Full-coverage or effusion cooling is commonly used in the thermal management of gas turbine combustion systems. The combustor environment is characterised by highly turbulent free-stream conditions and relatively large turbulent length scales. This turbulent flow field is predominantly created by the upstream fuel injector for lean burn systems. In rich burn systems the turbulent flow field is augmented further by the addition of dilution ports. The available evidence suggests that large energetic eddies interact strongly with the injected coolant fluid and may have a significant impact on the film-cooling performance. The desire to create compact low-emission combustion systems with improved specific fuel consumption, has given rise to a desire to reduce the quantity of air used in wall cooling, and has led to the need for improved cooling correlations and validated computational methods. In order to establish a greater understanding of effusion cooling under conditions of very high free-stream turbulence, a new laboratory test facility has been created that is capable of simulating representative combustor flow conditions, and that allows for a systematic investigation of cooling performance over a range of free-stream turbulence conditions (up to 25% intensity, integral length scale-to-coolant hole diameter ratios of 26) and coolant to mainstream density ratios (??_c/??_??? ???2). This thesis describes this new test facility, including the method for generating combustor relevant flow conditions. The hot side film cooling performance of cylindrical and fanned hole effusion has been evaluated in terms of adiabatic film-cooling effectiveness and normalised heat transfer coefficient (HTC) and heat flux reduction (HFR). Infrared thermography was employed to produce spatial resolved surface temperature distributions of the effusion surface. The analysis of this data is supported by fluid temperature field measurements. The interpretation of the data has established the impact of turbulence intensity, integral length scale and density ratio on the mixing processes between free-stream and coolant flows. Elevated levels of free-stream turbulence increase the rate of mixing and degrade the cooling effectiveness at low blowing ratios whereas at high blowing ratios, where the coolant detaches from the surface, a modest increase has been observed under certain conditions; this is due to the turbulent transport of the detached coolant fluid back towards the wall. For angled cylindrical hole injection the impact of density ratio as an independent parameter was found to be relatively weak. Adiabatic effectiveness data gathered at DR's of 1 - 1.4 scaled reasonable well when plotted against momentum flux ratio. This suggests data collected at low DR's can be scaled to engine representative DR's. The investigation of shaped cooling holes found fanned effusion has the potential to dramatically improve film effectiveness. The diffusion of the flow through a fanned exit prevented jet detachment at blowing ratios up to 5, increasing spatially averaged effectiveness by 89%.

The influence of freestream turbulence representative of the flow downstream of a modern gas turbine combustor and first stage vane on turbine blade heat transfer has been measured and analytically modeled in a linear, transonic turbine cascade. Measurements were performed on a high turning, transonic turbine blade. The facility is capable of heated flow with inlet total temperature of 120ºC and inlet total pressure of 10 psig. The Reynolds number based on blade chord and exit conditions (5x106) and the inlet and exit Mach numbers (0.4 and 1.2, respectively) are representative of conditions in a modern gas turbine engine. High intensity, large length-scale freestream turbulence was generated using a passive turbulence-generating grid to simulate the turbulence generated in modern combustors after it has passed through the first stage vane row. The grid produced freestream turbulence with intensity of approximately 10-12% and an integral length scale of 2 cm near the entrance of the cascade passages, which is believed to be representative of the core flow entering a first stage gas turbine rotor blade row. Mean heat transfer results showed an increase in heat transfer coefficient of approximately 8% on the suction surface of the blade, with increases on the pressure surface on the order of two times higher than on the suction surface (approximately 17%). This corresponds to increases in blade surface temperature of 5-10%, which can significantly reduce the life of a turbine blade. The heat transfer data were compared with correlations from published literature with good agreement. Time-resolved surface heat transfer and passage velocity measurements were performed to investigate and quantify the effects of the turbulence on heat transfer and to correlate velocity fluctuations with heat transfer fluctuations. The data demonstrates strong coherence in velocity and heat flux at a frequency correlating with the most energetic eddies in the turbulence flow field (the integral length-scale). An analytical model was developed to predict increases in surface heat transfer due to freestream turbulence based on local measurements of turbulent velocity fluctuations (u'RMS) and length-scale (Lx). The model was shown to predict measured increases in heat flux on both blade surfaces in the current data. The model also successfully predicted the increases in heat transfer measured in other work in the literature, encompassing different geometries (flat plate, cylinder, turbine vane and turbine blade) as well as both laminar and turbulent boundary layers, but demonstrated limitations in predicting early transition and heat transfer in turbulent boundary layers. Model analyses in the frequency domain provided valuable insight into the scales of turbulence that are most effective at increasing surface heat transfer.

