Organisation
The French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) is a key player in research, development and innovation in four main areas :
• defence and security,
• nuclear energy (fission and fusion),
• technological research for industry,
• fundamental research in the physical sciences and life sciences.
Drawing on its widely acknowledged expertise, and thanks to its 16000 technicians, engineers, researchers and staff, the CEA actively participates in collaborative projects with a large number of academic and industrial partners.
The CEA is established in ten centers spread throughout France

Job description
In the context of industrial digitalization and real-time monitoring, accessing 3D fields (velocity, viscosity, turbulence, concentration, etc.) in real time can be crucial, as local sensor networks are sometimes insufficient to provide a comprehensive view of the system's dynamics. This PhD project aims to investigate a methodology for the real-time reconstruction of fields within an instrumented industrial tank equipped with a mixing system. The proposed approach relies on finite element modeling of the relevant physics within the tank (e.g., fluid dynamics, thermal processes) and model reduction techniques such as physics-based Machine Learning (virtual sensor approach). A key focus of this thesis will also be the development of the tank instrumentation and its associated acquisition chain, both to validate the models and to generate a database for applying the proposed methodology.
