Présentation

My research focuses on the biomechanical determinants and optimisation of sports performance using fundamental and applied approaches. My main contributions relate to a better understanding of propulsive mechanisms in aquatic activities, and in particular the role of unsteady effects in propulsion. This original unsteady approach breaks with a quasi-stationary analysis of flow, which currently predominates in the field of research into aquatic activities. My research theme is based on an innovative analysis methodology using complementary measurement tools:

Three-dimensional kinematic measurements in an aquatic context using a motion capture device.

Flow measurements using a PIV-2D (Particle Image Velocimetry in two dimensions) device.

Numerical simulations using finite volume numerical resolution (CFD, by Urans methodology).

Force and torque measurements using 6-component sensors adapted to the aquatic environment.These studies are based on collaborative work within the Institut P', between the both departments GMSC (Mechanical Engineering of Complex Systems; RoBioSS team) and FTC (Fluid, Thermal, Combustion; HydEE team).
