waves in real-time
  Ocean waves are usually predicted in a meteorological sense, from hourly to weekly time scales. In this talk, we cover the much lesser-known topic of real-time ocean wave forecasting, which consists in predicting accurately the second-by-second motion of the sea surface, a ship or another floating structure, up to (...)

  Vendredi 14 juin de 11h00 à 12h00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
  A hydrodynamic analog of critical phenomena : an uncountably infinite number of universality classes
  When a solid object starts falling into a viscous fluid from air-liquid interface, air is entrained into the liquid and eventually detaches from the solid. Such detachment could occur with or without topological change. Recently, it was found that the former case (i.e., breakup, a form of singular transitions) is (...)

  Vendredi 7 juin de 11h00 à 12h00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
  Le projet HIGHWAVE sur le déferlement des vagues et sa station de mesure et d'observation en Irlande
  Situé aux frontières de l'ingénierie côtière et océanique, de la science du systeme Terre, des statistiques et de la mécanique des fluides, le projet HIGHWAVE propose une approche interdisciplinaire pour mieux comprendre le déferlement des vagues. Le but ultime du projet est de fournir un nouveau modèle de vagues capable (...)
• Séminaire PMMH - François Petrelis (ENS)
  Vendredi 31 mai de 11h00 à 12h00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
  Earthquake statistical properties : an explanation for the distribution of magnitude and for the existence of aftershocks
  Earthquakes in nature follow several statistical properties. In particular, the distribution of energy released by an earthquake (Gutenberg-Richter's law) and the frequency of aftershocks after a large event (Omori's law) are both power-laws. By studying several earthquake models, we have shown that the (...)
• Séminaire PMMH - Etienne Jambon-Puillet, LadhyX
  Vendredi 24 mai de 11h00 à 12h00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
  Pendant drops on the underside of wet surfaces : growth, motion and solidification
  Pendant drops spontaneously appear on the underside of wet surfaces through the Rayleigh-Taylor instability. Due to their detrimental effect on coatings and their tendency to drip, several strategies have been developed to avoid their formation and rationalized with linear stability analysis. I will first briefly (...)
• Séminaire PMMH - Louis-Alexandre Couston (ENS Lyon)
  Vendredi 17 mai de 11h00 à 12h00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
  What we know and don't know about the ocean circulation and ice melting around Antarctica
  The Antarctic ice sheet is losing mass increasingly rapidly and could contribute several tens of centimetres of sea-level rise by 2100. In this presentation I will review our understanding of the southern ocean circulation, which (we know) is controlling ice melting around Antarctica and driving the retreat of the (...)
