Full textGiven the pressing issue of increasing antibiotic resistance threatening public health, new biologically active molecule research is urgent. Filamentous fungi are charcterised by their ability to synthesise a wide range of natural products, driven by biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) that orchestrate the production of specialised metabolites. However, many products derived from these BGCs remain uncharacterised, and their chemodiversity is underexplored due to the inability to activate their full potential in laboratory settings. The OSMAC (One Strain Many Compounds) approach seeks to harness this potential through culture condition variations. Nevertheless, this method remains complex and costly due to its randomness and vast number of experiments required. Therefore, optimising these processes needs the integration of more rational and efficient strategies. Using systems biology approaches, genome-scale metabolic networks (GSMNs) provide detailed modeling of metabolic pathways, involved enzymes, and associated genes, offering a precise overview of metabolism. In this context, we propose an alternative strategiy: in silico OSMAC. By reconstructing an updated GSMN for Penicillium rubens , we studied its metabolic responses under various nutritional scenarios. This modelling enabled us to assess the influence of different carbon and nitrogen sources on growth and the production of specialised metabolites, thereby opening new prospects for optimising the production of natural products

Full textUnderstanding and predicting the performance of a fusion reactor in terms of confinement is one of the missing milestones for the availability of fusion energy. The predictions for the design of future reactors such as ITER are based on the extrapolation of empiricalscaling laws. We investigate global confinement properties of turbulent heat transport in a Tokamak with first principle simulations. The research is carried on two main topics: the scaling properties of plasma confinement and the effect of the plasma boundary on the turbulent transport. An important result is obtained when reproducing the global scaling for the energy confinement time with numerical simulations. However the scaling properties are found to brake at the local level. The boundary condition of the code has been modified to mimic the experimental Scrape-Off Layer at the plasma edge. Additional physics is now accessible, such as Kelvin-Helmholtz-like instability at separatrix and edge subcritical turbulence
Yureidini, Ahmed. "Robust blood vessel reconstruction for interactive medical simulations." Thesis, Lille 1, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014LIL10044/document.
Full textIn the context of interactive simulation, the lack of patient specific geometrical models remains one of the major limitations of simulators. Current commercial simulators proposed no or a limited number of cases. However, a vast literature on the subject has been introduced in the past twenty years. Nevertheless, the proposed methods are not adapted to an interactive context, especially when dealing with vascular networks. In this work, we address the problem of blood vessel segmentation and reconstruction from 3DRA patient data. To this end, we propose two novel algorithms for segmentation and reconstruction. First, the vessel tree is built by tracking the vessel centerline. Our dedicated tracking process also extracts points on the vessel surface in a robust way. Second, those points are fitted by an implicit surface (a blobby model) that is iteratively refined. Tracking and reconstruction results are reported on synthetic and patient data. Simulations within an interventional tool navigation context showed that the resulting geometrical model complies with interactive simulation requirements : fast collision detection and prediction, topology information, smoothness and availability of differential quantities for contact response computation

Full textThis PhD thesis presents the theoretical and experimental results of the interaction between a plane wave and a monolayer of spherical / non-spherical submicron particles that are transparent to the optical field. Local amplification of the optical field under the particle can be observed. This amplification of electromagnetic field is called "photonic nanojet". A theoretical study of nanojet under the microparticles and the choice of optimal conditions, allowed us to exploit this nanojet as a micro-nano-structuring tool. A 2D periodic structuring of a TiO2-based photosensitive material deposited on various substrates was carried out by the colloidal photolithography technique. By using this TiO2-based photosensitive material, this approach makes possible in a single step to produce a functional layer. Finally, this thesis presents some opportunities to exploit the phenomenon of concentration of an incident wave by the microparticles. More precisely, this microstructuration can be used for optical trapping functions, for the localized growth of functional materials or for increasing the photocatalytic activity of active layers

