M.S.
Streams that originate at higher elevations (defined as headwater streams) are important drinking water sources and deliver water and nutrients to maintain freshwater ecosystems. Groundwater is a major source of water to these streams, but little is known about how groundwater flows in these areas. Scientists delineate watersheds (areas of land that drain water to the same point) using surface topography. This approach works well for surface water, but not as well for groundwater, as groundwater may not flow in the same direction as surface water. Thus, assuming that the ground-watershed is the same as the surface watershed can lead to errors in hydrologic studies. To obtain more accurate information about groundwater flow in headwater areas, I continuously measured groundwater levels in forest soils at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in North Woodstock, NH. My main objective was to determine if there is variability in the direction and amount of groundwater flow. I also measured the characteristics of the soils to identify the thicknesses of soil units and the permeability of those units. I used these data to evaluate the relationship between groundwater flow direction, surface topography, and the permeability of soil units. Overall, I found that groundwater flow direction can differ significantly from surface topography, and groundwater flow direction was influenced by the groundwater levels. When groundwater levels were high (closer to the land surface), groundwater flow was generally in the same direction as surface topography. However, when groundwater levels were lower, flow direction typically followed the slope of the lowest permeability soil unit. These results suggest that scientists should not assume that groundwater flow follows the land surface topography and should directly measure groundwater levels to determine flow direction. In addition, results from this study show that characterizing soil permeability can help scientists make more accurate measurements of groundwater flow.

For deep storage of high-level nuclear waste osmotic flows can be significant and so require a careful analysis. In Belgium, The bituminized nuclear waste (BW) named Eurobitum contained in metallic drums will be placed inside a tunnel or a shaft excavated in the Boom Clay, which is 100 m thick marine clay presenting favourable properties to limit and delay the migration of the leached radionuclides over extended periods of time. In Geological disposal conditions, contact of the bituminized radioactive waste which contains high amounts of highly soluble salt (NaNO3) with groundwater will result in water uptake and swelling of the waste and in subsequent diffusion of the dissolved salt through the host clay formation. Basically, two types of disturbance can be distinguished: A geo-mechanical perturbation, caused by the swelling of the waste and the increase of the pressure in and around the waste and a physico-chemical perturbation by the release of large amounts of NaNO3 and other soluble salts. In this context the aim of this thesis is: (i) to improve the understanding of the processes controlling the water uptake and the subsequent swelling of bituminized waste containing soluble salts (NaNO3), and (ii) to investigate of the possible effects of the increase of pore fluid concentration on swelling, compressibility and shear behaviour of Boom Clay. A formulation has been proposed for the analysis of deformation induced by dissolution of salts in porous media in contact with water. The equations include the effect of coupled transport phenomena and the formulation has been included as an extension in the coupled THM program CODE_BRIGHT. A theoretical and experimental work aiming at understanding the mechanical behaviour of the Bituminized Waste has been presented.This material is considered for this purpose as a mixture of bitumen and crystals of NaNO3. An elasto-viscoplastic model has been developed that describes the creep behaviour of BW considering the constituents' creep behaviour. The elasto-viscoplastic constitutive model has been implemented into CODE_BRIGHT. The modelling results have been compared with the experimental data. The impact of osmotic forces on the swelling of the material has been investigated by simulating water uptake swelling tests under confined conditions and comparing the predictions with experimental results. The numerical analysis has proven to be able to furnish a satisfactory representation of the main observed patterns of the behaviour. In regard to the second objective of this thesis, a formulation has been proposed for the analysis of deformations induced by osmotic processes in double structure porous media. The formulation is based on the distinction within the material of a microstructural and a macrostructural levels with chemical changes having a significant effect on the microstructure. A macroscopic description of the system is provided. Then the basic equations describing coupled flows of water and solutes and the transport of its components through macropores and mass balance equations for water and solute in macro and micro pores have been obtained. The proposed formulation has been particularly applied to analyze qualitatively the effect of osmotic suction on swelling of clayey soils. Transient and long term effects have been analyzed. The influence of pore fluid concentration on the geotechnical properties and behavior of Boom Clay under partially saturated conditions has been investigated. A systematic experimental research program involving osmotic suction and matric suction controlled experiments has been carried to investigate the effect of the increase of pore fluid concentration on shear strength and on the volume change behaviour under odometer stress state conditions. It has been observed that under partially saturated conditions a change in salinity causes a decrease in compressibility and shear strength.