The inverse heat conduction task is solved to determine boundary condition of the heat equation. This work deals with the ways how to increase the accuracy of the results obtained by solving inverse task based on the Beck sequential algorithm. The work is focused on the boundary condition changing very fast. This boundary condition is determinable with difficulty. It is shown that the placement and the type of the thermocouple play major role in accuracy of the calculation. The frequency of measuring and the discriminability of used devices also play a role as well as the setup of parameters in the inverse task. The election of mentioned parameters is described with regard to the speed of cooling. Knowledge from the theoretical part of the work is applied in the experimental part. The cooling intensity is investigated during spraying of the steel sample by water with nanoparticles Al2O3, TiO2, Fe and MWNT at three different concentrations. The experiments were carried out for three spray heights (40, 100, 160 mm), three flow rates (1, 1.5, 2 kg/min) and two types of the nozzle (full cone and solid jet). Surprisingly, the cooling intensity by using nanofluids is lower about 30% in comparison to the cooling intensity of pure water. But there was an exception. The cooling intensity of 1 wt.% of carbon nanotubes in water falling from the full cone nozzle placed in distance of 100 mm from the steel surface was higher about 174%. Finally, the reasons of the behavior of nanofluids are discussed.

The high turbine inlet temperature of modern gas turbines poses a challenge to the material used in the turbine blading of the primary stages. Mechanical failure mechanisms are more pronounced at these high temperatures, setting the lifetime of the blade. It is therefore crucial to obtain accurate local metal temperature predictions of the turbine blade. Accurately predicting the external heat transfer coefficient (HTC) distribution of the blade is therefore of uttermost importance. At present time, Siemens Energy uses the boundary layer code TEXSTAN for this purpose. The limitations coupled to such codes however make them less applicable for the complex flow physics involved in the hot gas path of turbine blading. The thesis therefore aims at introducing CFD for calculating the external HTC. This includes conducting an extensive literature study to find and validate a suitable methodology. The literature study was centered around RANS modeling, reviewing how the calculation of the HTC has evolved and the performance of some common turbulence and transition models. From the literature study, the SST k − ω model in conjunction with the γ − Reθ transition model, the v2 − f model and the Lag EB k − ε model were chosen for the investigation of a suitable methodology. The validation of the methodology was based on the extensively studied LS89 vane linear cascade of the von Karman Institute. In total 13 test cases of the cascade were chosen to represent a wide range of flow conditions. Both a periodic model and a model of the entire LS89 cascade were tested but there were great uncertainties whether or not the correct flow conditions were achieved with the model of the entire cascade. It was therefore abandoned and a periodic model was used instead. The decay of turbulence intensity is not known in the LS89 cascade. This made the case difficult to model since the turbulence boundary conditions then were incomplete. Two approaches were attempted to handle this deficiency, where one was ultimately found invalid. It was recognized that the Steelant-Dick postulation could be used in order to find a turbulent length scale which when specified at the inlet, lead to fairly good agreement with data of the HTC. The validation showed that the SST γ − Reθ model performs relatively well on the suction side and in transition onset predictions but worse on the pressure side for certain flow conditions. The v2 − f model performed better on the pressure side and on a small portion of the suction side. Literature emphasized the importance of obtaining proper turbulence characteristics around the vane for accurate HTC-predictions. It was found that the results of the validation step could be closely coupled to this statement and that further work is needed regarding this. Further research must also be done on the Steelant-Dick postulation to validate it as a reliable method in prescribing the inlet length scale.

