Hello and welcome to Bullesque! We are a group of researchers and teacher-researchers working in the field of fluid mechanics. We’re particularly interested in soft matter, capillary phenomena, acoustics and gel.
This site brings together our various activities and news, but also aims to explain everyday noises such as the murmur of a river or the sound of rain. These popularization articles are primarily intended for science students, but can also be understood by all levels.
