On a national scale
We have been working closely with the GREMI laboratory for 10 years on the use of plasma as an actuator for active flow control.
The “Active aerodynamic control of load fluctuations on the rotor and blades of a wind turbine” project is the fruit of collaboration with VERGNET SA.
The ANR SéPaCode formalizes a privileged collaboration with the PPrime Institute and the LML around the active control of closed-loop detachments.
Recurrent research activity in the field of automotive aerodynamics and control has led to collaborations with Renault SA, PSA Peugeot Citroën, Plastic Omnium and CNRT R2A.
On an international scale
The PERSEUS project (agreement no. 887010, 2020-2023) coordinated by the PRISME laboratory (ESA axis) is part of the CleanSky program (H2020), which aims to reduce the environmental impact of the aeronautical sector.
The European Plasmaéro project has brought together 11 European institutions around plasma control for aeronautics. This program has fostered collaborations with Dassault Aviation, Institut Pprime, ONERA, Institut LAPLACE, Nottingham University (UK), Szewalski Institute of Fluid Flow Machinery, Polish Academy of Sciences (Poland).

Self-adaptive passive control activities are the subject of a collaboration with the University of Genoa.
Flow control for automotive applications brings together our axis and Florida State University.
The European WAUDIT project for estimating wind potential in complex terrain has generated collaborations with the Von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics (Belgium), Hamburg Universität (Germany) and Loughborough University (UK).
Research into inter-wind turbine interaction is characterized by collaborations with the Ecole de Technologie Supérieure de Montréal (Canada, joint thesis) and Surrey University (UK).