Full textUne simulation des chaînes de lecture et de calibration de chaque voie du calorimètre a été réalisée. Son résultat dépend de 8 grandeurs caractéristiques qui ont été extraites par traitement du signal de mesures de réflectométrie temporelle. Elle permettra de définir une stratégie de calibration du calorimètre.
Une clusterisation des dépôts d'énergie calorimétrique a été réalisée (cel1NN) basée sur la cellule et non la tour et exploitant au maximum la granularité du calorimètre notamment en débutant dans le Sème compartiment électromagnétique, 4 fois plus granulaire que les autres. L'information longitudinale permet de séparer les particules électromagnétiques et hadroniques superposées. Ainsi, tous les éléments indispensables â la reconstruction individuelle des gerbes sont mis en oeuvre.
Puis, l'energy flow combine les clusters ce11NN et les traces reconstruites dans la cavité centrale pour conserver la meilleure mesure de l'énergie et améliorer ainsi la reconstruction du flux d'énergie de chaque événement.
L'efficacité des déclenchements calorimétriques actuels a été déterminée et utilisée pour une recherche de squarks et gluinos utilisant des événements Monte Carlo dans le cadre de mSUGRA. Une limite inférieure sur les masses des squarks et des gluinos qu'atteindra DO avec 100 pb-1 de luminosité est prédite â partir d'outils de reconstruction standards; elle pourra être améliorée grâce à l'utilisation de l'energy flow.

Full textThe DØ experiment is located at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory on the TeVatron proton-antiproton collider. The Run II has started in march 2001 after 5 years of shutdown and will allow DØ extend its reach in squarks and gluinos searches, particles predicted by supersymmetry. In this work, I focussed on their decays that lead to signature with jets and missing transverse energy. But before the data taking started, I studied bath software and hardware ways to improve the energy measurement which is crutial for jets and for missing transverse energy. For each calorimeter channel, the physics and the calibration signal has been simulated based on a database of the 8 parameters that describe each channel. The parameters have been extracted from time reflectometry measurements. The calibration strategy can be defined using this simulation. Energy deposits in the calorimeter has been clustered with celINN, at the cellievei instead of the tower level. Efforts have been made to take advantage of the calorimeter granularity to aim at individual particles showers reconstruction. CellNN starts from the third floor which has a quadruple granulariry compared to the other floors. The longitudinal information has been used to detect electromagnetic and hadronic showers overlaps. Then, clusters and reconstructed tracks from the central detectors are combined and their energies compared. The better measurement is kept. Using this procedure allows to improve the reconstruction of each event energy flow. The efficiency of the current calorimeter triggers has been determined. They has been used to perform a Monte Carlo search analysis of squarks and gluinos in the mSUGRA framework. The lower bound that DO will be able to put on squarks and gluinos masses with a 100 pb^(-1) integrated luminosity has been predicted. The use of the energy flow instead of standard reconstruction tools will be able to improve this lower limit

In this thesis, we investigate the convective instabilities induced by anisotropic conduction in a rapidly conducting plasma. We simulate the magneto-thermal instability (MTI), and the heat-flux-driven buoyancy instability (HBI) in two- and three- dimensional, global hydrodynamic simulations performed by the AREPO code, and verify the results of previous works. Our results have important astrophysical implications, such as the conductive heat transport in galaxy clusters.

Full textThis thesis takes place in the field of high intensity laser-plasma interaction. The aim was to highlight the stochastic heating effect. This phenomenon comes from the chaotic behavior of the plasma electrons. In order to have a simple theoretical model, two assumptions were made : underdense plasma and high intensity laser. The second one is equivalent to a>1 (where a is the normalized vector potential, a=eE0/mcw0 with (-e) the electron charge, E0 the electric field of the laser, m the electron mass, c the speed of light in vacuum and w0 the pulsation of the laser), so we need a relativistic approach of the system. The hamiltonian formalism is used in order to get information from our system. Using the Chirikov criterion, a set of parameters was deduced in order to get global stochasticity. Then, particle in cell simulations were performed in order to validate theoretical predictions. The influence of several parameters on the energy gain has been studied. Finally, a first numerical test was performed for protons acceleration

