Postdoc – Dynamic and stability of superhydrophobic surfaces
Where ? MSC lab, Paris 13th district With whom ? Philippe Brunet, Adrien Bussonnière & Laurent Limat Superhydrophobic surfaces (SHS) are bioinspired surfaces (from lotus leaves) able to repel water through the synergy of microroughness and hydrophobicity. When immersed in water, such surfaces can trap an air layer inside the microstructure, a layer called plastron, opening the avenue for drag reduction application thanks to the significant slip length water experiences on the plastron. However, this air layer can become [...]
M2 Internship Proposal – Heterogeneous cavitation
Where ? Matière et Systèmes Complexes (MSC), CNRS UMR 7057, Paris 13 With whom ? Adrien Bussonnière Contact me Heterogeneous cavitation : origin of the cavitation nuclei We are looking for a motivated intern to join our research team and perform experiments in fluid mechanics. This internship aims at understanding the origin of bubbles ! Indeed, the apparition of macroscopic bubbles inside a liquid either by boiling when temperature increases, from cavitation when pressure decreases or in supersaturated solution [...]
