Mathieu Mettille

Mathieu Mettille has a Master's degree from the University of Applied Sciences and previously worked as a research assistant in the hydroelectricity research group. Since 2023, he has been pursuing a doctorate in collaboration with Laval University in Quebec. His work focuses mainly on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applied to hydraulic engineering. As an assistant, he was particularly interested in flows in Pelton turbines and hydraulic short-circuit phenomena. His thesis now focuses on the study of transient regimes, particularly during the start-up phases of Francis turbines. The aim is to develop new simulation methods to assess the impact of transient events on turbine life.
