Interaction fluide-structure [...] Ce thème de recherche regroupe l’étude du mouvement de systèmes complexes comportant des corps rigides, des structures souples (câbles) et des fluides. Deux applications sont plus précisement envisagées : a) La première concerne la stabilité d’attitude des satellites en rotation munis de réservoirs partiellement remplis de liquide. Le but de l’étude est l’obtention d’un critère de stabilité qui prend en compte le couplage entre le mouvement de ballottement du fluide et le mouvement d’ensemble d’un satellite tournant. Il s’agit d’un problème difficile pour lequel les méthodes numériques classiques ne s’appliquent pas. D’autres méthodes ont été proposées qui reposent sur les propriétés mathématiques des modes d’oscillations du liquide. 3, record 13, French, - corps%20rigide

Un volet tourbillonnaire ou LEVF est une surface inclinable ajoutée aux bords d’attaque d’une aile delta. Sur une aile delta classique, plate, un tourbillon de décollement de flux apparaît sur l'extrados, à quelque distance des bords d’attaque de l'aile; sur une aile delta avec LEVF abaissés, le tourbillon se forme au-dessus des volets eux-mêmes, beaucoup plus près de la surface; dans ce deuxième cas, la force de succion engendrée par la dépression que représente ce tourbillon est perpendiculaire à la surface des volets, donc dirigée vers l'avant, contribuant ainsi à augmenter la poussée, diminuer la traînée [...] bref augmenter le rapport portance/traînée. 1, record 16, French, - volet%20inclinable%20tourbillonnaire
