Cinétique chimique et Aérothermodynamique pour des Propulsions et des Systèmes Energétiques Propres

The LabEx CAPRYSSES (UPR 3021 CNRS ICARE, Orléans, EA 4229 PRISME, Orléans Univ. and INSA-CVL, Bourges, and UMR 7344 GREMI CNRS-Orleans Univ. The project total staff is ~160. The objectives are to promote interactions among its expertise areas (chemical kinetics, fluid dynamics, plasma) to better understand their coupling in energy production, propulsion, chemical explosions, and flow control to improve combustion efficiency and aerodynamic performance. CAPRYSSES plays a major role in the organization of research in Region CVL and collaborates with the Labex EMC3 and VOLTAIRE. The CAPRYSSES teams have demonstrated their ability to raise external funds thanks to the leverage effect of the Labex. CAPRYSSES has supported 32 doctoral projects, 27 post-doctoral projects, 3 research engineers and 28 projects of invited international researchers. Awards/Distinctions: 1 ERC Advanced Grant; 1 B. Gelfand Medal (Russian Acad. Sci.), 2014; Innovation Awards 1* France 2015 Prize of the MBDA group; 2030 World Innovation Competition Prize (Remetox), 2015; Public Research Energy-Environment-Climate Trophy 2015 (CO2 EnergiCapt); 1 CNRS Silver Medal, 2016; 1 Egerton Gold Medal, the Combustion Institute, 2016; 1 ERC Starting Grant 2017; 1 Energy Transition Trophy in "Technologies", 2017; 1 P.
