During my postdoc, I was working on Lattice Boltzmann Method in the Reactive Flows and Turbulence Team at the Institute Jean Le Rond D'Alembert, UPMC Paris. More specifically, I developed a surface acoustic impedance condition for LBM. The reduction of noise emissions is known to be one of the key issues of turbofan engines development. With the development of land transports such as high speed trains, the level of emmited noise becomes a more general issue. Most of recent railway station are already provided by noise barriers and acoustic treatments. Physically, these laminar liners are composed of porous sheets with backing air cavities. The design of these panels is difficult and expensive. Consequently, numerical simulations are a usefull toll. This work wass funded by a 1-year postdoc grant of the organizations ADEME and PREDIT.