We study the global and asymptotic geometry of non-compact Riemannian manifolds. First, we study the topology and geometry at infinity of Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative (Ricci) curvature and finite asymptotic curvature ratio. We focus on the non-collapsed case with the help of asymptotic cones and we give sufficient conditions on the fundamental group to guarantee non-collapsing. The second part is dedicated to the study of (non-negatively curved) Type III Ricci flow solutions. We mainly analyze the asymptotic geometry of Type III self-similar solutions (expanding gradient Ricci soliton) with finite asymptotic curvature ratio. We prove the existence and uniqueness of their asymptotic cones. We also give algebraic and geometric sufficient conditions to guarantee rotational symmetry of such metrics. In the last part, we characterize the geometry of steady gradient Ricci solitons with nonnegative sectional curvature and linear volume growth. Finally, we study the non-collapsing of three dimensional Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature and finite asymptotic curvature ratio

Elbar, Charles. "Étude mathématique d’équations de type Cahn-Hilliard dégénérées." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Sorbonne université, 2024. http://www.theses.fr/2024SORUS053.
We study Cahn-Hilliard type equations, an equation that was introduced to describe phase separation in multi-component systems. The results obtained in this work have been motivated by biological applications, such as tissue formation and tumor growth, as well as physical applications, such as fluid flows involving surface tension phenomena. The first part of this thesis is an analysis of the relationship between the Cahn-Hilliard equation and the Hele-Shaw models, which are frequently used to model fluid flow or the evolution of cancerous tumors in confined spaces. In particular, we examine how to obtain Hele-Shaw models in the so-called incompressible limit of the Cahn-Hilliard equation. The second part of the thesis focuses on the study of the non-local Cahn-Hilliard equation (and its variations) and its convergence to the local equation. This equation, which can be derived rigorously from a system of interacting particles, is obtained by replacing the Laplacian, which is a local term, by a non-local approximation taking into account the long range interactions between the components. We show that the solution of the non-local equation converges to the solution of the local equation in the short range interaction limit. The third part of the thesis focuses on the study of more classical fluid models, such as the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations, which incorporate surface tension phenomena. These models are used to describe fluid flows or cell motions in which interfacial forces play an important role. The fourth part juxtaposes kinetic theory, traditionally used to represent physical phenomena on a mesoscopic scale, with the Cahn-Hilliard equation. Our study focuses specifically on the Vlasov-Cahn-Hilliard equation, which describes phase transition processes

This thesis presents the study and analysis of rarefied gas flows induced by thermal transpiration. Thermal transpiration refers to the macroscopic movement of rarefied gas generated by a temperature gradient. The main aspect of this work is centered around the measurement of the mass flow rate engendered by subjecting a micro-tube to a temperature gradient along its axis. In this respect, an original experimental apparatus and an original time-dependent experimental methodology was developed. The experimental results for the initial stationary thermal transpiration mass flow rate and for the final zero- flow thermal molecular parameters were compared with the results obtained from the numerical solution of the Shakhov model kinetic equation and the direct simulation Monte Carlo method

The objective of this thesis is to develop models and algorithms to simulate efficiently the mass exchanges occurring at the interface between the nuclear waste deep geological repositories and the ventilation excavated galleries. To model such physical processes, one needs to account in the porous medium for the flow of the liquid and gas phases including the vaporization of the water component in the gas phase and the dissolution of the gaseous components in the liquid phase. In the free flow region, a single phase gas free flow is considered assuming that the liquid phase is instantaneously vaporized at the interface. This gas free flow has to be compositional to account for the change of the relative humidity in the free flow region which has a strong feedback on the liquid flow rate at the interface

This thesis investigates the modelling of Darcy flow through fractured porous media and its discretization on general polyhedral meshes. We follow the approach of hybrid dimensional models, invoking a complex network of planar fractures. The models account for matrix-fracture interactions and fractures acting either as drains or as barriers, i.e. we have to deal with pressure discontinuities at matrix-fracture interfaces. In the case of two phase flow, we present two models, which permit to treat gravity dominated flow as well as discontinuous capillary pressure at the material interfaces. The numerical analysis is performed in the general framework of the Gradient Discretisation Method, which is extended to the models under consideration. Two families of schemes namely the Vertex Approximate Gradient scheme (VAG) and the Hybrid Finite Volume scheme (HFV) are detailed and shown to fit in the gradient scheme framework, which yields, in particular, convergence. For single phase flow, we obtain convergence of order 1 via density results. For two phase flow, the existence of a solution is obtained as a byproduct of the convergence analysis. Several test cases are presented. For single phase flow, we study the convergence on different types of meshes for a family of solutions. For two phase flow, we compare the hybrid-dimensional models to the reference equidimensional model, in which fractures have the same dimension as the matrix. This does not only provide quantitative evidence about computational gain, but also leads to deep insight about the quality of the proposed reduced models