The problem of phase-resolved reconstruction and forecast of ocean wave field based on measurements is of basic scientific interest and practical importance in ocean science and marine engineering. This capability aids and expands the use and interpretation of field and wave basin measurements, contributing to the study of fundamental wave mechanics. It also expands the operational envelope and improves survivability and efficiency of ships and marine facilities in severe seas. We develop theoretical and computational capabilities to solve this problem, which can be applied to both ocean wave field and wave basin experiments. Given limited wave measurement data, there exists specific space and time domain( s) (the "predictable zone") where the wave-field can be reconstructed and forecasted. In this thesis, using linearized wave theory and reasonable assumptions of the frequency and directional extent of the wave field, we obtain closed-form expressions for (linear) predictable zone PL in terms of set notation involving the individual measurement. We derive and illustrate PL obtained for ("probe") measurements at one or more fixed locations over time, for moving probes, for whole-area wave measurements, and combinations of these. We also consider the problem of optimal deployment of these measurements to maximize the volume of PL in space-time. For J probes, we show that this volume scales as J³ (in contrast to J when the predictable zones of individual measurements are simply summed). With the knowledge of the predictable zone, we develop and validate a high-order reconstruction (HOR) method for the phase-resolved reconstruction of nonlinear wave field given a set of wave measurements. HOR optimizes the amplitude and phase of L free-wave components of the nonlinear wave field, accounting for nonlinear wave interactions up to order M in the evolution to obtain a nonlinear wave field that minimizes the reconstruction error between reconstructed wave field and the given measurements. For a given reconstruction tolerance, L and M are provided in the HOR scheme itself. To demonstrate the validity and efficacy of HOR, we perform extensive tests of general two- and three-dimensional wave fields specified by theoretical Stokes waves, nonlinear simulations, and physical wave fields in tank experiments. The necessary L, for general broad banded wave fields, is shown to be relatively small and substantially less than the free and locked modes needed for the nonlinear evolution. We find that, even for relatively small wave steepness, the inclusion of high-order effects in HOR is important for prediction of wave kinematics not in the measurements. For all the cases we consider, HOR converges to the underlying wave field within a nonlinear spatial-temporal predictable zone PNL (dependent on the measurements and wave nonlinearity). PNL generally extends in time (and space) beyond the measurements, thus obtaining reliable forecast/predictions of the wave field. For linear waves, PNL=PL, verifying the predictable zone theory. With increasing wave nonlinearity, we show that PNL contains and is generally greater than PL. Thus PL provides a (conservative) estimate of PNL when the underlying wave field is not known. For nonlinear steep wave-field, wave breaking plays an important role in the evolution of the wave field. We develop a phenomenological wave breaking model that can be incorporated into the nonlinear evolution engine of HOR to predict breaking onset and simulate proper amount of energy dissipation. Thus HOR can properly reconstruct and forecast nonlinear wave field which may contain breaking events. The breaking model is developed in the spectra domain and based on analysis of simulated two-dimensional wave breaking caused by different wave-wave interaction mechanism, including modulation instability and wave focusing. The developed wave breaking model is calibrated, validated and verified by different wave breaking measurements and excellent agreement is obtained between simulated wave breaking results and measured ones. The wave breaking model can be further used to simulate the locations of breaking events, which is validated statistically by calculating the Phillips statistics. This thesis does not address the issue of wave-body interaction nor the control problem for scale models in the wave basin, but it provides necessary nonlinear whole-field data for intense CFD analysis of wave-body interaction at a level heretofore not possible. The presence of imposed current or wind is not considered at this stage but can be incorporated in the future using the same framework.

