Wang, Di. "What controls the 3D distribution of water vapor isotopic composition in East Asia?" Electronic Thesis or Diss., Sorbonne université, 2023. https://accesdistant.sorbonne-universite.fr/login?url=https://theses-intra.sorbonne-universite.fr/2023SORUS567.pdf.
Full textUnlike polar ice core records, the isotope variations in Tibetan ice cores challenge the interpretation of temperature signals. One of the main reasons is that in monsoon regions at low and middle latitudes, water isotopes are influenced by convective and cloud processes. A deeper understanding of water isotope behavior and the dynamical controls involved in moisture transpiration and convection is needed. Large-scale in-situ observations and vertical profiles of vapor isotopes during convection would be helpful. However, such data are rare. The aim of this thesis was to document horizontal, vertical, and temporal variations in the isotopic composition of water in East Asian monsoon region. First, to document the horizontal and seasonal variations of water isotopes near the surface across China, we made in-situ observations of near-surface vapor isotopes over a large region (over 10000 km) across China in both pre-monsoon and monsoon seasons, using a newly-designed vehicle-based vapor isotope monitoring system. We found that the observed spatial variations of vapor δ18O are mainly controlled by Rayleigh distillation along air mass trajectories during the pre-monsoon period, but are significantly influenced by different moisture sources, continental recycling processes, and convection along moisture transport during the monsoon period. These results provide an overview of the spatial distribution and seasonal variability of water isotopic composition in East Asia and their controlling factors and emphasize the need to interpret proxy records in the context of the regional system and moisture sources. Second, to better understand the physical processes that control the vertical distribution of vapor isotopes and its intra-seasonal and seasonal variability, we observed the vertical profiles of atmosphere vapor isotopes up to the upper troposphere (from the ground surface at 3856m up to 11000m a.s.l.) from June to October in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau using a specially-designed unmanned-aerial-vehicle (UAV) system. For the sampling, we chose to carry air bags on UAVs as a portable sampling device, but encountered the permeability problem commonly associated with these bags. To corrected for this problem, we developed a diffusion model with diffusion parameters calibrated through laboratory experiments. This allows us to document for the first time the vertical distribution of atmospheric water vapor isotopes across the entire monsoon period up to the upper troposphere, boasting an unprecedented vertical resolution and altitude range. We find that the vertical profiles of water vapor isotopic composition reflect a combination of large-scale processes, in particular deep convection and continental recycling along trajectories, and local convective processes, in particular convective detrainment, and sublimation of ice crystals. The observed seasonal and intra-seasonal variations are generally vertically coherent, due to the strong vertical convective mixing and local convective detrainment of vapor originating from the low levels, and are mainly due to deep convection along trajectories

Full textThe detailed characterization of ice cloud microphysics is key to understand their role in theEarth’s hydrological cycle and radiation budget. The developement of atmospheric models and remote sensingalgorithms relies on parametrisations derived from in situ measurements. These measurements are also usedby the aviation industry to handle the problem of ice crystal icing. This PhD work presents an analysis of themass and size properties of ice crystals observed in high ice water content areas embedded in tropical mesoscaleconvective systems (MCS) during two airborne field campaigns of the HAIC-HIWC international project.A new approach is developped to derive mass-size relationships (m - D) from size distributions and icewater contents. The retrieval is formulated as an inverse problem which waives the power law constraint, aclassical assumption that proves to be an oversimplification when applied to heterogeneous populations of iceparticules typical of MCS anvils.The horizontal variability of size distributions and the aging of MCS anvils is described in terms of microphysicalprocesses. The importance of the aggregation growth process is emphasized as it efficiently removessmall ice particles brought into the upper troposphere by deep convection and significantly contributes to theformation of large agregates, precusor of the stratiform precipitations. The analysis of mass properties revealsthat distinctive microphysical regimes may be identified from the m-D relationship retrieved in various conditions.It paves the way toward a statistical model of the effective density of ice particles as a function of environmentalparameters

Full textMixing systems are usually difficult to understand, because there is a lack of knowledge concerning dynamic laws ruling these operations. Thus, nowadays, several tests are needed to predict properly the homogeneity of a powder mix. Throughout this PhD work, a method is developed to build predictive models for powder mixers and to bring out possible invariants for scale switching on these processes. Thus the stirring of powders is studied using different flow resistances within a 48L capacity Triaxe®, a convective planetary mixer. Rheological properties measurements are done at labscale (FT4 rheometer, volumenometer) for a better understanding of powder behavior at a wider mixer scale. A prototype blender has been built for this work. This polyvalent device, made of four blades and of a transparent vessel, allows to observe flow regimes and mechanisms, and to do rheological measurements. Two flow regimes have been identified (rolling, cataracting) and three flow mechanisms (convection, diffusion and avalanching). These mechanisms allowed to do stochastic modelling, for which parameters have been evaluated with experiments for free-flowing and cohesive powders