[ES] Esta Tesis se centra en el desarrollo e implementación de métodos numéricos eficientes para el diseño y modelado de componentes de la línea de escape en motores de combustión interna. Merecen especial atención los silenciadores disipativos perforados de automóviles, ya que su comportamiento acústico puede sufrir variaciones importantes debidas a las variaciones de temperatura en el material absorbente, así como a las heterogeneidades de la fibra. Por tanto, se requieren técnicas numéricas que consideren estos casos para garantizar la precisión de los resultados. Se lleva a cabo una revisión bibliográfica que recoge los modelos de onda unidimensionales, así como modelos acústicos de materiales absorbentes y superficies perforadas. Sin embargo, las limitaciones de los primeros hacen indispensable el uso de modelos multidimensionales. Además se explora la posibilidad de usar nuevos elementos acústicos, cuyo objetivo es ser una alternativa potencial a los materiales absorbentes, que pueden tener un efecto negativo sobre la salud. La Tesis considera el uso de superficies microperforadas y sinterizadas. Estas últimas en algunos casos presentan una impedancia casi constante, cuyo valor depende, entre otras cosas, del espesor y la porosidad de las placas. Para evitar las limitaciones de los modelos de onda plana, se propone un enfoque en elementos finitos (EF) para el análisis acústico de silenciadores disipativos que incluyen un conducto con flujo medio axial uniforme y una cámara externa con una distribución heterogénea de material absorbente. Por otro lado, la variación de las propiedades también puede producirse por gradientes térmicos. En este caso, se propone una formulación híbrida de EF para silenciadores disipativos perforados que incluye: (1) Gradientes térmicos en el conducto central y la cámara; (2) Un conducto perforado que canaliza flujo medio axial no uniforme. Se ha implementado una formulación de EF para resolver la ecuación de ondas en términos de presión para el medio estacionario heterogéneo asociado a la cámara. Además, la ecuación asociada al conducto central, expresada en términos de potencial de velocidad acústica, permite la presencia de flujo axial no uniforme. El acoplamiento entre ambas regiones se ha realizado mediante un conducto perforado y su impedancia acústica y se ha adaptado para incluir la citada falta de homogeneidad. Se ha visto que las heterogeneidades pueden influir notablemente en la atenuación acústica de un silenciador, debiéndose incluir en los modelos teóricos. Las técnicas de optimización para componentes industriales de control de ruido son importantes, ya que producen elementos con mejores características. Los algoritmos evolutivos son técnicas emergentes capaces de obtener una solución, incluso cuando la optimización tradicional tiene dificultades. Las técnicas de optimización se combinan con el MEF para conseguir la máxima atenuación posible en el rango de frecuencias de interés. Se ha definido un problema de optimización de un silenciador multicámara y se han llevado a cabo varios análisis para obtener la configuración más adecuada para cada caso. Bajo ciertas hipótesis de uniformidad axial, se han considerado varias técnicas para reducir el coste computacional de un análisis 3D completo para silenciadores disipativos con gradientes de temperatura y flujo medio. Éstas se basan en la descomposición del campo acústico en modos axiales y transversales dentro de cada subdominio, y un procedimiento de acoplamiento de las expansiones modales en los cambios de sección del silenciador mediante las condiciones de continuidad de los campos acústicos. Se estudia la eficiencia computacional y precisión de las predicciones de las técnicas de acoplamiento, incluyendo colocación puntual en nodos y puntos de Gauss, así como ajuste modal. Todos ellos proporcionan predicciones precisas de la atenuación mejorando el coste

