Post-Doctoral Researcher Physics/Acoustics: Fellowship In Nohena Grant (M / F)

Universities And Institutes Of France

Description

Organisation/Company: CNRS

Research Field: Engineering › Materials engineering Physics › Acoustics

Researcher Profile: Recognised Researcher (R2)

Application Deadline: 12/08/2022 23:59 - Europe/Brussels

Location: France › LE MANS

Type Of Contract: Temporary

Job Status: Full-time

Hours Per Week: 35

Offer Starting Date: 01/10/2022

During this contract, the postdoc will develop theoretical tools to describe the effect of nonlinearities in waveguides loaded with scatterers featuring loss, gain or both losses and gain (PT-symmetry). Nonlinearities in acoustic waveguides usually come from: propagating nonlinearities due to the fluid dynamics (e.g. amplitude dependent celerity) or as amplitude dependent losses (e.g. vortex shedding). Several configurations (single or pperiodic arrangements) of different scatterers will be analysed including resonant scatterers (Helmholtz resonators), diaphragms (steep changes of waveguide cross-section), or even active scatterers (loud-speakers).

The postdoctoral researcher will be part of the “Waveguides and Structures” team of LAUM. The research activities of the team are mainly on wave phenomena in waveguides including the themes of metamaterials, aeroacoustics, nonlinear waves, disorder, symmetries and topology. He/she will work under the supervision of Dr. VassosAchilleos and in close collaboration with other members of the team within the context of the NoHeNA project. The aim of this project is to understand the role of nonlinearity in waveguides which feature loss and/or gain. In acoustics, losses is a subject well studied and with a long history while it's interplay with gain has recently been observed (also in LAUM) using active elemenbts (spealers) air-flow or thermoacoustic elements. One goal is to extend the current knowledge regarding phenomena such as PT-symmetry, unidirectional absorption/or reflection in the presence of nonlinearities. The main objectives will be sought theoretically and numerically, but a close collaboration with the experimental teams of thermoacostics and aeroacoustics is expected for the experimental verification of new phenomena (see also the ANR-SELFIXs project in LAUM).

The postdoc will be hosted by Laboratoried'Acoustique de l'Université du Mans (LAUM), a joint research unit between the Le Mans Université and CNRS, UMR 6613 (section 9, Institut des sciences de l'ingénierie et des systèmes, INSIS). LAUM has about 160 employees including 60 full-time researchers and professors-researchers. It is a leading institution in Acoustics, with a unique ensemble of equipment for general acoustics. It is associated with CNRS, the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) in France.
