Pierre Sagaut

Pierre Sagaut is a Professor at Aix-Marseille Université, leading research in the Instabilities, Turbulence and Couplings team. He serves as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal "Computers and Fluids" and holds editorial roles at Journal of Computational Physics, Journal of Turbulence, and Journal of Scientific Computing. His academic leadership extends to roles in the Scientific Council of the AFM (President) and ERCOFTAC (Vice-President).

Research Interests focus on

• Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) for compressible/turbulent flows
• Aerodynamics, aeroacoustics, and aerothermics
• Uncertainty quantification and data assimilation
• Immersed boundary techniques for complex geometries

Scientific Awards include the

• 2024 CNRS Bronze Medal
• Senior Member, Institut Universitaire de France

Article Trends highlight LBM applications in nuclear reactor safety, urban pollutant dispersion, helicopter intake dynamics, and transonic flows. Recent works address mass leakage correction, hybrid RANS/LES turbulence modeling, and quantum-inspired lattice gas algorithms.

Grants & Collaborations involve partnerships with CNRS, ERCOFTAC, and AFM, focusing on computational fluid dynamics and turbulence modeling.
