We belong to the GDR AMORE on ROMs.

Starting grants

A PEPS project ("Programme Exploratoire Premier Soutien"), initiated by Afaf Bouharguane, about Optimal Transport Theory. Angelo Iollo and Lisl Weynans are also involved in this project.

A PEPS project ("Programme Exploratoire Premier Soutien") on the numerical simulation of the biomimetic undulatory swimming for both under water vehicle optimisation and the Modeling of human locomotor system, initiated by Michel Bergmann with the MRGM laboratory (Laboratoire Maladies Rares : Génétique et Métabolism, https://mrgm.u-bordeaux.fr/). Afaf Bouharguane and Angelo Iollo are also involved in this project.

NEMO (A Numerical Enabler for MultiPhysics Simulations on Octrees) is an action to improve and merge all the main MEMPHIS numerical codes. To achieve this goal we have a 12 months financial support (Inria BSO FRM) for a young engineer. This work will be done with strong interaction the the local Inria BSO SED as well as Philippe Depouilly from the IMB "SED".

SMecH is a start-up project in software edition, carried on by Florian Bernard, research engineer in the MEMPHIS team. The project aims at porting to an industrial level the numerical codes developed by the MEMPHIS team. The different collaboration with industrial partners have highlighted the need of new numerical tools to simulate high complexity phenomena such as atmospheric reentries, multi-material flows or fund-structure interactions, but also to highly automatize the numerical simulation workflow to save engineer time. The research codes developed in the MEMPHIS team could match perfectly to this need thanks to:

• the various innovative multi-physics models implemented

• the use of Hierarchical Cartesian schemes that automatize the treatment of moving geometry with accuracy

• the development of schemes suitable for High Parallel Computing.

This year, the project has been submitted to the DGDT, the Inria department in charge of technological transfert, and has been granted an engineer for 6 months as well as the support of IT-Translation.