Full textThe improvement of aerothermal predictions is a major concern for aeronautic manufacturers. In line with this issue, SAS approaches are assessed on the prediction of wall and turbulent heat fluxes for heated-turbulent flows. This study also aims at evaluating these advanced URANS methods in regard to DRSM models and hybrid RANS/LES approaches as ZDES. Firstly, we proposed to combine the SAS approach and a DRSM model in order to better reproduce both resolved and modelled Reynolds stresses. This new model, called SAS-DRSM, was implemented in ONERA Navier-Strokes code elsA. Unsteady simulations of two heated turbulent flows encountered in an aircraft engine compartment were then performed to evaluate all the SAS models available in the code. These numerical studies demonstrated that SAS approaches improve prediction of the flows compared to classical URANS models. They lead to full 3D flows with many turbulent structures. These structures favour turbulent mixing and thus induce a better prediction of the wall heat fluxes. Moreover, the numerical simulations showed that SAS methods are more accurate than classical URANS models without increasing significantly calculation costs. SAS approaches are not able to resolve the smallest turbulent structures in relation to ZDES which provides better predictions. Finally, the investigation of the turbulent heat flux suggested that the constant turbulent Prendtl number assumption, that is characteristic of classical URANS models, may not be valid in some regions of the flow

Full textThe primary thrust of this work is the development and implementation of a new approach to the problem of field-aligned coordinates in magnetized plasma turbulence simulations called the FCI approach (Flux-Coordinate Independent). The method exploits the elongated nature of micro-instability driven turbulence which typically has perpendicular scales on the order of a few ion gyro-radii, and parallel scales on the order of the machine size. Mathematically speaking, it relies on local transformations that align a suitable coordinate to the magnetic field to allow efficient computation of the parallel derivative. However, it does not rely on flux coordinates, which permits discretizing any given field on a regular grid in the natural coordinates such as (x, y, z) in the cylindrical limit. The new method has a number of advantages over methods constructed starting from flux coordinates, allowing for more flexible coding in a variety of situations including X-point configurations. In light of these findings, a plasma simulation code FENICIA has been developed based on the FCI approach with the ability to tackle a wide class of physical models. The code has been verified on several 3D test models. The accuracy of the approach is tested in particular with respect to the question of spurious radial transport. Tests on 3D models of the drift wave propagation and of the Ion Temperature Gradient (ITG) instability in cylindrical geometry in the linear regime demonstrate again the high quality of the numerical method. Finally, the FCI approach is shown to be able to deal with an X-point configuration such as one with a magnetic island with good convergence and conservation properties

Full textThe Earth’s magnetic field is generated within the Earth’s core, where convective motions ofthe electrically conducting liquid iron result in a dynamo action. This process, called the geodynamo,has been maintaining a magnetic field for billion of years. Paleomagnetic evidence showsthat the behaviour of the geodynamo has changed during geological times. These behaviourchanges are visible through variations in the strength and stability of the magnetic dipole. Variationsin the heat flux at the core-mantle boundary (CMB) due to mantle convection have beensuggested as one possible mechanism capable of driving such a change of behaviour.Numerical models of mantle convection and of the geodynamo have made significant improvementsin the recent years. Coupling mantle convection models and geodynamo models cangive insights into how the geodynamo reacts to variations in the CMB heat flux. Our current understandingof this thermal coupling between the mantle and the core is nonetheless restricted bylimitations in numerical models on both the mantle and core side. On the mantle side, the orientationof the mantle with respect to the spin axis has to be better constrained in order to exploitrecent simulations reproducing about 1 Gyr of mantle convection. Constraining this orientationrequires to align the maximum inertia axis of the mantle with the spin axis of the Earth, causingsolid-body rotations of the mantle called true polar wander (TPW). On the core side, numericalsimulations are still far from the parameter regime of the Earth, and it is not clear whether thereversing mechanism observed in these models is relevant for the Earth’s core.This work aims at acquiring a more complete understanding of how lateral heterogeneitiesof the CMB heat flux affect the geodynamo. In a first part, we explore the impact of TPW onthe CMB heat flux using two recently published mantle convection models: one model drivenby a plate reconstruction and a second that self-consistently produces a plate-like behaviour. Wecompute the geoid in both models to correct for TPW. An alternative to TPW correction is used forthe plate-driven model by simply repositioning the model in the original paleomagnetic referenceframe of the plate reconstruction. We find that in the plate-driven mantle convection model, themaximum inertia axis does not show a long-term consistency with the position of the magneticdipole inferred from paleomagnetism. TPW plays an important role in redistributing the CMBheat flux, notably at short time scales (≤ 10 Myr). Those rapid variations modify the latitudinaldistribution of the CMB heat flux. A principal component analysis (PCA) is computed to obtainthe dominant CMB heat flux patterns in the models.In a second part, we study the impact of heterogeneous heat flux conditions at the top of thecore in geodynamo models that expands towards more Earth-like parameter regimes than previouslydone. We especially focus on the heat flux distribution between the poles and the equator.More complex patterns extracted from the mantle convection models are also used. We show thatan equatorial cooling of the core is the most efficient at destabilizing the magnetic dipole, while apolar cooling of the core tends to stabilize the dipole. The observed effects of heterogeneous heatflux patterns are explained through the compatibility of thermal winds generated by the heat fluxpattern with zonal flows. Notably, heat flux patterns have a more moderate effect when westwardzonal flows are strong, with a destabilization of the dipole only for unrealistically large amplitudes.A parameter controlling the strength and stability of the magnetic dipole that is consistentwith the reversing behaviour of the geodynamo is suggested.i

