Marc Jaeger

Marc Jaeger is a Professor at Aix-Marseille University, affiliated with the M2P2 Institute (Institut de Mécanique des Fluides et des Solides de Marseille, UMR 7340). He leads the Small-scale Processes and Mechanics research team, focusing on fundamental fluid dynamics with applications in nuclear energy and biomedical engineering.

His research spans:

• Microscale and nanoscale fluid dynamics
• Multiphase flows with separated phases
• Thermal hydraulics in nuclear systems
• Vesicle, capsule, and red blood cell mechanics
• Computational methods (boundary element, isogeometric analysis)

Jaeger integrates theoretical modeling, numerical simulation, and experimental validation to address complex fluid-structure interactions in confined and multiphase environments.

Analysis of his 2014-2024 publications reveals a dominant focus on deformable particle dynamics in flow. Key trends include vesicle/capsule behavior under shear/extensional flows, surfactant effects on droplet stability, and computational advances for biological flows. Recent work (2023-2024) emphasizes biomedical applications like red blood cell modeling and nuclear safety through thermal hydraulics.

The Small-scale Processes and Mechanics team under Jaeger investigates microscale fluid phenomena using interdisciplinary approaches that bridge fluid mechanics, computational science, and biophysics for energy and healthcare solutions.
