Laboratory FAST (Fluides, Automatique et Systèmes Thermiques) is a CNRS research laboratory (UMR 7608), associated with University Paris-Sud.
The different topics are related to hydrodynamics, transfer, and mechanics and hydrodynamics in dispersed media.
The systems under study are simple or multicomponent fluids, macroscopic dispersed media (suspensions, granular materials, porous media, fractures…) and soft condensed matter (polymers, colloids, gels…)
Experiments (flow visualisation, quantitative image analysing, acoustic investigations, high resolution gravimetry, rheology…) as well as analytical models and numerical simulations are developed.