Full textThe following approach was used to investigate this proposal: first,
experimental fluid residence time distributions were obtained t over a range of
operating conditions, using an industrial pilot plant thin -film processor. The
experimental data were used to select an appropriate linear fluid flow model for
the process. The model parameters were evaluated over this range using
frequency response techniques. These models were subsequently incorporated
into a numerical heat transfer simulation of the thin -film processor. Careful
matching of the pilot plant transient temperature responses to those predicted
by the simulation yielded the sought after intrinsic (dispersion corrected) heat
transfer film coefficients for the processor.

Full textThe thesis is devoted to understanding dynamical influence of diabatic effects, like moist convection, on instabilities of vortices in Earth and planetary atmospheres. A vertically integrated atmospheric model with relaxational parameterisation of phase transitions and related heat release, and with convective fluxes included in mass and momentum equations, the moist-convective rotating shallow water model, was used for this purpose. The previous version of the model was improved to include precipitable water and its vaporisation and entrainment. The approach consists in 1)detailed stability analysis of idealised, or extracted from the data, vortex profiles, 2)study of nonlinear saturation of the instabilities with the help of finite-volume high-resolution numerical code. The main results of the thesis are: 1. Demonstration and quantification of strong influence of moist effects upon instabilities of synoptic vortices, including cyclone-anticyclone asymmetry of mid-latitude vortices of weak intensity, and intensification of tropical-cyclone like vortices with formation of typical cloud patterns. 2. Explanation of the dynamical origin of the Saturn's North Polar hexagon, and of the lack of similar structure at the South Pole, in terms of instability of the coupled polar vortex and circumpolar jet, and their nonlinear saturation.3. Explanation of the observed structure of Mars' winter polar vortex in terms of instability of the latter, and its saturation in the presence of radiative heating/cooling and CO2 deposition (gas-solid phase transition). A new simple parameterisation of the latter process, including the influence of deposition nuclei, was developed in the thesis

Full textEste trabalho tem como objetivo estudar as influências frontais sobre a Região Nordeste do Brasil. Procurando-se encontrar quais fatores são responsáveis pela formação de processos convectivos sobre esta Região, organizados pela extremidade frontal sobre o Atlântico Tropical Sul (ATS). Buscando-se, dessa forma, estabelecer um padrão de circulação para esses casos, o que poderá facilitar a previsão desses eventos. Assim, foi realizada a análise de 103 eventos de sistemas frontais, que influenciaram as condições de tempo sobre a Região Nordeste do Brasil, para o período de dez anos (2000-2009). Os casos foram divididos em dois grupos (G), de acordo com desenvolvimento ou não da convecção. G1- atividades convectivas sobre a região Nordeste do Brasil, organizadas pela extremidade frontal sobre o Atlântico Tropical Sul (ATS); G2 - banda de nebulosidade pouco ativa sobre a Região Nordeste do Brasil, organizada pela extremidade frontal, sobre o ATS. As frentes foram identificadas, utilizando-se métodos sinóticos clássicos e imagens de satélite. Foram utilizados dados de reanálise do modelo global do NCEP/NCAR, imagens de satélite do canal infravermelho e dados de radiossondagens. Após uma comparação entre os dois grupos foram definidos oito fatores dinâmicos (F) que influenciaram na formação de atividades convectivas associadas à extremidade frontal. Sendo esses fatores em baixos níveis: F1 Zona de Convergência Intertropical (ZCIT); F2 fluxo bifurcado sobre o Atlântico e convergência sobre o Nordeste; F3 borda oeste da Alta Subtropical do Atlântico Sul (ASAS). Em níveis médios: F4 convergência e cavado sobre o NEB; F5 cavado com eixo NW-SE; F6 cavado ciclone do HN. Em altos níveis: F7 cavado em 200 hPa; F8 Interação entre a AB e o VCAN. Foram analisados perfis termodinâmicos SkewT-LogP e os índices de instabilidade CAPE, K, TT e LI para avaliar o potencial de desenvolvimento convectivo sobre o NEB, para os eventos do G1 e G2. Durante o período de estudo foram verificados 68 casos do G1 e 35 casos do G2. Os casos do G1 foram encontrados durante todas as estações do ano, porém de forma muito mais frequente durante o verão austral e, muito raro durante o inverno, com apenas um caso. Em 11 oportunidades, esses casos estiveram relacionados com eventos de ZCAS. Os eventos do G2 foram mais frequentes durante o inverno austral e não foram observados durante o verão austral. Os fatores (F) para níveis inferiores foram encontrados com frequências semelhantes sendo que F1, F2 e F3 estiveram presentes respectivamente em 45, 50 e 43% dos casos estudados. Para níveis médios, o fator mais frequente foi o F4, presente em cerca de 60% dos casos. Para altos níveis, em 75% dos casos foi encontrada a interação entre a AB e o VCAN (F8). Com isso temos como padrões de circulação em maior frequência as interações F1/F4/F8; F2/F4/F8 e F3/F4/F8, em 25, 22 e 25%, respectivamente. A análise termodinâmica mostrou padrões semelhantes para os casos do G1 e do G2. Os índices de instabilidade CAPE e LI mostraram um forte potencial convectivo (com valores de CAPE acima de 1500 J/Kg) em 88% dos casos do G1 e 63% dos casos do G2, para 12 horas anteriores a atuação da zona frontal sobre o nordeste. Os índices K e TT não mostraram potencial convectivo para a quase totalidade dos casos do G1 e G2. Portanto, os processos convectivos organizados pela extremidade frontal ocorrem preferencialmente quando se tem confluência em níveis médios, e forte difluência em altos níveis. Tendo em níveis baixos convergência no escoamento e/ou atuação conjunta ao sistema frontal da ZCIT. A avaliação somente de índices de instabilidade não se mostrou eficiente para determinar os processos convectivos associados à zona frontal. Sendo os mecanismos dinâmicos preponderantes para o desenvolvimento desses processos.

