Fateh CHAABAT

Fateh CHAABAT is a doctoral researcher at the Laboratory of Fluid Mechanics and Acoustics (UMR 5509), affiliated with the University of Lyon. His research focuses on smoke behavior in ventilated tunnels under fire conditions, specifically analyzing how solid barrier screens can reduce smoke propagation by lowering critical ventilation speeds.

His work intersects fluid dynamics, acoustics, and environmental safety, utilizing both numerical simulations (Fire Dynamics Simulator) and experimental cold aeraulic models. This research aligns with broader themes of Complex Fluids and Transfers, including particle dynamics, boundary layer interactions, and industrial process safety.

The team he works with has extensive collaborations with academic institutions (e.g., LaHC, CORIA) and industry partners (e.g., Renault, Michelin), supported by funding from the ARA Region and MESR. His research contributes to optimizing safety protocols in tunnel design and existing infrastructure.
