Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that our first CoPerMix workshop (Fundamentals of mixing) will be held from the 17th to the 21st of January 2022 in Marseille. The objective of this first workshop in Marseille is to provide an advanced common background on the phenomenology of mixing, its lamellar representation, the exposition of state-of-the-art experiments, and associated computational methods.
While primarily oriented toward fundamentals, this workshop will be followed by others in more specialized sectors such as the coupling of mixing with chemical reactions, phase changes or signaling (Trieste), a Cargèse school exploring the frontiers of the discipline, and a final Solvay Conference program wrap-up (Bruxelles).
This first workshop in Marseille is mandatory for all PhD students of the CoPerMIx project and strongly recommended for all Copermix supervisors.
It is also open to every other participant who would like to learn more about mixing processes in general. Please find the program attached to this email and make sure to register on the following website:https://copermix.sciencesconf.org/?forward-action=index&forward-controller=index&lang=en
Do not hesitate to contact Elisabeth Naregatzian (elisabeth.naregatzian@univ-amu.fr) for further details.
In the hope to see many of you there,
Best regards
E. Villermaux

Bonjour à tous,
Nous avons le plaisir de vous inviter à une école d’été en présentiel sur le thème de l’Acoustofluidique sur l’Ile de Porquerolles, du lundi 13 juin au vendredi 17 juin 2022. Cette école s’adresse à un public varié : doctorants, post-doctorants et chercheurs désirant s’initier ou se perfectionner.
L’interaction des ondes acoustiques avec les fluides est un domaine scientifique en plein essor aux applications multiples. L’effet des ultrasons sur des objets en suspension (particules solides, cellules, bulles et mousses, gouttelettes), ainsi que celui des ondes sonores dans les systèmes microfluidiques sont autant de situations complexes qui mêlent la physique ondulatoire et la mécanique des fluides.
Les informations seront mises à jour au fil du temps sur ce site web
https://www-liphy.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr/acoustofluidique2022
Le thèmes qui seront abordés seront les suivants :
– interactions non-linéaires ondes acoustiques / particules (pression de radiation) ou ondes acoustique / fluide (acoustic streaming), propagation en milieux complexes
– synthèse de champs structurés : méthodes et potentialité pour la manipulation
– acoustophorèse, manipulation, piégeage
– effet de grande amplitude : rupture, cavitation, échauffement
– signature acoustique produite par des reconfigurations interfaciales brutales
– réalisations expérimentales : microfluidique et laboratoires sur puces, milieu vivants et cellules
Inscriptions au printemps 2022. Merci de diffuser l’information dès maintenant !
Pour le comité d’organisation (Michael Baudoin, Caroline Derec, Philippe Marmottant)
Adding a sufficient quantity of small repulsive particles (e.g. cornstarch, CaCO3 + additives) to a Newtonian liquid triggers spectacular behaviors: the suspension flows under low shear stresses and jams, i.e. solidifies, at larger stresses. Recently, this sharp transition has been shown to result from the sudden establishment of frictional contacts between the particles as the repulsive stress is overcome1,2, and to trigger a new type of waves (‘Oobleck’ waves)3. However, its consequences on such a simple and ubiquitous flow as the flow in a straight pipe is still an open question.
The post-doc will precisely tackle this, apparently, simple question: How does a shear-thickening suspension flow inside a pipe? Using experiments with model shear-thickening suspensions, the goal is to address how the resistance and structure of the flow depend on the level of stress and pipe dimensions. The sliding of the particles at the wall and their migration across the pipe will be considered. In the footprints of Reynolds4, addressing the transition to the shear-jamming of the suspension will also demand to probe the stability of the flow – both in terms of steadiness and laminarity.
This research will be performed in partnership with Chryso, a company developing additives (super- plasticisers) for high performance, high-flowability concretes. The results, first obtained with model shear thickening suspensions, will then be compared to the behavior of calcium carbonate + superplasticizers suspensions, with the aim to improve fluidizing additive characteristics and concrete pumping conditions.
Context: The work will be mostly experimental involving advanced pressure-imposed rheological charac- terizations, pressure measurements and X-Ray imaging technics. It will be performed at IUSTI under the supervision of H. Lhuissier, P. Boustingorry, B. Metzger and Y. Forterre. This PostDoc is part of the ANR project ScienceFriction which also comprises theoretical and numerical approaches in collaboration with M. Wyart at EPFL, Switzerland, and with R. Mari at LiPhy, Grenoble. One other post-doc and two other PhDs will simultaneously work on other aspects of the project. We thus expect synergetic interactions and constructive collaborations between the partners and the students of this project.
Candidates having a background in Physics, Fluid Mechanics, Soft Matter, Physical chemistry and with a strong taste for both experiments and theoretical analysis are invited to apply (CV+Letter of support).

Nous attirons votre attention sur le Mini-Symposium Mechanics and Physics of Structures de l’European Solids Mechanics Conference (Galway-Ireland,4-8 July 2022) qui nous semble d’intérêt pour MePhy
We point your attention to the Mini-Symposium Mechanics and Physics of Structures at European Solids Mechanics Conference (Galway-Ireland,4-8 July 2022), which we find very relevant to the MePhy community.
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS = 19 November 2021
The past years have seen a renewed interest from the Physics community in Solid Mechanics. Condensed-Matter Physicists, for example, are sometimes revisiting problems of Mechanics and Materials understood to be “classical” by Mechanical Engineers. Such an interest has brought a reinvigorating stimulus to the Solid Mechanics community in the area of geometrically non-linear problems of thin or slender structures, meta- and programmable materials and actuators, multi-physics interactions (surface tension, fluid-structure, magneto- or electrostatic coupling, responsive materials such as liquid-crystal elastomers), singularities and localization, deployable structures, fracture path stability. An example is “Buckling”, which was often viewed as problematic for the operation of elastic structures but is now exploited in the design of structures that deliberately change shape while retaining structural integrity. Entertaining the notion of shape-change by itself has permitted intrigue beyond the mechanical world into ever-changing biological structures. Understanding Nature’s principles of growth and form has subsequently inspired the development of synthetic “soft matter” for broader applications and applied solutions where traditional methods had faltered. There is much to be discovered or “rediscovered” in bringing together, again, the research communities from Solid Mechanics and Physics. By themselves, they have their own approaches and paradigms, but they focus on the same pursuit of compact analytical models and the deep understanding of phenomena. Moreover, they gather around common tools, from nonlinear mathematics, precise desktop experiments, to computational software including finite element analysis and computer graphics. Our mini-symposium therefore encourages our colleagues and friends to celebrate structures and their remarkable performances in a broad range of settings and applications.
