Siv, Easeng. "Étude expérimentale mésoscopique de la migration des interfaces dans le cuivre polycristallin." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019USPCD031.
A polycrystal is made up of an agglomerate of micrometric single crystals adjoining each other. The interface between two rotated single crystals forms a grain boundary (GB). GBs play an important role in the plastic behaviour of crystalline materials. Under certain conditions of heat (HT) or thermomechanical (TT) treatments, GBs can migrate and cause microstructures to evolve radically. However, these ancient phenomena remain poorly understood and there is no quantitative model describing migration. In this context, we experimentally studied the migration of GB in two grades of electrolytic copper of the same purity. One is delivered in the form of a sheet obtained by cold rolling followed by continuous annealing at 700°C (called copper I), and is recrystallized. The other, supplied as a cylinder (copper II), is partially recrystallized. An initial heat treatment allows to obtain a reference state then different HT and TM are carried out in order to study the migration of the grains boundaries.Our interest lies in the conditions of critical strain hardening (grain growth during germination-free annealing after very low plastic deformation) in order to observe strain-induced migration (Strain Induced Boundary Migration SIBM). The displacement of GB by the mechanism was observed in-situ in SEM. A combined EBSD and AFM measurement technique is used to quantitatively monitor microstructural changes and evaluate the different driving forces involved. The displacement of the GB is precisely quantified thanks to the phenomenon of thermal etching and the existence of stationary points in the EBSD pictures. The stored energy, associated with the dislocation microstructures in each grain, was estimated by two methods, the measurement of local disorientation using KAM mapping and the simulation by a relaxed Taylor model including a physically justified crystal plasticity law and accounting for an isotropic or anisotropic restoration. The curvature of GBs, the 2nd driving force involved, is evaluated from the observed contours of GBs. A migration diagram is drawn and represents the displacements of GBs as a function of estimates of the curvature energy of GB and the difference in stored energy. Significant differences with the behavior of Al polycrystals are noted, certainly due to the difference in stacking fault energy and the existence of numerous twins. From our statistical analysis of copper I using EBSD data, triple junctions seem to strongly influence the migration of GBs

General description of the domain. The general question that will be pursued as part of the thesis will be to study differential operators on Riemannian spaces and their applications. The Laplace and Dirac operators are among the most important differential operators arising in applications. There are many connections between these two types of operators, due to Lichnerowicz' formula, a French mathematician of the last century. However, Laplace operators have been much more studied than the Dirac operators. Dirac operators, also called Atiyah--Singer operators, are fundamental operators in Riemannian geometry and in index theory. These operators are associated to a metric and a Clifford bundle with an admissible connection. Their generalizations are the main object in Kasparov's theory, which is a fundamental theory in Operator Algebras. It is believed that the Dirac operators will play a central role in Grothendieck's program to generalize the Riemann--Roch theorem to singular algebraic varieties. Dirac operators have therefore been much studied in theoretical mathematics, as well as in its applications. The Maxwell and de Rham operators are special cases of Dirac operators. Dirac operators appear in many applications in other domains of mathematics and theoretical physics, such as field theory in curved space-time or the theory of general relativity. These operators are thus a link between the fundamental mathematics and its applications. Theses subject: There are many results on the analysis of the Dirac operators, but most of them are on smooth compact varieties, with or without boundary. However, it is important to study these operators for non-compact or non-smooth spaces (or varieties). For example, applications to algebraic varieties and to the Grothendieck program require the case of non smooth varieties. The subject we propose to use the results and the techniques introduced by Monique Dauge and her collaborators to study the singularities of the Dirac operators in a polyhedral domain and other singular domains. A particular problem is to obtain the application to the calculation of de Rham's homology with finite complexes, as in the recent works of Douglas Arnold. For the regularity of the solutions of the Dirac equation we propose to use the methods recently introduced by Bernd Amman and Nadine Grosse or by Victor Nistor and Nadine Grosse in recent articles. The thesis will also study the Dirac operators with nonlinear terms and potentials. A concrete problem here is to study nonlinear models coupled with Maxwell's equation, which arrise, for example in magneto-hydrodynamic models and in the Vlasov-Maxwell equation

Sayet, Julien. "Effect of grain boundary nature and connectivity on the diffusion of hydrogen in heterogeneous materials : numerical study." Electronic Thesis or Diss., La Rochelle, 2023. http://www.theses.fr/2023LAROS005.
