CFD COMPETENCIES:
During my research activities in the
L.I.P.E, I have monitored different projects in Computational Fluid Dynamics
on the following topics: mixing processes, turbulent flows, heat and mass
transfer, specie transport, multiphase flows with and without phase change.
1- Industrial projects (FLUENT code):
2000 ADEME:
"Numerical simulation of two-phase
flows in filtering membranes ", this study is focused on the effect of
the liquid and gas velocity in the filtering membranes.
2000 CIRSEE/LYONNAISE DES EAUX:
"Mixing Modeling : application to water
treatment processes", this study extended the application of CFD to reactors
equipped with impellers (and not only stirred vessels).
98/00 MICHELIN :
"Mixing simulation of a three stage
stirred tank", this study allowed to highlight the present limitations
of the process. I have thus proposed different economical solutions, to improve
the mixing process.
1999 ELF Exploration .Production : Monitoring
of engineer's projects :
a- "Calculation of the thermal
coefficients in the bundles and pipe-in-pipe configurations by numerical simulations".
The result of this project was a good estimation of the transfer coefficients,
which were implemented, in an in-house code of the Process Department at ELF
E.P.
b- "Numerical simulation of a packed
bed ", this study allowed to detect the inhomogeneous distribution of
the gas flow, which could explain the bad performances of the reactor.
1998 TOTAL : Monitoring of an engineer
project
"Non-homogeneity of aviation fuel
storage tanks: numerical and experimental study". This project allowed
a better understanding of the filling and evacuating process in the fuel storage
tanks.
1998 POINT S.A: Monitoring of an engineer
project
" Numerical simulation of an oxidation
ditch". This project permitted to detect the bad oxygen distribution
in the ditch.
2- Research projects (FLUENT code):
2000
2-1-Numerical simulation of a separated
liquid-liquid process by the phase change process in water treatment. The
process consist of freezing gradually a wastewater, and from the phase change
diagrams the pure water will freeze first, the result is a solid phase of
pure water and a liquid phase of pollutant.
1998
2-2-The study of pressure and shear
stress effects on biological cells by numerical simulation. A primary study
that I monitored, has showed the need of a local comprehension on the both
effects for the biological growth of cells. This study is performed in collaboration
with a biological research team.
1997
2-3-Numerical simulations of turbulent
mixing flow in a stirred tank equipped with different impellers: black box
approach and full impeller geometry techniques . This is mainly my Ph.D. thesis
with some engineer's projects that I monitored.
3-Teaching activities : (FLUENT code):
97/00
3-1-Teaching and Development of special
courses in applied and computational fluid mechanics, and numerical modeling
at the Processes and Mechanical Engineering Departments of INSAT: During these
courses, I have developed specific examples on FLUENT code. These examples
treats the following processes : stratified flows, U pipe, heat exchanger,
liquid-solid flow, chlorating ditch, Dean vortices at the Process Engineering
Department. For the Mechanical Department I have presented some projects on
the following topics: external flow around an airfoil, around a cylinder,
around a stator blade. I have also teached practical courses in fluid mechanics
(friction loss, flow rate measurements, mechanically agitated vessels, rheology,
turbomachinery).
97/00
3-2-Forming Ph.D., master students,
and engineers on the FLUENT package (mesh generation, physical modeling).