Full textDans ce contexte, le but de notre thèse a été d'étudier de manière théorique et sur des modèles réaction-diffusion-convection simples les propriétés de dynamiques spatio-temporelles résultant du couplage chimie-hydrodynamique.
Nous nous sommes focalisés sur les instabilités hydrodynamiques de digitation visqueuse et de densité qui apparaissent respectivement lorsqu'un fluide dense est placé au-dessus d'un fluide moins dense dans le champ de gravité et lorsqu'un fluide visqueux est déplacé par un fluide moins visqueux dans un milieu poreux.
En particulier, nous avons étudié les problèmes suivants:
- L'influence d'une réaction chimique de type A + B → C sur la digitation visqueuse. Nous avons montré que les structures formées lors de cette instabilité varient selon que le réactif A est injecté dans le réactif B ou vice-versa si ces réactifs n'ont pas un coefficient de diffusion ou une concentration initiale identiques.
- Le rôle de pertes de chaleur par les parois du réacteur dans le cadre de la digitation de densité de fronts autocatalytiques exothermiques. Nous avons caractérisé les conditions de stabilité de fronts en fonction des pertes de chaleur et expliqué l'apparition de zones anormalement chaudes lors de cette instabilité.
- L'influence de l'inhomogénéité du milieu sur la digitation de densité de solutions réactives ou non. Nous avons montré que les variations spatiales de perméabilité d'un milieu poreux peuvent figer ou faire osciller la structure de digitation dans certaines conditions.
- L'influence d'un champ électrique transverse sur l'instabilité diffusive et la digitation de densité de fronts autocatalytiques. Il a été montré que cette interaction peut donner lieu à des nouvelles structures et changer les propriétés du front.
En conclusion, nous avons montré que le couplage entre réactions chimiques et mouvements hydrodynamiques est capable de générer de nouvelles structures spatio-temporelles dont les propriétés dépendent entre autres des conditions imposées au système.