Full textHow has the olive been domesticated from its wild form, the oleaster? Molecular diversity at 14 nuclear and 2 chloroplast loci was investigated for comparison amongst a set of more than 1500 individuals from the entire Mediterranean basin. To document the history of the two taxa, a Bayesian method was used to reconstruct the ancestral lines. Diversity analysis with classic genetic tools revealed tendencies but did not provide clear-cut conclusions because the individuals fell along a continuum. Indeed, gene flow from cultivars that were displaced from East to West during human migrations has disturbed the genetic structure on both the continent and various islands. The Bayesian method enabled us to reconstruct the ancestral lineages a posteriori, and so to screen the trees individually in order to reveal those with only a single ancestor in one lineage, rather than “hybrids” with several ancestors in several lineages. We determined 11 ancestral oleaster lineages that originate from ten geographical areas, some of which are recognised as refuge zones for plant and animal species. Cultivars studied separately from oleasters proved to possess 9 ancestral lineages. Cultivars from each lineage delimit a geographic origin corresponding to a domestication event and, while some of these have already been described (Israel, Spain), others were unknown (Corsica, Cyprus, France, and Tunisia). The Bayesian method used was, therefore, complementary with diversity analyses in assigning and admixing each individual to one or several ancestral lineages. Thus, the diverse methods used contributed to providing more robust results. The olive has, therefore, undergone multilocal domestication which is incomplete, as many trees remain unclassifiable

Full textIn order to fulfill increasing reliability and safety requirements, non destructive testing techniques are constantly evolving and so does their complexity. Consequently, simulation is an essential part of their design. We developed a tool for the simulation of the ultrasonic field radiated by any planar probes into non destructive testing configurations involving meshed geometries without prominent edges, isotropic and anisotropic, homogeneous and heterogeneous materials, and wave trajectories that can include reflections and transmissions. We approximate the ultrasonic wavefronts by using polynomial interpolators that are local to ultrasonic ray pencils. They are obtained using a surface research algorithm based on pencil tracing and successive subdivisions. Their interpolators enable the computation of the necessary quantities for the impulse response computation on each point of a sampling of the transducer surface that fulfills the Shannon criterion. By doing so, we can compute a global impulse response which, when convoluted with the excitation signal of the transducer, results in the ultrasonic field. The usage of task parallelism and of SIMD instructions on the most computationally expensive steps yields an important performance boost. Finally, we developed a tool for progressive visualization of field images. It benefits from an image reconstruction technique and schedules field computations in order to accelerate convergence towards the final image

