Catherine Le Ribault

Catherine Le Ribault is a Researcher (CNRS) at the Laboratoire de Mécanique des Fluides et d’Acoustique (LMFA), affiliated with École Centrale de Lyon. Her research focuses on fluid mechanics and acoustics with specialization in granular flows, environmental fluid dynamics, and turbulence modeling. She is part of the Fluides Complexes et Transfert group, contributing to studies on dune dynamics, particle transport, and multiphase flows.

Key research areas include aeolian processes, boundary layer interactions, and computational simulations of geophysical phenomena. Her work addresses applications in environmental engineering and geophysics. At LMFA, she collaborates on projects related to environmental flows and experimental/numerical methods, leveraging the lab’s infrastructure for fluid mechanics research.