Anticipating hydrogen embrittlement requires knowledge of the effect of different time and spatial scales within diffusion and trapping processes in the material's microstructure. In this work, we examine the impact of various types of triple junctions (TJ) and grain boundaries (GB) and their connectivity on the diffusion of hydrogen. First, we propose four algorithms to control the distribution of TJ fractions depending on a given fraction of Random grain boundaries. Then, using finite element modeling, we investigate the effects of triple junction distribution on hydrogen diffusivity. We discover remarkable relationships between grain boundary connectivity and the effective diffusion coefficient by quantifying grain boundary networks in 2D idealized microstructures. In addition, greater diffusivity is reflected in nanocrystalline materials. Our results prove to reproduce GB connectivity paths by compelling the distribution. Furthermore, 2D reconstructed EBSD microstructures were simulated and compared to experimental data. Following that, 3D simulations of idealized microstructures were performed, and the effects of triple junction connectivity were investigated. We show that there is strong correlation between the connectivity of the triple junction and the effective diffusion coefficient, particularly in nanocrystalline materials. 3D simulations approach the experimental results more accurately as the impact of the connectivity of TJs is included
Sibrant, Aurore. "Evolution of the Graciosa, S. Miguel and Santa Maria volcanic islands : implications for the Nubia-Eurasia plate boundary in the Azores." Thesis, Paris 11, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA112303/document.
The Azores archipelago in the Atlantic comprises nine volcanic islands which developed on a thick oceanic plateau close to the Triple Junction between the North American (Na), the Nubian (Nu), and the Eurasian (Eu) lithospheric plates. The formation of the plateau and the origin of the volcanism remain controversial, but have been generally attributed to a plume-like mantle instability. However, the distribution of the volcanic edifices east of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) appears greatly influenced by regional deformation associated with the northward migration of the Eu/Nu plate boundary from an extinct old transform fault, the East Azores Fracture Zone (EAFZ), up to the presently active ultra-slow Terceira Rift (TR). In this thesis, we use the volcanism as a marker for regional deformation. We especially focus on S. Miguel and Graciosa, which are located within the TR, and on S. Maria, an old volcanically extinct island located between the EAFZ and the TR. These three islands thus constitute particularly suitable targets to track the architecture and the evolution of the Eu/Nu plate boundary during the last few Myr. From new geomorphological, stratigraphic, geochronologic, structural/tectonic data, and existing bathymetric and geophysical data, we reconstruct the successive stages of growth and destruction of the islands, and discuss their geodynamic meaning. These data are then complemented by fluid dynamic modelling using laboratory experiments to examine the possible links between mantle instability, plate boundary migration and the development of the volcanism on various spatial and temporal scales.The new results on the islands show that the edifices located within the TR grew through short (<100 kyr) and partly synchronous volcanic pulses, separated by catastrophic sector collapses. We propose that such evolution reflects brief and intense episodes of regional deformation along the still active Eu/Nu plate boundary. The distribution of tectonic markers and the recognition of N110 and N150 tectonic structures in eastern S. Miguel leads us to propose that oblique extension in the TR is mainly accommodated by the master faults of the rift, and that the TR is presently not the locus of appreciable sea-floor spreading. Furthermore, we identify a new N050 trend, which may represent transform faults accommodating the variation in obliquity of the TR. The activity of S. Maria is here dated between 5.7 and 2.8 Ma. Like the recent islands, S. Maria experienced catastrophic flank collapses, most probably triggered by regional tectonics. We identify a new graben structure linking Santa Maria to the island of S. Jorge further NW. The shape of this graben