In industrial reactors or in nature, fluid flows can be coupled to chemical reactions. In many cases, the result is the emergence of complex structures whose properties depend among others on the geometry of the system.
In this context, the purpose of our thesis was to study theoretically using simple models of reaction-diffusion-convection, the properties of dynamics resulting from the coupling between chemistry and hydrodynamics.
We focused on the hydrodynamic instabilities of viscous and density fingering that occur respectively when a dense fluid is placed above a less dense one in the gravity field and when a viscous fluid is displaced by a less viscous fluid in a porous medium.
In particular, we studied the following issues:
- The influence of a chemical reaction type A + B → C on viscous fingering. We have shown that the fingering patterns observed during this instability depends on whether the reactant A is injected into the reactant B or vice versa if they do not have identical diffusion coefficients or initial concentrations.
- The role of heat losses through the reactor walls on the density fingering of exothermic autocatalytic fronts. We have characterized the conditions of stability of fronts depending on heat losses and explained the appearance of unusually hot areas during this instability.
- The influence of the inhomogeneity of the medium on the density fingering of reactive solutions or not. We have shown that spatial variations of permeability of a porous medium may freeze or generate oscillating fingering pattern under certain conditions.
- The influence of a transverse electric field on the Rayleigh-Taylor and diffusive instabilities of autocatalytic fronts. It was shown that this interaction may lead to new structures and may change the properties of the front.
In conclusion, we showed that the coupling between chemical reactions and hydrodynamic motions can generate new space-time structures whose properties depend among others, on the conditions imposed on the system.

Full textAmazonian convective systems have unique microphysical characteristics, varying from a maritime convective behavior (rainy season) to a continental behavior (wet-dry transition season). These characteristics modulate the electrification of these systems, however it is still not well understood which are the dominant processes that intensify the frequency of lightning from one season to another: aerosol effect, thermodynamics, large-scale variability, landscape or topography? To answer this question, the objective of this study was to identify and quantify the importance of each one of these effects on the electrification of convective systems over the Amazon. The methodology was based on the analysis of observational data from the field experiment DRYTOWET and a numerical model with charge transfer parameterizations and lightning discharges. The cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning discharges annual cycle presented that the electrical activity of the southwestern Amazonian precipitating systems increased during the transition between the dry and wet seasons (August to September), in association with the convective systems deepening. With the establishment of the wet season (November to March), the number of CGs decreased but the electrical activity continued. The mean annual percentage of cloud-to-ground lightning of positive polarity (+CGs) was 12%, increasing drastically to 25% in September during the transition between the dry and wet seasons. This percentage of +CGs raise happened simultaneously with the increase in the atmospheric pollution due to the pasture biomass burning, held by local farmers to prepare the soil for agriculture and livestock during the begging of first rains. On the other hand, the increase in %+CGs also occurred preferentially over pasture areas of Rondonia state. Through the analysis of radar precipitating systems that occurred during the field campaign DRYTOWET, it was noted that positive thunderstorms (storms that produced more than 50% of +CGs over 50% of their life time) were initiated in drier and higher lift condensation levels (cloud base height) environments than other storms (negative thunderstorms) during all the field experiment, especially in the end of the dry season (September-October). A higher cloud base height is associated with a shallower warm cloud depth (cloud base height to the 0oC isotherm) and consequently less entrainment, increasing the updrafts due to a more efficient processing of the convective available potential energy (CAPE). This increase in updrafts inside the clouds results in deeper and stronger thunderstorms. The higher cloud base heights is a characteristic from pasture regions, where the ratio between sensible and latent heats at surface is greater than forested areas, which increases the top of the planetary boundary layer. The differences in the aerosol total concentration and size distribution, due to the increase in the atmospheric pollution during the transition between the dry and wet seasons, were inconclusive in a possible aerosol effect in the strength of positive and negative thunderstorms, once the aerosol concentration diurnal cycle follows the cycle of the planetary boundary layer, that also regulates the warm cloud depth effect. Numerical simulation of an 1D cloud model, coupled with charge transfer between the hydrometeors, showed that the thermodynamic structure was the main responsible feature for cloud electrification, increasing the updraft velocities. The pollution effect was masked in simulations, which inhibit the warm precipitation and consequently strength the the mixed and cold regions of the cloud, was responsible for an increase in the number of smaller aggregated particles, like snow flakes and graupel, decreasing the electrification and lightning frequency.

