Jérôme Boudet

Jérôme Boudet is a Senior Lecturer in fluid mechanics at Centrale Lyon, where he has taught since obtaining his Habilitation to Direct Research in 2014. He serves as Head of the Aeronautics option and Director of CIRT (Industry-Research Consortium in Turbomachinery), with primary affiliation in the Energy, Transfers and Plasmas, Fluid Mechanics, Acoustics department and association with the LMFA laboratory.

His educational background includes an engineering doctorate from École Centrale de Lyon followed by postdoctoral studies at the University of Surrey (2003-2005). His research focuses on fluid mechanics phenomena in turbomachinery, particularly aerodynamic and aeroacoustic challenges in compressor and fan systems for sustainable aviation.

Boudet's expertise spans numerical simulation methods including panel techniques, vortex lattice modeling, and large-eddy simulations to analyze tip-leakage flows, separation bubbles, and noise generation in ultra-high-bypass-ratio engines. His work directly addresses carbon-free aircraft development through projects like the European Pandora initiative.

Recent publications (2022-2025) demonstrate consistent specialization in turbomachinery aeroacoustics, with emphasis on validation of open-fan configurations, noise prediction methodologies, and flow-structure interactions. These studies frequently employ comparative approaches between periodic-sector and full-annulus simulations to optimize computational efficiency.

No scientific awards were documented in the source material.

He actively supervises CIFRE industry-linked doctoral theses and holds leadership roles in major research initiatives: co-thesis director for the European Pandora project (2023-2027) on carbon-free aircraft propulsion and Scientific Manager for the DGAC Balbuzard project (2021-2024). His teaching portfolio includes core courses in Fluids and Energy, External Aerodynamics, and Numerical Methods in Mechanics.

Boudet directs CIRT to foster industry-research collaboration in turbomachinery while contributing to LMFA's experimental and computational capabilities. His current work integrates fundamental fluid dynamics with practical aviation decarbonization challenges through multi-institutional partnerships.