Mereixen especial atenció els silenciadors dissipatius perforats d'automòbils, ja que el seu comportament acústic pot patir variacions importants degudes a les variacions de temperatura en el material absorbent, així com a les heterogeneïtats de la fibra. Per tant, es requereixen tècniques numèriques que considerin aquests casos per garantir la precisió dels resultats. Es porta a terme una revisió bibliogràfica que recull els models d'ona unidimensionals, així com models acústics de materials absorbents i superfícies perforades. No obstant això, les limitacions dels primers fan indispensable l'ús de models multidimensionals. A més s'explora la possibilitat d'usar nous elements acústics amb l'objectiu que siguen una alternativa potencial als materials absorbents, que poden tenir un efecte negatiu sobre la salut. La Tesi considera l'ús de superfícies microperforades i sinteritzades. Aquestes últimes en alguns casos presenten una impedància gairebé constant. El seu valor depèn, entre altres coses, del gruix i la porositat de les plaques. Per evitar les limitacions dels models d'ona plana, es proposa un enfocament amb elements finits (EF) per a l'anàlisi acústic de silenciadors dissipatius que inclouen un conducte amb flux mig axial uniforme i una càmera externa amb una distribució heterogènia de material absorbent. D'altra banda, la variació de les propietats també es pot produir per gradients tèrmics. En aquest cas, es proposa una formulació híbrida d'EF per silenciadors dissipatius perforats que inclou: (1) Gradients tèrmics en el conducte central i la càmera; (2) Un conducte perforat que canalitza flux mig axial no uniforme. S'ha implementat una formulació d'EF per resoldre l'equació d'ones en termes de pressió per al medi estacionari heterogeni associat a la càmera. A més, l'equació associada al conducte central, expressada en termes de potencial de velocitat acústica, permet la presència de flux axial no uniforme. L'acoblament entre les dues regions s'ha realitzat mitjançant un conducte perforat i la seva impedància acústica i s'ha adaptat per incloure la esmentada falta d'homogeneïtat. S'ha vist que les heterogeneïtats poden influir notablement en l'atenuació acústica d'un silenciador i s'han d'incloure en els models teòrics. Les tècniques d'optimització per a components industrials de control de soroll són importants, ja que produeixen elements amb millors característiques. Els algoritmes evolutius són tècniques emergents capaces d'obtenir una solució, fins i tot quan l'optimització tradicional té dificultats. Les tècniques d'optimització es combinen amb el mètode d'elements finits (MEF) per aconseguir la màxima atenuació possible en el rang de freqüències d'interès.

Sota certes hipòtesis d'uniformitat axial, s'han considerat diverses tècniques per reduir el cost computacional d'una anàlisi 3D complet per silenciadors dissipatius amb gradients de temperatura i flux mig. Aquestes es basen en la descomposició del camp acústic en modes axials i transversals dins de cada subdomini, i un procediment d'acoblament de les expansions modals en els canvis de secció del silenciador mitjançant les condicions de continuïtat dels camps acústics. S'estudia l'eficiència computacional i precisió de les prediccions de les tècniques d'acoblament, incloent col·locació puntual en nodes i punts de Gauss, així com ajust modal. Tots ells proporcionen prediccions precises de l'atenuació millorant el cost computacional d'EF.

La estenosis aórtica es la enfermedad valvular más frecuente en el tercer mundo. La historia natural de la enfermedad es bien conocida desde hace décadas, siendo una enfermedad con mal pronóstico a medio-corto plazo que hace necesario someter a estos pacientes a recambio valvular aórtico tras la aparición de síntomas. La forma mas común de estenosis aórtica, con flujo normal y gradiente alto, tiene un pronóstico excelente tras el recambio valvular aórtico, con una supervivencia similar a la de la población normal. Sin embargo, la estenosis aórtica de bajo-flujo y bajo-gradiente, es una entidad menos conocida y de peor pronóstico. Estos pacientes tienen una mortalidad mucho mayor tras recambio valvular aórtico y menor supervivencia a largo plazo. El diagnóstico en el bajo-flujo bajo-gradiente es vital para seleccionar correctamente los pacientes con estenosis aórtica que se beneficiarán de tratamiento quirúrgico, teniendo también valor pronóstico, dependiendo de la categoría de bajo flujo (Clásica o Paradójica) y otros determinantes como la presencia/ausencia de reserva contráctil del ventrículo izquierdo. Nuestra hipótesis fue que la estenosis aórtica de bajo-flujo y bajo-gradiente, pueden ser tratada con recambio valvular aórtico con una mortalidad hospitalaria similar a aquellos con flujo normal y alto gradiente. Los objetivos del proyecto fueron el análisis de resultados hospitalarios y a medio plazo (mortalidad hospitalaria, a 1 y 5 años) así como la clase funcional y recuperación de la función ventricular, en pacientes con estenosis aórtica de bajo-flujo bajo-gradiente sometidos a recambio valvular aórtico comparado con flujo normal alto-gradiente. Nuestros resultados nos llevan a la conclusión de que el recambio valvular aórtico en pacientes con estenosis aórtica de bajo-flujo bajo-gradiente se puede lograr con baja mortalidad quirúrgica, comparable con pacientes con flujo normal y alto gradiente. A pesar de que tener una mayor mortalidad a medio-plazo, los supervivientes exhiben una excelente clase funcional y desaparición de síntomas, que apoyan la indicación quirúrgica en estos pacientes.

