GdR EGRIN (2013–2017)
Participant : Jacques Sainte-Marie.
EGRIN stands for Gravity-driven flows and natural hazards. J. Sainte-Marie is the head of the scientific committee of this CNRS research group. As such, J. Sainte-Marie participated to the consortium of the prospective think tank “Mathematics and the complexity of the system Earth” launched by the French agency for research in the framework of the UNESCO year “Mathematics of Planet Earth”.
Inria Project Lab “Algae in Silico”
Participants : Anne-Céline Boulanger, Marie-Odile Bristeau, Raouf Hamouda, Jacques Sainte-Marie.
The team is involved in the GreenStars project (“Investissement d’avenir”) which is a collaboration between academic institutions (INRA, Inria, Univ. Pierre et Marie Curie Paris 6, ...) and the industrial world. (among which are: Air Liquide, ACRI, Alfa Laval, Algaestream, Algenics, Algu'Innov, Bioalgostral, EADS, Eco-Solution, Envolure, Fermentalg, Greensea, IDEE Aquaculture, La Compagnie du Vent-GDF Suez, Microphyt, Naskeo Environnement, Ondalys, Peugeot Citroën Automobiles, Rhodia, Roquette, Sofiprotéol, Soliance, Solvay, Suez Environnement, TIA, TOTAL, Véolia Environnement.) The main purpose of GreenStars is to lay the foundations for the entire sector, from energy generation to waste recycling and production of compounds of interest. GreenStars also plans to play a long-term role in this field by training technicians, engineers and researchers. In order to structure and support the contributions of Inria in this domain, an Inria Project Lab called “Algae in Silico” has been funded.
The PhD thesis of A.-C. Boulanger was a part of this project. Likewise, the ADT In@lgae was launched in this framework in collaboration with the BIOCORE Inria project-team and enabled the recruitment of R. Hamouda as a young engineer.
ANR LANDQUAKE (2012–2016)
Participant : Anne Mangeney.
Within the ANR domain “Mathematics and Interfaces”, this ANR project (between Univ. Paris-Est – LAMA, Univ. Denis Diderot Paris 7 – IPGP, Univ. Nantes – LPGN, Univ. Strasbourg EOST, euros) deals with the mathematical and numerical modelling of landslides and generated seismic waves.
LRC Manon (2010–2014)
Participants : Edwige Godlewski, Yohan Penel, Nicolas Seguin.
CEA and Laboratory Jacques-Louis Lions launched a collaboration 4 years ago. Studies are carried out about compressible two-phase flows and model coupling, for instance in the case of an asymptotic hierarchy of models.
Structure Health Monitoring
Participant : Nicolas Seguin.
This collaboration with the Ifsttar also comprises Inria researchers from the I4S team. The goal is to provide efficient numerical tools to take into account the impact of the flows around the structures. The most challenging part of this project concerns the off-shore wind turbines and the understanding of the ice formation on the structure.
ANR project HJnet (2013–2015)
Participant : Edwige Godlewski.
This research project consists in studying Hamilton-Jacobi equations on networks, and more generally on heterogeneous structures. This theoretical problem has several potential applications, in particular to traffic flow theory.
Hydraulics for environment and sustainable development (HED)
The scienfitic group (GIS in French), to which Inria is a partner, brings together scientists and engineers involved in hydraulics, risk management and sustainable development. ANGE belongs to this group. On the one hand, the team can be provided with experimental measurements (erosion, long waves, fluid structure interactions,...) thanks to this collaboration; on the other hand, the GIS can favor the transfer of numerical tools and scientific results.
