Emmanuel Plaut Ph.D. in Physics, with Habilitation Professor Université de Lorraine - Mines Nancy Researcher in Lemta, CNRS UMR7563

Version française

      I worked a lot on the transition towards spatio-temporal complexity and turbulence. However, now I study developed turbulence. I present on this web page the results of such works with colleagues, essentially, in Lemta, on pattern forming convection instabilities in nematic liquid crystals, systems presenting nonlinear waves, magnetized plasmas, flows in shear-thinning fluids and turbulence models.

Researcher since 1993, I published, with some colleagues, articles.

Former PhD students (co-direction with Jean-Pierre Brancher then Chérif Nouar and Christel Métivier) are

• Yannick Lebranchu, now engineer at EDF/Edvance ;
• Nicolas Roland, now engineer at Safran Aircraft Engines - Villaroche ;
• Abdelfateh Chekila, now maître de conférences at Université de Saïda ;
• Mondher Bouteraa, now engineer at ArcelorMittal, Maizières-lès-Metz.

If you want to know about my teaching activities and responsibilities at École des Mines de Nancy
- in particular, I am Assistant to the Head of the option Energy & Fluid Mechanics -
please consult my french page.

I teach transition to turbulence and turbulence modelling for CFD in English.

I am also the departmental coordinator of an Erasmus programme between the université de Lorraine and the university of Oldenburg. Please visit this page about this program !