Full textIn this PhD thesis we study the impact of resonant magnetic perturbations on the transport barrier dynamics in a tokamak. In this goal we have performed turbulence tridimensional numerical simulations in the edge plasma of a tokamak, which reproduced the experimental results observed in different tokamaks. In the improved confinement regime (H mode), the transport barrier is not stable : it does relaxation oscillations, which share common features with the ``Edge Localized Modes'' (ELMs). These ELMs both have advantages and drawbacks. On the one hand, they enable to push away the impurities present in the plasma core. But on the other hand, the thermal load induced on the wall during an ELM can damage the first wall materials. For this reason, they must be controlled. This PhD thesis belongs to the frame of the ITER project, which is today in construction in France. On ITER the ELMs control will be compulsory due to the quantity of energy released. Among the different ways of controlling the ELMs, the resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) seem promising. These resonant magnetic perturbations are created by external coils. We consider the TEXTOR tokamak case and we consider two configurations for the external coils : first, a resonant magnetic perturbation with several harmonics, which enables to have a stochastic zone at the plasma edge when the magnetic island chains overlap ; then, a resonant magnetic perturbation with a single harmonic, which therefore creates a single magnetic island chain. In this PhD thesis, we focus on the non-axisymmetric equilibrium created in the plasma by the resonant magnetic perturbation

TFT (Thin-film transistor) - LCD (Liquid-crystal display) is now widely used by the display industry for the reason that LCD is compact and light with very low power consumption; moreover, it has little or no flicker and no geometric distortion. However, small defects from the bottom layers could grow after the deposition process and result in defective panels. Such tiny objects on the scale of ~102 nm are too small for modem cameras to directly image and generally requires (scanning) microscopy during industrial inspection process, which unfortunately leads to a tremendous cost. This thesis investigates a holographic imaging approach combined with a compressive signal reconstruction framework to automatically locate such small defects from FDTD simulation results. Holography records the electric field from a sparse distribution of particle scattering; compressive sensing retrieves a clean signal from the original measured signal corrupted by shot noise and other system noise with a sparsity prior and auto-parameter tuning based on signal characteristics. Strong denoising parameter reduces false alarms and increases miss detection at the same time. The compressive framework is followed by a defect candidate selection process which helps to eliminate false alarms while preserving the desired signal by comparing the compressive reconstruction result to the direct signal back-propagation estimate. Auto-parameter tuning finds the compressive (denoising) parameter according to the strength of noise present in the direct measurement. The accuracy and reliability of using this method to localize cylindrical defects on the scale of 102 nm is studied. This method is able to accurately cover detection of most cylindrical defects of different sizes under 0.2 sec exposure time per field of view. The accuracy is compromised for extremely small defects on a similar size scale to a cylindrical defect of 100 nm in diameter and 100 nm in height.

Full textThe dramatic increase of carbon concentration in the atmosphere is limited by the action of some oceanic areas that act like a “sink of carbon” mainly thanks to the biological pump. Because of the strong participation of diatoms to the primary production and their ability to aggregate, we study the role of diatoms and the impact of aggregation on the biological pump. Laboratory experiments determined that the BSiO2 dissolution rate of aggregated cells is lower than the one of freely suspended cells. The model of aggregate used to better understand aggregate internal parameters that provoke the decrease of the dissolution rate, confirmed that the dissolution is lower in aggregates and added that the DSi diffusion in aggregate is lower than in seawater. The decrease of the BSiO2 dissolution rate is attributed to the strong DSi concentrations measured into aggregates and to the higher viability of aggregated cells. Experimental results were then combined with in situ measurements of BSiO2 fluxes in nine areas cf the ocean, intc a simple model that reconstruct BSiO2 fluxes in the water column. This model allows to calculate the repartition of the BSiO2 between large particles and freely suspended cells and to better understand particles dynamic. The BSiO2 fluxes reconstructed using the model, were then associated with a relation between Si/C ratios and water column depth to determine the real importance of diatoms in the biological pump cf carbon. We then calculated the carbon fluxes at the maximum depth of the mixing layer. The use of the Si fluxes as a proxy of the carbon fluxes allow to ignore difficulties due to the cornplexity of the carbon chemistry. The role of diatoms in the export and transfer of carbon strongly depend on the way used to calculate the export out of the surface layer

