Dear all, A PhD opportunity in the research field of Hydrodynamics and Transport Processes is available at University of Lorraine in Nancy, France. Applicants are invited for a three years PhD scholarship in the Hydro-GeoMechanics group at the GeoRessources laboratory (http://georessources.univ-lorraine.fr/). A part of the study will involve DEM-LBM modelling using YADE. The subject is as follows: "The applicant will carry out fundamental and applied research in the field of fluid mechanics and granular mechanics. The research will involve laboratory experiments, numerical simulations and analytical developments. The aim of this research is: (i) to identify the mechanisms governing transport and deposition of particles in preferential flow and (ii) to built up models in order to better predict the dynamics of particles immersed in moving fluids using a multi-scale approach (contact dynamics, fluid mechanics, solid-fluid interaction). First, experiments will be performed to investigate the influence of particle properties (density, size, geometry) and of the topology of the fracture (wavelength, amplitude and phase of the sinusoidal length of the walls) on the flow dynamics. Second, a numerical model coupling a discrete element method (DEM) and a lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) will be developed to strengthen the analyses . Finally, analytical developments will be carried out to describe the dynamics of non-spherical particles when inertia of both the particle and the fluid is non-negligible. The final goal is to characterize the conditions governing transport and deposition of immersed particles in order to better predict erosion or clogging phenomena in geological systems."