is similar to the TR and it is located between the EAFZ and the current plate boundary. We interpret this graben as a former transient rift, and therefore an old Eu/Nu plate boundary. From the new data, we propose that the eastern part of the transient rift migrated to the eastern part of the TR between 2.8 Ma and 1.7 Ma.The overall migration of the Eu/Nu plate boundary to the north and the creation of the Azores plateau has been interpreted by Vogt and Jung (2004) as resulting from successive NE jumps of the rift axis to maintain its position over a fixed ‘hotspot’. Our fluid mechanics experiments suggest that the Azores, as Canary, Cape Verde, Madeira Islands and Great Meteor seamounts might be the surface signature of a cluster of mantle instabilities rising from the top of a large thermochemical dome located in the lower mantle. However, such secondary plumes present a strong time-dependence 5-40 Myr time scale. Moreover, they could be sufficiently weak to adapt their motions to the pre-existing force balances and morphology of the lithosphere. We therefore present a scenario of the Azores area evolution combining a triple junction and decompression melting buoyant material (i.e. such in volatiles and/or temperature) under a thickening lithosphere
Stewart, Devin O. "Effects of Spacing and Geometry of Distributed Roughness Elements on a Two-Dimensional Turbulent Boundary Layer." Thesis, Virginia Tech, 2005. http://hdl.handle.net/10919/35481.
The data show that the flow over a rough wall is characterized by high levels of turbulence near the roughness element peaks at the interface between low-speed, near-wall fluid and the higher speed fluid above. Behind an element, high-momentum fluid sweeps toward the wall, and there is a small region of ejection of low-momentum fluid. Cylindrical elements typically have larger magnitudes of turbulent stresses at their peaks compared to Gaussian elements. Trends in mean velocity profile parameters such as displacement height, roughness effect, and wake parameter are examined with respect to roughness element geometry and spacing.

Wilhelm, Lukas. "A rigorous Landauer-Büttiker formula and its application to models of a quantum dot LED." Doctoral thesis, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Fakultät II, 2013. http://dx.doi.org/10.18452/16690.
This thesis treats the modeling of a quantum dot LED and the calculation of the electric current and the light production in the Landauer-Büttiker framework. The electron-photon interaction is fitted into the Landauer-Büttiker framework by assuming that every electron interacts with a separate photon field. It allows us to consider an electron together with its photon field as a ''single non-interacting particle'' in the sense of the Landauer-Büttiker formalism. We develop a model of a QD-LED with an electron-photon interaction that is based on the Jaynes-Cummings model, which describes the interaction of a quantum dot with a single mode of the electromagnetic field. To be able to analyze the energy distribution of the emitted photons, we propose a second model of a QD-LED that is based on a one-dimensional Pauli-Fierz model. It models photons of arbitrary positive energy instead of just a single mode, but we restrict it to the subspace of at most one photon. We prove an abstract Landauer-Büttiker formula that applies to all relatively trace class interactions. It is similar to the result by Aschbacher et al. (2007), but differs in the regularization of the flux. We apply this formula to the Jaynes-Cummings QD-LED. Since knowing of the scattering matrix is essential for explicit calculations with the Landauer-Büttiker formula, we generalize a result by Behrndt et al. (2010) on a representation of the scattering matrix in terms of the Weyl function of a boundary triplet from the finite rank case to relatively trace class perturbations, which covers the case of the Jaynes-Cummings QD-LED. The resolvent difference of the Pauli-Fierz QD-LED is not trace class, whence we prove a generalized Landauer-Büttiker formula for a certain multiplication operators that are trace class in the fiber. This abstract result gives us a Landauer-Büttiker formula also for the Pauli-Fierz QD-LED.

Noël, Emeline. "Simulation numérique directe d’écoulements à l’aide d’une méthode de frontière immergée." Thesis, Rouen, INSA, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012ISAM0020/document.
