It is commonly accepted that the continuous increase in computer performance, combined with the progress of mathematical algorithms, has led to unprecedented developments in the numerical simulation of complex physical phenomena. But these enhanced computing capabilities have also revolutionized our approach...

The rapid development of wind energy production depends, to a great extent, on improving its energy efficiency and its economic profitability. To maximize performance and operating life spans, the
The OQUAIDOa applied mathematics chair, launched in January 2016 and hosted by the École des Mines engineering school in Saint-Étienne, brings together academic and industrial partnersb to tackle
The scientific cooperation agreement signed with INRIA in 2015 covers two fields: the “digital and IT performance of simulators” and the “control and optimization of complex systems”. A thesis carried
In hybrid vehicles, onboard algorithms are aimed at splitting power between the various energy sources in order to minimize fuel consumption and/or pollutant emissions. This real-time management
Recovering heat from exhaust gases using the Rankine thermodynamic cyclea is one of the avenues being explored to reduce the energy consumption of IC engines. Tried and tested for stationary
The fatigue resistance of floating offshore wind turbines is significantly affected by the wave forces to which their supporting platforms are exposed. Passive and active damper systems — preferably
