• Abstract: The objective is to study flow control devices for aeronautical applications. This project gathers twelve European partners and twelve Chinese partners for a common work that includes both experimental and numerical studies. Opale project-team is in charge of developing numerical algorithms to optimize flow control devices (vortex generators, synthetic jets).

• Abstract: The main objective of GRAIN2 is to focus its greening activities following the Flight Path 2050 Vision for Aircraft en route to the very ambitious challenge "Protecting the environment and the energy supply" in three major following lines: i) greening the air vehicle, ii) greening the Air transport System and iii) Reducing the carbon foot print of aviation via sustainable alternative fuels. GRAIN2 will identify innovative R & D methods, tools and HPC environments (supercomputers and GPGPUs) in the different KGTs according to the needs of major aeronautical industries to deeper understand the mechanism of engine exhaust emissions, to improve fuel efficiency and environmental performance, to lower noise for landing gear and high lift surfaces, to introduce new materials with multiple functions, to help significantly the development of biofuels for greenhouse gas emission reduction, etc.

TraM3

• Type: IDEAS

• Title: TRaffic Management by Macroscopic Models

• Instrument: ERC Starting Grant

• Objectif: NC

• Duration: October 2010 - September 2015

• Coordinator: Inria

• Inria contact: Paola Goatin

• Abstract: The project intends to investigate traffic phenomena from the macroscopic point of view, using models derived from fluid-dynamics consisting in hyperbolic conservation laws. The scope is to develop a rigorous analytical framework and fast and efficient numerical tools for solving optimization and control problems, such as queues lengths control or buildings exits design.