Since several years, the research conducted at the CORIA laboratory led to the development of a numerical tool (ARCHER) alllowing direct numerical simulations of two phase flows. In particular, the simulations of high speed liquid jet primary break-up have been strongly investigated. These simulations are able to capture primary break-up phenomena near the nozzle exit where experimental characterisations are difficult to conduct. These simulations need injection conditions tricky to gauge a priori, since they depend on the flow characteristics inside the nozzle. Moreover, some jets are highly sensitive to these injection conditions. Therefore, it becomes necessary to simulate the flow inside the nozzle to better understand this sensitive nature. The objective to simulate the whole atomization system guided the present work dedicated to the use of an immersed boundary method (IBM). Such an approach allows reproducing flows inside nozzles of arbitrary shape while keeping the original cartesian mesh valuable for numerical efficiency and accuracy. As a first step, the implementation of an IBM in ARCHER was carried out and tested on channels, pipes and uniform flows past a circular cylinder. An industrial application focused on the flow inside a triple disk compound injector. This work led to a refined description of the secondary flow origin in the discharge hole. In order to move towards the design of a numerical tool able to simulate the whole injection system, a coupling between IBM and the Ghost Fluid Method (GFM) has been found necessary. This allows accounting for two phase flows inside the nozzle where the dynamics of the triple line has to be considered. The bidimensional developments have been tested on drops released on walls. This version enabled to simulate flows inside channels with different ratios of length over diameter and the flow inside a convergent nozzle. The simultaneous computation of flows inside and outside nozzle has enabled to link the velocity fluctuations of internals flows to the surface setting-up gene-rated on external flows

Ramasamy, Devaraj. "Extension of electrochemically active sites in SOFCs and SOECs." Doctoral thesis, Universidade de Aveiro, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/10773/14813.
Solid oxide fuel (SOFCs) and electrolyzer (SOECs) cells have been promoted as promising technologies for the stabilization of fuel supply and usage in future green energy systems. SOFCs are devices that produce electricity by the oxidation of hydrogen or hydrocarbon fuels with high efficiency. Conversely, SOECs can offer the reverse reaction, where synthetic fuels can be generated by the input of renewable electricity. Due to this similar but inverse nature of SOFCs and SOECs, these devices have traditionally been constructed from comparable materials. Nonetheless, several limitations have hindered the entry of SOFCs and SOECs into the marketplace. One of the most debilitating is associated with chemical interreactions between cell components that can lead to poor longevities at high working temperatures and/or depleted electrochemcial performance. Normally such interreactions are countered by the introduction of thin, purely ionic conducting, buffer layers between the electrode and electrolyte interface. The objective of this thesis is to assess if possible improvements in electrode kinetics can also be obtained by modifying the transport properties of these buffer layers by the introduction of multivalent cations. The introduction of minor electronic conductivity in the surface of the electrolyte material has previously been shown to radically enhance the electrochemically active area for oxygen exchange, reducing polarization resistance losses. Hence, the current thesis aims to extend this knowledge to tailor a bi-functional buffer layer that can prevent chemical interreaction while also enhancing electrode kinetics.The thesis selects a typical scenario of an yttria stabilized zirconia electrolyte combined with a lanthanide containing oxygen electrode. Gadolinium, terbium and praseodymium doped cerium oxide materials have been investigated as potential buffer layers. The mixed ionic electronic conducting (MIEC) properties of the doped-cerium materials have been analyzed and collated. A detailed analysis is further presented of the impact of the buffer layers on the kinetics of the oxygen electrode in SOFC and SOEC devices. Special focus is made to assess for potential links between the transport properties of the buffer layer and subsequent electrode performance. The work also evaluates the electrochemical performance of different K2NiF4 structure cathodes deposited onto a peak performing Pr doped-cerium buffer layer, the influence of buffer layer thickness and the Pr content of the ceria buffer layer. It is shown that dramatic increases in electrode performance can be obtained by the introduction of MIEC buffer layers, where the best performances are shown to be offered by buffer layers of highest ambipolar conductivity. These buffer layers are also shown to continue to offer the bifunctional role to protect from unwanted chemical interactions at the electrode/electrolyte interface.
