The proposed research project is about the simulation of mechanical wave propagation in the underground soil and in geophysical fluid flows. These application areas hold major challenges, from both the scientific, technical, environmental and social perspective. To give a single, topical example, hydraulic fracking, a controversial technique to extract hydrocarbons, poses important questions with respect to the potential for triggering earthquakes. Studying this phenomenon requires the development of novel computational methods, both to handle the description of the heterogeneous soil and to solve the associated (extremely) large-scale wave. For this scholarship, we propose to develop an approach based on the extended finite element method to tackle the complex geometry of the underground, first in the frequency domain (Helmholtz equations) and in a more common explicit time domain. An interaction\u00a0 with other\u00a0 research\u00a0 groups involved\u00a0 in\u00a0 this project is mandatory. The project involves numerical developments, therefore knowledge in numerical analysis and programming languages is a must.<\/p>\n
KEYWORDS : LEVEL-SETS METHOD, EXTENDED FINITE ELEMENTS METHOD, HELMHOLTZ EQUATIONS, MECHANICAL WAVES<\/p>\n
