Thermal Sciences M2

The Thermal Sciences specialization provides high-level training in

• transfers (advanced heat transfer, turbulent transfers, porous media transfers, diphasic flow transfers, dense media and gas radiation, etc.)
• reactive media (combustion, possibly plasmas) and related techniques (turbomachines, etc.):

Student-researchers may customize their training from among a wide array of elective courses, covering all aspects of the energy sector.

A laboratory project (2 ECTS in S3, 6 ECTS in S4)
Within one of the Master program's supporting laboratories. A detailed proposal must be approved by the Master program's coordinators before work gets underway.

An advanced research or R&D internship, 20 ECTS (from end of April to mid-September), at an academic laboratory, a research organ or institute (CNRS, CEA, IFP, IRSN, CSTB etc.), or a company research center; the internship must entail original and significant physical and/or numerical and/or experimental modeling; a detailed proposal must be approved by the Master program's coordinators before work gets underway.
