Dr. Philippe Brunet
Philippe Brunet, Ph.D. is
Research Associate “Charge de Recherche” C.N.R.S. at the Laboratoire de
Mecanique de Lille, France.
His research focuses on instabilities in fluid-flows, free-surface flows
and wetting
phenomena, transition towards chaos, granular media, soft-condensed
matter, control of
instabilities, complex fluids and suspensions flows, fuel cells, and
transport in porous media.
Philippe authored
Stabilized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation: A useful model for
secondary instabilities
and related dynamics of experimental one-dimensional cellular
flows and
Pattern-Forming instabilities: A phenomenological approach through
simple examples,
and coauthored
Extreme resistance of super-hydrophobic surfaces to impalement:
reversible electrowetting related to the impacting/bouncing drop
test,
Rayleigh-Plateau instability causes the crown splash,
Vibration induced climbing of drops,
Complexities of Splashing, and
Parity breaking in a one-dimensional pattern : a quantitative study
with
controlled wavelength.
Philippe earned his
Civil Engineer, Ecole Supérieure de Physique et de Chimie
Industrielles (ESPCI) Paris (France) in 1999. He earned his
Master of Research at the Université Paris 6
(France) in
1999.
He earned his Ph.D. with the thesis
Structure et dynamique non-linéaire de liquides
tombants at the
Université Paris 6 (France) in 2002.
He did his post-doctoral work at the
Royal Institute of Technology (KTH),
Stockholm (Sweden) and the University of Bristol, UK.
