Physics of fracture: Experimentally demonstrating the role of local heating on crack dynamics
Stage M2CEA Saclay, Site de l’Orme des merisiers (91) Essonne, FranceFebruary 3 20256 monthDomain, Specialties : Material physics Keywords: Fracture, solid state physics Research Unit : SPEC / SPHYNX The aim of this internship is to set up and optimize a new method for studying material fractures. It consists in post-mortem imaging of the localized heating that occurred during fracture propagation, by micro-Raman analysis of the partial carbonization…

Experimental study of boundary layers in turbulent convection by diffusive waves spectroscopy
SPHYNX : Soft matter and complex fluidsParis-Saclay Physique en Île-de-France (EDPIF) SaclayTurbulent convection is one of the main drivers of geophysical and astrophysical flows, and is therefore a key element in climate modeling. It is also involved in many industrial flows. Transport… -
Can we predict the weather or the climate?
SPHYNX : Theoretical PhysicsParis-Saclay Physique en Île-de-France (EDPIF) SaclayAccording to everyone’s experience, predicting the weather reliably for more than a few days seems an impossible task for our best weather agencies. Yet, we all know of examples of “weather … -
