Pierre Boivin

Pierre Boivin is a Chargé de Recherche at CNRS with a Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (HDR), affiliated with the Thermodynamique Ondes Numérique Interfaces Combustion team at M2P2 Institute (Aix-Marseille University). His work bridges theoretical and applied combustion research, focusing on numerical methods for reactive flows and hydrogen safety.

• Key Research Areas: Combustion physics, hydrogen flame modeling, lattice Boltzmann methods (LBM), compressible flow simulation, and detonation/ignition prediction.
• Scientific Contributions: 2024 CNRS Bronze Medal for advancing hydrogen combustion theory; developed novel LBM solvers for compressible flows and reduced-order models for self-ignition risks.
• Collaborations: Frequent co-authorship with Song Zhao, Pierre Sagaut, and teams at M2P2 and CNRS.

  Article Trends: Recent publications (2025–2021) emphasize LBM for hydrogen combustion, shock-wave interactions, and safety modeling. Key subfields include reactive flow stability, thermodiffusive instabilities, and hybrid numerical algorithms.

  Scientific Awards:

  • CNRS Bronze Medal (2024) for hydrogen combustion breakthroughs.
