- I am generally interested in earth surface transport processes and landscape dynamics. To tackle these topics, I develop analog experiments, mathematical modeling and their comparisons with field data.
- During my PhD, I have studied through analog experiments the bedload transport of a sediment of two different grain sizes, in order to extend the bedlaod transport law to the configurations of N sizes.
Through analysis of movies (by fast camera : hundreds images/s) of my flume experiments, and I have quantified the bedload transport at the grain scale.
a) Scheme of the experimental setup used to carry out bedload experiments. b) Example of an experimental bimodal sediment bed (top view). Typical trajectories of c) a small grain, and d) a large grain transported by the flow.
