Julien FAVIER

Julien FAVIER is a Professor at Aix-Marseille Université, where he directs the M2P2 laboratory and coordinates the H2020 FALCON project on fluid-structure interaction in aeronautics. He also serves as an associate editor for Computers and Fluids.

• Research Focus: Fluid-structure interaction (FSI), Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM), Immersed Boundary Method (IBM), turbulent and compressible flows
• Applications: Biomedical (aortic valves, mucus transport), aerospace (hypersonic flows), and mechanical systems (rupture/fragmentation)

Scientific Contributions include:

• Developing stable explicit FSI solvers for LBM-IBM coupling
• Modeling metachronal wave dynamics in cilia arrays
• Advancing compressible LBM with rotating overset grids
• Studying drag reduction via flexible filament coatings
• Pioneering non-Newtonian fluid transport simulations

Technical Expertise spans:

• Multi-grid and dual-time stepping techniques
• GPU acceleration for heterogeneous architectures
• Viscoelastic and Herschel-Bulkley flow modeling
• Validation of immersed boundary methods for turbulent flows