Full textHemodynamics (blood flow dynamics) is now recognized as a key marker in the onset and evolution of many cardiovascular disorders such as aneurysms, stenoses, or blood clot formation. As it provides a comprehensive access to blood flows in-vivo, time-resolved 3D phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (or 4D Flow MRI) has gained an increasing interest over the last years and stands out as a highly relevant tool for diagnosis, patient follow-up and research in cardiovascular diseases. On top of providing a non-invasive access to the 3D velocity field in-vivo, this technique allows retrospective quantification of velocity-derived hemodynamic biomarkers such as relative pressure or shear stress, which are pertinent for medical diagnosis but difficult to measure in practice. However, several acquisition parameters (spatio-temporal resolution, encoding velocity, imaging artifacts) might limit the expected accuracy of the measurements and potentially lead to erroneous diagnosis. Moreover, the intrinsic complexities of the MRI acquisition process make it generally difficult to localize the sources of measurement errors.This thesis aims at developing a methodology for the assessment of 4D Flow MRI measurements in complex flow configuration. A well-controlled experiment gathering an idealized in-vitro flow phantom generating flow structures typical of that observed in the cardiovascular system is designed. The flow is simultaneously predicted by means of a high-order Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solver and measured with 4D flow MRI. By evaluating the differences between the two modalities, it is first shown that the numerical solution can be considered very close to the ground truth velocity field. The analysis also reveals the typical errors present in 4D flow MRI images, whether relevant to the velocity field itself or to classical derived quantities (relative pressure, wall shear stress). Finally, a 4D Flow MRI simulation framework is developed and coupled with CFD to reconstruct the synthetic MR images of the reference flow that correspond to the acquisition protocol, but exempted from experimental measurement errors. Thanks to this new capability, the sources of the potential errors in 4D Flow MRI (hardware, software, sequence) can be identified

Full textWhile high order methods allow to perform very accurate simulations with low costs, there is a lack of tools to analyze and exploit results obtained by these new schemes. The objective of this thesis is to design a framework and efficient algorithms to visualize solutions computed by high order methods. Our approach is based on the construction of an optimized affine approximation of the numerical solution which can be handled by any standard visualization software. A representation mesh is created via an a posteriori estimate which control visualization error between the numerical solution and its representation, and is performed pointwise. A strategy is established to ensure that (dis)continuities are well-rendered. A special work is done to treat high order elements (curved elements) and in particular use specific a posteriori estimates. Several numerical examples demonstrate the potential of the visualization method. In a second part, we examine the computation and reconstruction of radiated fields for wave problems in harmonic regime. We propose a methodology to generate an accurate reconstruction of radiated fields while limiting the information needed (i.e. compressing the data). For this purpose, we rely on basis functions composed of high order polynomials and plane waves, as well as a development of the kernel used for the integral representation. The visualization method allows to faithfully represent (decompression process) the cartographies obtained

Full textdiffusion equation is discretized by means of the Nodal expansion Method (NEM) [9, 10]. A new formulation of the higher order NEM variants revealing the true nature of the problem, that is, a generalized eigenvalue problem, is proposed. These generalized eigenvalue problems are solved using the Jacobi-Davidson (JD) method
[26]. The most expensive part of the method consists of solving a linear system referred to as correction equation. It is solved using Krylov subspace methods in combination with aggregation-based Algebraic Multigrid (AMG) techniques. In that context, a particular
aggregation technique used in combination with classical smoothers, referred to as oblique geometric coarsening, has been derived. Its particularity is that it aggregates unknowns that
are not coupled, which has never been done to our
knowledge. A modular code, combining JD with an AMG preconditioner, has been developed. The code comes with many options, that have been tested. In particular, the instability of the Rayleigh-Ritz [33] acceleration procedure in the non-symmetric case has been underlined. Our code has also been compared to an industrial code extracted from ARTEMIS.

