Dr. Benoit Laveau

- Industry Funded research projects on endwall heat transfer measurements of heat transfer in rotating environment: design and use of a new platform in rotating environment - Management of experimental heat transfer test facility - Aerodynamic and Heat Transfer Measurements using aerodynamic probes, PIV system, Infrared thermography - Infrared imaging on multi-axis system and 3D image reconstruction procedures - Numerical Aerodynamic and heat transfer analysis using in-house developed CFD code Multi3

- Measurements of shape and trajectory of liquid droplets evolving in the Leidenfrost regime when deposited on a ratcheted surface. - Experiments using high speed camera (10000fps) and infrared thermography. Image processing tools developed in Matlab & Optimas.

- Model the ventilation of the Fan and the Core compartment of an engine nacelle installed on different aircrafts (A330, A340 and A380). - Assessment of air flow rate to prevent fire and ensure safety of the compartment in case of explosive events (burst duct) - 1D modeling of the engine compartment with modules to model mechanical parts (doors), fluid flow features (cavities, nozzles, inlet) and heat transfer in AMESIM
