Eric Falcon’s fundamental research focuses on experimental nonlinear physics and systems far from equilibrium. He works on fluid dynamics, including wave turbulence (e.g., of surface gravity-capillary waves, hydro-elastic waves, Kelvin waves, or anisotropic MHD waves), and three-dimensional turbulent flows. He also investigates solitons and nonlinear waves in various experimental systems, as well as instabilities and self-organization in complex systems such as granular media and ferrofluids. He conducts experiments in the laboratory, as well as in large-scale facilities (such as a 150-meter wave flume and a large-diameter centrifuge) or in low-gravity environments (parabolic flights, International Space Station). His work is motivated by a better understanding of environmental phenomena and has implications in oceanography, geophysics, and astrophysics.