Full textLes tourbières représentent d'importants réservoirs naturels riches en carbone et en eau douce à l'échelle globale. Ils jouent par conséquent un rôle majeur à la fois dans le cycle du carbone et le cycle hydrologique. L'origine et le développement des tourbières sont liés à l'existence de circonstances environnementales optimales. Il s'agit essentiellement d'un contexte hydro-morphologique adéquat favorisant l'occurrence de sols saturés en eau sur des terrains relativement plats. Ce document présente les résultats d'une étude scientifique conduite dans un complexe tourbier nordique, situé dans la région de Schefferville, Québec, Canada. Ce terrain représente un cas particulier peu observé dans la nature : une large partie de l'accumulation de matière organique a eu lieu sur un gradient topographique prononcé. L'objectif de cette étude est de quantifier et caractériser le flux spatiotemporel du système de circulation de l'eau souterraine régional à la nappe d'aquifère du système tourbier local. Un modèle numérique de circulation de l'eau souterraine est utilisé afin de simuler le système tourbier et caractériser son régime hydraulique. Basé sur le code informatique du modèle MODFLOW, développé par le Service de Géologie des Etats Unis (McDonald and Harbaugh 1988), le modèle tridimensionnel est utilisé afin de simuler la circulation des eaux sou terraine. Le modèle incorpore une série de données météorologiques et hydrométriques en tant que paramètres d'entrée. Mesurées entre le 17 juin et le 4 septembre 2009, ces données proviennent d'une station météo installée pour les besoins de l'étude sur le terrain même, ainsi que 14 puits d'observations et 2 barrages pour mesure le débit. Cette étude établit que, sur l'ensemble de la période d'étude, le flux de l eau souterraine du système régional a représenté 27% des entrées en eau. Les 73% restant se divisent entre 54% pour la précipitation, 14% pour l influx de surface et 5% pour le changement de stockage hydraulique. En conséquence, la conclusion majeure de cette étude est que le flux régional d'eau souterraine est, d'un point de vue volumétrique, le deuxième flux le plus important dans le system tourbier nordique.

Full textArcheomagnetic field models and numerical dynamo simulations provide important insights to the geodynamo. I investigated the existence and mobility of reversed flux patches (RFPs) in archeomagnetic field models. I compared the tracking of RFPs with seismic anomalies of the lowermost mantle to explore if RFPs have preferred locations prescribed by lower mantle lateral heterogeneity and interpreted in terms of core dynamics and core-mantle thermal interactions. Correlation in co-latitude and a shift in longitude allowed inferring azimuthal orientation of toroidal field below the core-mantle boundary (CMB) and the presence of large fluid upwelling structures at the top of the core. The South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) is a region of weak geomagnetic field intensity at the Earth's surface, which is commonly attributed to RFPs on the CMB. While the SAA is clearly affected by the reversed flux region below the South Atlantic, I showed that the relation between the SAA and RFPs is not straightforward. The SAA minimum is determined by the interplay among several robust flux patches at the CMB. Simple secular variation (SV) scenarios suggest that while the SAA path can be explained by advection, its intensity decrease requires magnetic diffusion. Investigating whether lower mantle thermal heterogeneity may explain the location of the SAA was tested with run numerical dynamos with heterogeneous CMB heat flux. Histograms of the coordinates of surface intensity minima show two peaks of preferred longitudinal position of weakest surface field intensity, one close to the present SAA minimum longitude. The ingredients to reproduce the SAA coordinates are related to north-south asymmetry of normal and reversed flux
