Topics: Acoustics, Biomechanics, Energetics, Interfaces, Materials, Fluid Mechanics, Solid Mechanics, Chemical Engineering, Complex Systems

Disciplinary Fields: Fluid Mechanics, Solid Mechanics, Energy and Transfer, Acoustics, Process Engeneering

Summary: IMI is a wide community of scientists and state-of-the-art research facilities in mechanical engineering, acoustics, energy and chemical engineering. The scientific issues addressed are centred on the study of continuous, fluid or solid media, addressing questions of deformation or flow behaviour, transfer problems and coupling with chemical reactions. Understanding deformation, movement and transfer in fluid and solid media is a requirement not only to design innovative airplanes, but also to analyse the atmosphere or the locomotion of micro-organisms for examples. The mission is to extend the knowledge in this disciplines, to develop new models, solving methods and innovative characterisation methods to tackle the complex and multidisciplinary problems of industry or of related scientific domains (geosciences, biology, environment, energy…)