As pilhas de combustível e eletrolisadores de óxido sólido (PCOSs e EOSs) têm sido promovidas a tecnologias promissoras para estabelecer o abastecimento de combustível e sua utilização futura em sistemas de energia limpa. As PCOSs são dispositivos que produzem energia elétrica pela oxidação de combustíveis como o hidrogénio ou de hidrocarbonetos de elevada eficiência. Alternativamente, as EOSs funcionam de maneira inversa, na qual podem ser gerados combustíveis sintéticos ao fornecer energia eléctrica renovável ao sistema. É, pois, devido a esta natureza semelhante e ainda que inversa, que estes dispositivos têm sido tradicionalmente construídos a partir de materiais compatíveis. No entanto, a entrada no mercado destas tecnologias encontra-se ainda condicionada por diversos factores. Um dos mais limitantes, está associado a problemas de estabilidade química entre os constituintes da célula, que podem reduzir a longevidade a elevadas temperaturas de operação e/ou a um desempenho eletroquímico insuficiente. Normalmente, tais problemas de compatibilidade são minimizados pela introdução de uma camada de proteção muito fina constituída por um material condutor puramente iónico, na interface elétrodo/eletrólito. Deste modo, o objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar se modificando as propriedades de transporte destas camadas de proteção se pode conduzir ao aumento das propriedades de cinética do elétrodo, através da introdução de catiões polivalentes. A introdução de condutividade eletrónica menor na superfície do electrólito foi anteriormente relatada apresentando uma melhoria muito considerável das zonas eletroquimicamente activas para a permuta de oxigénio, reduzindo, desta forma, as perdas de resistência de polarização.Assim, esta dissertação tem por objetivo desenvolver este conhecimento para adaptar uma camada de proteção bifuncional que consiga evitar os problemas de interação química e ao mesmo tempo aumentar a cinética dos elétrodos. Esta dissertação apresenta um cenário típico de um eletrólito à base de zircónia estabilizada com ítrio combinado com um elétrodo de oxigénio contendo lantanídeos. Foram investigados como materiais de proteção, os sistemas de céria dopada com gadolínio, térbio e praseodímio. As propriedades inerentes à condução eletrónica e iónica mista (MIEC) dos materiais dopados foram analisadas e agrupadas. Posteriormente, foi realizada uma análise detalhada sobre o impacto das camadas de proteção na cinética do elétrodo de oxigénio em dispositivos PCOS e EOS. Foi dada especial atenção às potenciais relações entre as propriedades de transporte da camada proteção e subsequente desempenho do elétrodo. O trabalho também avalia o desempenho eletroquímico de cátodos de K2NiF4 com diferentes estruturas, depositadas sobre a camada de proteção que apresentou melhor desempenho, isto é, a céria dopada com praseodímio, assim como a influência da espessura da camada e da fração de Pr presente na céria. Demonstrou-se que a introdução de camadas de proteção à base de MIECs levou a um aumento drástico no desempenho do elétrodo, nomeadamente pelos MIECs de maior condutividade ambipolar. Estas camadas de proteção utlizadas provaram ser também eficazes em manter o papel de inibidores de interactividade química na interface elétrodo/eletrólito.

