Introduction
My research relates to theoretical and applied fluid mechanics and focuses on the modeling of hydrodynamics and transfers in single and multiphase flows; with the perspective of application to industrial systems and environmental fluids. I also contributed to the development of a water security conceptual model of the arid region, based on a holistic vision of water resources. In this regard, have been involved in a number of national and international academic research and technical programs.

The Eulerian–Eulerian two-fluid model presented in this paper emphasizes two aspects of the dynamic interactions between phases. First, the turbulent correlations associated with the added mass force are taken into account in the expression of the force exerted by the liquid on the bubbles, thus proving that the turbulent contributions of the inter...

This paper envisions a comprehensive balance for water management that takes into account all kinds of water resources: withdrawal (blue) water, (green) water in rainfed agriculture and the net contribution of "virtual water" to the food import-export balance. In countries where water resources are limited, this leads to a better understanding of t...

The role of the turbulence in the void,fraction distribution in bubbly pipe flow under microgravity condition is evaluated on the basis of numerical simulations using a Eulerian-Eulerian two-fluid model. In microgravity, the average relative velocity is weak and the void fraction distribution is mainly governed by the turbulence. The simulations sh...

In arid and semi-arid countries, the scarcity of water resources is a limiting factor for food production. When national water resources are limiting agricultural production, importation of food seems to be some kind of way which is used consciously or unconsciously to fill the water deficit. One speaks about "virtual water". This concept means tha...

The objective of the research is to explore the predictability of water resources directly with GCMs by analysing long-term effects of climate change on Northern Tunisia’s blue and green water. Hydrologic impacts rely on a rainfall-runoff lumped model using outputs of CMIP6 GCMs within the framework of the ssp2-45 scenario. Among the 30 CMIP6 model...
