PhD Position at Inria Saclay-Ile de France Title: Anisotropic Mesh Adaptation for RANS Simulations with Moving Geometries in Aeronautics

PhD Position at Inria Saclay-Ile de France Title: Methods for generating quad-dominant and hex-dominant adaptive meshes for CFD applications

Subject: The aim of mesh adaptation is to generate the best mesh to perform a specific numerical simulation [1]. It results in a powerful methodology that reduces significantly the size of the mesh required to reach the desired accuracy. Thus, it impacts favorably the simulation CPU time and memory requirement. Moreover, as the generated adapted mesh is in agreement with the physics of the flow...

Anisotropic metric-based mesh adaptation for unsteady CFD simulations involving moving geometries

Spherical Harmonic Transform with GPUs

We describe an algorithm for computing an inverse spherical harmonic transform suitable for graphic processing units (GPU). We use CUDA and base our implementation on a Fortran90 routine included in a publicly available parallel package, shat. We focus our attention on the two major sequential steps involved in the transforms computation, retaining the efficient parallel framework of the origin...

A Simplex Cut-Cell Adaptive Method for High-Order Discretizations of the Compressible Navier-Stokes Equations

While an indispensable tool in analysis and design applications, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is still plagued by insufficient automation and robustness in the geometryto-solution process. This thesis presents two ideas for improving automation and robustness in CFD: output-based mesh adaptation for high-order discretizations and simplex, cut-cell mesh generation. First, output-based mesh...

Homogenization Approach to the Dispersion Theory for Reactive Transport through Porous Media

We study the homogenization problem for a convection-diffusion equation in a periodic porous medium in the presence of chemical reaction on the pores surface. Mathematically this model is described in terms of a solution to a system of convection-diffusion equation in the medium and ordinary differential equation defined on the pores surface. These equations are coupled through the boundary con...
