Internship and thesis proposals
Modeling the action of seasons on frozen soils

Domaines
Soft matter
Physics of liquids
Hydrodynamics/Turbulence/Fluid mechanics

Type of internship
Expérimental
Description
The goal of the internship is to study experimentally a model of a periglacial soil undergoing freezing/thawing cycles. The system will consist in a wet granular material in which a moving freezing front will be imposed. During the internship, different strategies for visualizing the micromechanical processes taking place in the system during the displacement of the front will be developed and the obtained measurements will be analyzed and modeled.