The present thesis deals with two different subjects. Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 concern interfaces evolution problems in the plane. In Chapter 1 I consider the evolution of a polycrystalline material with three (or more) phases, in presence of for an even crystalline anisotropy ϕo whose one-sublevel set Fϕ := {ϕo ≤ 1} (the Frank diagram) is a regular polygon of n sides. The dual function ϕ : R2 → R defined by ϕ(ξ) := sup{ξ ·η : ϕo(η) ≤ 1} is crystalline too and Wϕ := {ϕ ≤ 1} is called the Wulff shape. I am particularly interested in the motion by crystalline curvature of special planar networks called elementary triods, namely a regular three-phase boundary given by the union of three Lipschitz curves, the interfaces, intersecting at a point called triple junction. Each interface is the union of a segment of finite length and a half-line, reproducing two consecutive sides of Wϕ. I analyze local and global existence and stability of the flow. I prove that there exists, locally in time, a unique stable regular flow starting from a stable regular initial datum. I show that if n, the number of sides of Wϕ, is a multiple of 6 then the flow is global and converge to a homothetic flow as t → +∞. The analysis of the long time behavior requires the study of the stability. Stability is the ingredient that ensures that no additional segments develop at the triple junction during the flow. In general, the flow may become unstable at a finite time: if this occurs and none of the segments desappears, it is possible to construct a regular flow at subsequent times by adding an infinitesimal segment (or even an arc with zero crystalline curvature) at the triple junction. I also show that a segment may desappear. In such a case, the Cahn-Hoffman vector field Nmin has a jump discontinuity and the triple junction translates along the remaining adjacent half-line at subsequent times. Each of these flows has the property that all crystalline curvatures remain bounded (even if a segment appears or disappears). I want to stress that Taylor already predicted the appearance of new edges from a triple junction. I also consider the crystalline curvature flow starting from a stable ϕ-regular partition formed by two adjacent elementary triods. I discuss some examples of collapsing situations that lead to changes of topology, such as for instance the collision of two triple junctions. These examples (as well as the local in time existence result) show one of the advantages of crystalline flows with respect, for instance, to the usual mean curvature flow: explicit computations can be performed to some extent, and in case of nonuniqueness, a comparison between the energies of different evolutions (difficult in the euclidean case) can be made. In Chapter 2 we introduce, using the theory of S1-valued functions of bounded variations, a class of energy functionals defined on partitions and we produce, through the first variation, a new model for the evolution of interfaces which partially extends the one in Chapter 1 and which consists of a free boundary problem defined on S1-valued functions of bounded variation. This model is related to the evolution of polycrystals where the Wulff shape is allowed to rotate. Assuming the local existence of the flow, we show convexity preserving and embeddedness preserving properties. The second subject of the thesis is considered in Chapter 3 where we aim to extend the level set method to systems of PDEs. The method we propose is consistent with the previous research pursued by Evans for the heat equation and by Giga and Sato for Hamilton-Jacobi equations. Our approach follows a geometric construction related to the notion of barriers introduced by De Giorgi. The main idea is to force a comparison principle between manifolds of different codimension and require each sub-level of a solution of the level set equation to be a barrier for the graph of a solution of the corresponding system. We apply the method for a class of systems of first order quasi-linear equations. We compute the level set equation associated with suitable first order systems of conservation laws, with the mean curvature flow of a manifold of arbitrary codimension and with systems of reaction-diffusion equations. Finally, we provide a level set equation associated with the parametric curvature flow of planar curves.

Anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) have recently attracted significant attention as low-cost alternative fuel cells to traditional proton exchange membrane fuel cells as a result of the possible use of platinum-group metal-free electrocatalysts. Although AEMFC is a mimic of PEMFC but working in an alkaline medium, water management issues are more severe in AEMFC because ORR in alkaline media requires water, while at the same time water is produced at the anode side. To better understand water management in this type of fuel cell, it is necessary first to develop and gain experience with this kind of fuel cell on the laboratory scale. Since no ready-to-use materials are available at the beginning of the project, the necessity of fabricating homemade MEAs from commercially available materials becomes a reality that we must face. As MEA fabrication is a new topic to LEMTA's researchers, this is why this thesis was divided into two parts: one part dedicated to the formulation, preparation, and optimization of MEAs for PEMFC through physico-chemical and electrochemical characterizations; another part dedicated to the development of AEMFC. The results indicated that ink deposition, composition, and preparation systematically change the electrode structure and thus affect fuel cells performance. Furthermore, the study provides information on the AEMFC procedures and methods. Here, we would like to share our know-how with newcomers in the field of preparation of MEA in ion exchange membrane fuel cells

Deformation heterogeneity at the mesoscale plays a central role at understanding the Hall-Petch relationship, strain hardening, and recrystallization. This heterogeneity is not predicted by the classical theory of Taylor model in which the features of crystallographic texture are explained. In past, crystal plasticity finite-element (CPFEM) simulations were used in modeling polycrystalline plasticity by considering both compatibility of strain and stress at interfaces. However, the effects of the microstrcutre features, such as grain boundaries and triple junctions, are not still well established on plastic deformation. Therefore, the purpose of this investigation is to understand the interaction between microstructure and plane strain compression. In this study, experimental and numerical approaches are investigated on the influence of grain boundary and the triple junction during plane strain compression. In the experimental approaches, electron back scattering diffraction (EBSD) and Digital Image Correlation method (DIC) were used to characterize the orientation image mapping and the strain distribution, respectively. With the help of the orientation and strain mappings, the effects of grain boundary and triple junction during deformation can be compared with the results predicted from CPFEM. The results of the systematic analysis are able to contribute the further development of crystal plasticity including the microstructure influence.