Full textThe atmospheric conditions related to squall-line (SL) initiation in the late afternoon or early evening over the northern coast of Brazil (NCB) were obtained for a specific month, March. For a specific atmospheric variable, the methodology relays on the comparison between the average of the more intense SL cases (SLC+) and the less intense costal convection (CC-). For the central area of the NCB, the vertical profiles for SLC+ and CC- for different times of the day (0600, 1200, 1800 and 2400 UTC, next day 0000 UTC), computed from ERA-Interim data spanning10 years (200413), were compared to radiosonde data at 1200 UTC. By focusing on the significant differences for both datasets, it was found that the conditions that are favorable to SL initiation in March are: moister layer between 850 and500 hPa, intense convergence at low-level (925 hPa) and higher upward motion at mid-levels (500 hPa). These regional conditions are part of a larger-scale pattern. These analyses were supplemented with numerical experiments conducted with WRF model for two different cases, one without the formation of deep convection (NOC) over the NCB and the other corresponding to SLC. The results corroborated the previous findings and highlight that the moister conditions over the NCB are the most important atmospheric conditions associated to SL initiation, since the relative humidity prescribed in the initial and boundary conditions to values similarly to those observed in the SLC (NOC) event, results in SL (NOC) initiation even in those simulations for the NOC (SL) event. Furthermore, the results did not show the expected relation between the sea breeze circulation and SL initiation. Besides that showed that larger sea surface temperature cause a raise in evaporation rate over oceanic region, then raise the humidity transport to higher levels and the humidity advection to the continent.

Full textThe purpose of this thesis is to show that the coupling mechanisms between deep convection and its local environment, through processes in clouds and surface affect its onset, and thus not only the diurnal cycle but also inter-diurnal variability of convection cloud. The analysis of these couplings through the prism radiative convective equilibrium, on the one hand, and their best representation by the introduction of a parameterization of the triggering stochastic, on the other hand, are conducted exclusively through the LMD GCM unicolonne (LMDZ). Radiative Convective Equilibrium (ERC) allows us to identify the signing of the new climate parameterization. We put the first issue of which is the sensitivity of deep convection conditions surface at equilibrium. We first worked in an idealized convective and radiative equilibrium without coupling with the radiation and soil (surface conditions are prescribed temperature coefficient and evapotranspiration). This very simplified case allows us to assess how changing the relative weight of each subgrid process according to the partitioning between sensible flux and latent flux. Then we place ourselves in a more realistic, with a continental ERC with a diurnal cycle, radiation and a surface coupled to the atmosphere, and finally a simplified hydrology. A sensitivity analysis of convection in continental surface moisture carried in SCM (Single Column Model) and compared with satellite data shows good agreement between the ERC Continental and observations. It then examines the interactions between deep convection and processes sub-cloud to short time scales: in particular the problem of transition to deep convection over continents. According to the statistical analysis of a simulation LES of a case of isolated thunderstorm trigger on semi-arid land (if AMMA) we propose a stochastic formulation of the outbreak. The latter is then integrated in the form of a parameterization, the LMD GCM (LMDZ) and then tested through case studies of various 1D, its added value compared to the previous parameterization is also discussed. Finally this new parameterization is analyzed within the framework of the ERC Continental, and we find the same effect on the intra-day and inter-diurnal convection than diagnosed realistic case with 1D and 3D model. The ERC would then include the footprint of the new parameterization

These processes modify the upper-level dynamics by injecting negative potential vortex (PV) anomalies into the WCB outflow, which reinforce the waveguide governing the general circulation. Their representation is a source of forecast errors downstream, especially over Europe. While WCBs are predominantly considered as slow continuous slantwise ascents, recent studies have revealed the existence of fast convective ascents in WCBs whose impact on upper-level dynamics is still debated. The reduction of forecast uncertainties motivated the NAWDEX field campaign over the North Atlantic in autumn 2016. During the campaign, the ascent region and the outflow of the WCB of the Stalactite cyclone were observed by an airborne Doppler radar and dropsondes. These observations are reproduced by a convection-permitting simulation carried out with the Meso-NH model, thanks to which a novel analysis combining Eulerian and Lagrangian approaches made it possible to characterize the complexity of the ascents in the WCB. The WCB ascent region is first studied. Three types of convective ascents are found and occur in a coherent and organized manner rather than as isolated cells. Two are caused by shallow convection related to the dynamics of the cold front and that of a low level jet. The third is due to mid-level convection, located on the western edge of the WCB between the low-level jet and the upper jet stream. It is the latter that feeds the anticyclonic branch of the WCB. The outflow of the WCB and its mid-level convection feed are then studied. An additional simulation is carried out for which the heat exchanges resulting from the cloud processes are cut off in order to highlight their impact on the upper-level dynamics. The reference simulation shows that the mid-level convection diabatically creates horizontal PV dipoles whose pole oriented towards the jet stream reaches negative values. These PV dipoles are then advected by the large-scale dynamics and persist over time. Thus, elongated bands of negative PV are found in the WCB outflow ten hours later. Comparing the two simulations shows that these negative PV bands reinforce the horizontal PV gradient at the tropopause, locally accelerating the jet stream. The results of the thesis show the complexity of convection that can be found in a WCB. They suggest that mid-level convection impacts the altitude dynamics and that its misrepresentation in large-scale models could explain in part the forecast errors downstream

