The postdoctoral fellow will contribute to the development and implementation of novel numerical schemes to discretize the non-isochoric granular model introduced in [4].
Numerical simulations of the collapse of weakly expanded granular columns will be performed and compared with the results of experiments conducted at the Magmas and Volcanoes Laboratory (LMV, UCA).
For instance, experimental measurements of the front velocity, flow shape and internal dynamics as well as the length of the final deposit in the collapse configuration of a dense, fluidized and weakly expanded granular column will be used.
The fellow will be member of the EDPAN team in Blaise Pascal Mathematics Laboratory (LMBP, UCA) and will have access to the parallel cluster of the LMBP as computing facilities. The expected outcomes are the production of numerical simulations, comparisons with experiments as validation step, and participation in the writing of a research article.
The ability to work in collaboration with the project leaders will be essential to achieving the objectives.
This position is financed by the Institute of Mathematics for Planet Earth (CNRS). This project is the result of a collaboration between the LMBP and the LMV.
Applicants should have a background in scientific computing and numerical analysis of partial differential equations. Parallel programming skills are welcome but not mandatory.
To apply candidate must send a resume and a motivation letter. The contract will start in autumn 2024.