In hierdie navorsingstuk word 'n totaal nuwe Radikale en gedifferensieerde Universumgerigte aanloop tot die teologie, die peumato/ogie en veral die ou klassieke pentekosta/isme se eng partikularistiese en sogenaamde unieke elitistiese geestesdoopmodel krities teologies-filosofies ondersoek. Hoewel die moderner neopentekostalistiese oftewel charismatiese weergawe van klassieke pentekostalisme aandag kry om as kriterium van vergelyking le dien, val die hoofklem op klassieke pentekosta/isme. Uiteraard kom die verskillende Geesdoopmodelle pertinent aan die orde. En in die lig hiervan poneer hierdie studie dan 'n kraaknuwe globalistiese Geesdoopmodel, genaamd die RGU-Geesdoopmodel wat dui op 'n Radikale en Gedifferensieerde Universumgerigte Geesdoopmodel. Hierdie nuwe RGU-Geesdoopmodel impliseer logiesgewys dan ook 'n radikale revolusionere paradigmatiese ommeswaai van en verandering in die ou klassieke Geesdoopperspektiewe. Noodwendig impliseer dit ook 'n grater oopspanning van die teologies-wetenskaplike navorsingspeelveld en die interverwante relasies daarvan met alle teologiese en nie-teologiese wetenskappe en bedrywe, met alle kerklike en nie-kerklike kaders, met alle religieuse en nie-religieuse kringe, asook met alle teoretiese en praksiologiese ingesteldhede. Gebiedsafbakening is dus ook gebiedend noodsaaklik en onontbeerlik. Die sentrifigale vernouing van die studieskopus hanteer dan uiteraard net die essensieile teologies-wysgerige en praksiologiese impakte, nie net op die ou klassieke pentekostalisme nie, maar ook op alle teologiee en alle filosofiee en alle wetenskappe, wat op 'n samehangende holisties-geintegreerde wyse universumgerig tot een groot globale geheel omskep word
In this research a totally new Radical and Differentiated Universal-directed approach to theology, pneumatologyand particularly the old classical pentecostalism's narrow particularistically and so called unique elitistic model of Spiritbatism is critically investigated on theological-philosophical levels. Though the moderner neo-pentecostalistic or rather charismatic rendering of classical pentecostalism receives attention to serve as criterion for comparison, the main focus is on classical pentecostalism. Naturally the different models of Spiritbaptism comes pertinently on the table. And in the light of this, our study propose a brand new globalistic model for Spiritbaptism, namely the RDU-Spiritbaptism-mode lwhich signifies a Radical and Differentiated Universal-directed model of Spiritbaptism. This new RDU-Spiritbaptism-model also logically implies a radical revolutionary paradigmshift and tum-about in the old classical Spiritbaptism perspectives. This inevitably also implies a widening of the theological-scientific field and the interrelatedness thereof with all theological and non-theological sciences and professions, with all ecclesiological and non-ecclesiological scopes, with all religious and non-religious circles, as well as all theoretical and praxiological inclinations. Confinement of territory is thus also imperatively essential and indispensable. The centrifical narrowing of the studyscope handles naturally only the essential theological-philosophical and praxiological impacts, not only on the old classical pentecostalism, but also on all theologies and all philosophies and all sciences which are all transformed in a coherent holistically interconnected fashion to one great universal whole
