Asymptotic analysis, homogenization ans effective models

We consider in this work phenomena described by the usual models (mostly Helmholtz, elasticity or Maxwell’s equations), the specificity is the presence of a thin layer, a thin coating, or oscillating coefficients, whose characteristic dimension is small compared to the wavelength, which could make …

At center Materials for Society, the precious alloy of science for materials

The environment, mobility, energy, computing and communications all have one thing in common...materials. There are a multitude of them, with known or unsuspected properties, and their study is a science in its own right. At the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, this science is carried out by the M4…

At IP Paris, fluid mechanics is being used to develop floating wind turbines and diversify energy sources

The offshore wind turbines of 2030 will be floating, gigantic, and capable of producing tens of megawatts of electricity. Several technologies exist to keep these behemoths afloat. Among them are damping plates designed to reduce the vertical movements—known as pounding—that they undergo and improv…

At the heart of the planets thanks to intense lasers

Understanding the internal structure of planets is key to explaining how they form and evolve. However, the experimental data are insufficient and the theoretical models incomplete. Laboratory astrophysics seeks to reproduce the extreme thermodynamic conditions of matter in the hearts of planets, …