The multiphase flow occurrence in the oil and gas industry is common throughout fluid path, production, transportation and refining. The multiphase flow is defined as flow simultaneously composed of two or more phases with different properties and immiscible. An important computational tool for the design, planning and optimization production systems is multiphase flow simulation in pipelines and porous media, usually made by multiphase flow commercial simulators. The main purpose of the multiphase flow simulators is predicting pressure and temperature at any point at the production system. This work proposes the development of a multiphase flow simulator able to predict the dynamic pressure and temperature gradient in vertical, directional and horizontal wells. The prediction of pressure and temperature profiles was made by numerical integration using marching algorithm with empirical correlations and mechanistic model to predict pressure gradient. The development of this tool involved set of routines implemented through software programming Embarcadero C++ Builder? 2010 version, which allowed the creation of executable file compatible with Microsoft Windows? operating systems. The simulator validation was conduct by computational experiments and comparison the results with the PIPESIM?. In general, the developed simulator achieved excellent results compared with those obtained by PIPESIM and can be used as a tool to assist production systems development
Na ind?stria do petr?leo a ocorr?ncia de escoamento multif?sico ? comum em todo o percurso dos fluidos, durante a produ??o, transporte e refino. O escoamento multif?sico ? definido como o escoamento simult?neo composto por duas ou mais fases com propriedades diferentes e imisc?veis. Uma importante ferramenta computacional para o dimensionamento, planejamento e otimiza??o de sistemas de produ??o ? a simula??o de escoamento multif?sico em dutos e meios porosos, normalmente, feita por simuladores comerciais. O objetivo b?sico desses simuladores ? prever a press?o e temperatura em diferentes pontos do sistema de produ??o. Este trabalho prop?e o desenvolvimento de um simulador de escoamento multif?sico em po?os verticais, direcionais e horizontais, capaz de determinar o gradiente din?mico de press?o e temperatura. A determina??o dos perfis de press?o e de temperatura foi feita por meio de integra??o num?rica utilizando o algoritmo de marcha com correla??es emp?ricas e modelo mecanicista para determinar o gradiente de press?o. O desenvolvimento do simulador envolveu o conjunto de rotinas implementadas atrav?s do software de programa??o Embarcadero C++ Builder? vers?o 2010, que permitiu a cria??o de arquivo execut?vel compat?vel com os sistemas operacionais da Microsoft Windows?. A valida??o do simulador foi conduzida por experimentos computacionais e compara??o dos resultados com o simulador de uso comercial PIPESIM?. De modo geral, o simulador desenvolvido alcan?ou excelentes resultados quando comparado com os obtidos pelo PIPESIM, podendo ser utilizado como ferramenta para auxiliar no desenvolvimento de sistemas de produ??o

The interest in two-phase liquid-liquid flow has increased recently mainly due to the petroleum industry where oil and water are often produced and transported together for long distances and the significant frictional pressure gradient involved. Liquid-liquid flows are present in a wide range of industrial processes; however, they have not been studied as intensively as gas-liquid flows. Drag reduction phenomenon in oil-water flows without the addition of any drag reduction agent has been detected in previous works, but the physics behind the phenomenon is yet not well understood. The aim of the research was to study the dispersed oil-water flow pattern in a horizontal pipe in order to better understand the phenomenon and the obtaining of new experimental data of oil-water dispersed flows. Important issues related to oil-water pipe flow were investigated: pressure drop, volume fraction and flow patterns. Phase distribution and holdup data were obtained by a new wire-mesh sensor based on capacitance (permittivity) measurements. A high-speed video camera and the Quick-Closing-Valves technique were used to compare and validate the signals of the wire-mesh sensor. A simplified mathematical model was proposed to explain the drag reduction phenomenon in the oil-water dispersed flow studied. The model suggests that the presence of a thin water film between the homogenously dispersed flow and the pipe wall could explain the observed decreases of the two-phase pressure gradient.
