He specialized in fluid mechanics, co-founder of the Aeronautical Research Office of Algiers, which became ONERA after the Second World War. Having worked for a long time in the Sahara, he had the opportunity to observe many whirlwinds of sand (dust devil). In 1956 he filed his first patent in Algiers on the artificial cyclone generator, this patent was re-filed later in Paris. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