The Maritime Continent experiences strong moist convection, which produces significant rainfall and drives large fluxes of heat and moisture to the upper troposphere. Despite the importance of these processes to global circulations, current predictions of climate change over this region are still highly uncertain, largely due to inadequate representation of the diurnally-varying processes related to convection. In this work, a coupled numerical model of the land-atmosphere system (RegCM3-IBIS) is used to investigate how more physically-realistic representations of these processes can be incorporated into large-scale climate models. In particular, this work improves simulations of convective-radiative feedbacks and the role of cumulus clouds in mediating the diurnal cycle of rainfall. Three key contributions are made to the development of RegCM3-IBIS. Two pieces of work relate directly to the formation and dissipation of convective clouds: a new representation of convective cloud cover, and a new parameterization of convective rainfall production. These formulations only contain parameters that can be directly quantified from observational data, are independent of model user choices such as domain size or resolution, and explicitly account for subgrid variability in cloud water content and nonlinearities in rainfall production. The third key piece of work introduces a new method for representation of cloud formation within the boundary layer. A comprehensive evaluation of the improved model was undertaken using a range of satellite-derived and ground-based datasets, including a new dataset from Singapore's Changi airport that documents diurnal variation of the local boundary layer height. The performance of RegCM3-IBIS with the new formulations is greatly improved across all evaluation metrics, including cloud cover, cloud liquid water, radiative fluxes and rainfall, indicating consistent improvement in physical realism throughout the simulation. This work demonstrates that: (1) moist convection strongly influences the near surface environment by mediating the incoming solar radiation and net radiation at the surface; (2) dissipation of convective cloud via rainfall plays an equally important role in the convective-radiative feedback as the formation of that cloud; and (3) over parts of the Maritime Continent, rainfall is a product of diurnally-varying convective processes that operate at small spatial scales, on the order of 1 km.

Full textThis thesis focuses on the distribution of radionuclides in the atmosphere and of its spatial and temporal variability. Randionuclides, studied in this thesis, are thus from the International Monitoring System of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization, particularly the two natural radionuclides 7Be et 210Pb which are frequently uses for atmospheric transport study. The main tool is the LMDz climate model. Thanks to the high/low tropospheric radionuclides sources, these tracers are useful for the evaluation of processes which affect its distribution. Tropics are the region where radionuclides surface concentrations are the worst simulated by the LMDz model. The disagreement between observations nd simulations underlines the need to a better representation of transport in convective systems et a better understanding of physical processes in the model. We developed a parametrization of transport of radionuclide and its removal by incloud condensation and by precipitation by convective clouds. The scheme follows closely the Emanuel moist convection scheme and has been developed in LMDz climate model. The analysis of the different processes affecting tracers distribution in the unicolum version of LMDz show how convective and large-scale processes combine their effects to move vertically tracers. Convective precipitating downdrafts move down 7Be at the surface, with the help of the evaporation of convective and large-scale precipitation, whereas large-scale condensation removes the radionuclide from the whole troposphere

Full textHeat transfer enhancement is an important research area to improve the efficiency of energy systems, especially for heat exchangers. There are different ways of optimizing such systems as the choice of flow regime or the modification on the fluid channels geometry. This thesis is focused on the latter option with the development of a topology optimization method. The number of design parameters involved in this technique is important (several thousands) so a gradient-based method is employed. The calculation of the cost function gradient with respect to the design variables is done with an adjoint-state method. The forward problem is solved with the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM). The simple implementation of the LBM boundary conditions is an interesting feature for topology optimization. The LBM algorithm is also highly parallelizable and GPU cards have been used in this thesis to obtain fast computational times. The efficiency of the LBM is important because the forward problem must be solved at each optimization step. Then, the optimization domain is composed of either solid of fluid elements. This material distribution is defined by a Level-Set Function (LSF). This is a continuous function in which the zero contour defines the fluid/solid interface, allowing an accurate description of both domains. The proposed optimization method has been tested for different objectives (minimization of the mean temperature, maximization of heat transfer rate) and constraints (pressure drops limitation, fixed porosity)
