<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Dear Nek's,<br><br></div>Please find attached a PhD proposal on <i>instabilities and transition to turbulence of time-periodic flows</i> using Nek 5000. In a nutshell: building on previous work done at DynFluid (ENSAM, Paris, France), the PhD candidate will have to develop (among other things) a Newton-like solver in Nek5000 to compute unstable periodic orbits and to study their stability using Floquet stability theory. One of the possible flow configurations to be studied is that of the three-dimensional shear-driven cavity flow.<br><br></div>The position starts early September/October 2018 In Paris, France. A three-year grant has been provided by the French Ministry of Higher-Education and Research to cover the wage of the PhD candidate. I would be very grateful if you could forward this PhD proposal to students of yours who would be interested.<br><br></div>Best regards,<br></div>Jean-Christophe Loiseau<br clear="all"><div><div><div><div><div><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Jean-Christophe Loiseau<br><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/loiseaujc/" target="_blank">Homepage</a><br></div></div>
