Valery Botton

Valery Botton is a Professor at the University of Lyon, affiliated with the Laboratory of Fluid Mechanics and Acoustics (LMFA) under INSA Lyon. His research spans

• Complex Fluids and Transfers
• Dynamics of particles, drops and bubbles
• Non-Newtonian Fluids
• Interfaces and phase changes
• Turbulent mixing
• Environmental ecology and Energy
• Industrial processes and bioprocesses
• Transfers in boundary layers and complex geometries
• Land transport
• Free surface hydrodynamics

. He has contributed to multi-scale modeling of impurity segregation during photovoltaic silicon solidification, focusing on turbulent transport in hydrodynamic boundary layers. His work addresses applications in environmental flows, energy, and industrial processes, emphasizing numerical simulations, experimental techniques (e.g., PIV, LDV), and societal issues like clean energy production and space weather modeling. He collaborates with institutions such as CEA, CNRS, and Euro-Mediterranean University of Fez.