Resumo: Dois métodos de cocção (forno e chapa) e três temperaturas internas finais (65, 71 e 77°C) foram aplicados em contrafilé bovino (m. longissimus lumborum), com o objetivo de avaliar qual dos procedimentos proporciona a obtenção de um produto com perfil sensorial descritivo superior em relação à qualidade sensorial. As amostras de contrafilé, porção compreendida da 12º costela e a 2º vértebra lombar, de meias carcaças esquerdas de bovinos da raça Angus, da mesma idade e acabamento de gordura, foram coletadas e congeladas (-20ºC). Cada peça foi cortada em seis bifes de 2.54 cm, que foram embalados a vácuo e mantidos congelados. Os bifes foram distribuídos em seis tratamentos. Para a cocção, os bifes foram descongelados a 4°C por 24 horas antes das análises. As temperaturas internas foram monitoradas por meio de termopares inseridos no centro geométrico de cada bife. Para a perda de peso por cocção, houve interação significativa do método de cocção X temperatura interna final (p=0.002). O aumento da temperatura aumentou constantemente as perdas por cocção em ambos os métodos de cocção, de 65ºC para 77ºC. A 65ºC e 71ºC as perdas por cocção foram similares entre forno e chapa, enquanto a 77ºC, as amostras assadas no forno tiveram as maiores perdas, provavelmente devido ao longo tempo de preparo. Para a força de cisalhamento, não houve interação do método de cocção X temperatura interna final (p=0.54). Os bifes preparados a 65°C e 71ºC tiveram menores valores de WBSF (p<0,05), enquanto que aqueles preparados a 77°C tiveram valores maiores (p<0,05). Na análise de aceitação, a aparência, o aroma e o sabor tiveram maior aceitação nas amostras preparadas no forno elétrico em temperaturas mais altas, entretanto a maciez e a suculência tiveram maior aceitação nas amostras preparadas em temperaturas mais baixas, independente do método de cocção. Os bifes grelhados na chapa elétrica a 65°C foram melhores, porque proporcionaram a obtenção de uma amostra com aceitação significativamente superior em relação a todas as características sensoriais analisadas. Na Análise Descritiva Quantitativa, os bifes do forno e da chapa a 65°C foram principalmente caracterizados pelos atributos de aroma e sabor de sangue, sabor metálico, suculência, maciez, suculência aparente e cor interna vermelha. Na análise tempo-intensidade, a Imáx do estímulo maciez e suculência foi significativamente maior (p<0,05) no forno elétrico em relação à chapa elétrica. E em relação às temperaturas a Imáx das amostras submetidas a 65 e 71ºC não diferiram (p>0,05), mas diferiram (p<0,05) das amostras a 77ºC. O Ttot não foi diferente (p>0,05) para as amostras nos métodos de cocção e nas temperaturas internas finais para os estímulos de maciez e suculência. Portanto sugere-se que as diferenças encontradas pelos assessores na maciez e suculência das amostras, foram percebidas somente a primeira mordida (Imáx). E durante a mastigação até a fase de deglutição (Ttot) não variaram, indicando que as amostras permaneceram igualmente homogêneas em relação aos dois atributos após a primeira mordida
Abstract: Two cooking methods (oven and griddles) and three end-point temperatures (65, 71 and 77°C) were applied in beef strip loin (m. longissimus lumborum), to assess which of the procedures provides a product with superior descriptive sensory profile in order to the sensory quality. Strip loin samples with the similar degree of fat thickness from the 12th rib to the second lumbar vertebra of the left side of the carcass of similarly age Angus steers were collected and frozen (-20ºC). Each piece was cut into six 2.54 cm thick steaks. The steaks remained vacuum packed and frozen. For cooking, the steaks were thawed at 4°C for 24 hours. The internal temperatures were monitored by thermocouples inserted in the geometric center of each steak. The interaction between cooking method and end-point temperature had a significant (P=0.002) impact on cooking loss. The increasing end-point temperature, constantly increase levels of cooking loss in both cooking methods, from 65ºC to 77ºC. At 65ºC and 71ºC the cooking loss were similar between oven and griddle, while at 77ºC the oven had the great loss, probably due to the long cooking. The interaction between cooking method and end-point temperature did not significantly impact (P=0.54) shear force. The steaks prepared at 65°C and 71ºC had lower (P<0.05) shear force values, while those prepared at 77°C had higher values (P<0.05). In acceptance analysis of appearance, aroma and flavor, samples cooked in electric oven, at higher temperatures, had the greater acceptance, however the tenderness and juiciness had greater acceptance in samples prepared at lower temperatures, regardless the method of cooking. Steaks grilled on the counter-top griddles at 65°C yielded a sample with a significantly greater acceptability in terms of all of the sensory characteristics analyzed. For Descriptive Quantitative Analysis, steaks prepared in oven and griddles at 65°C were mainly characterized by a blood aroma and flavor, a metallic flavor, juiciness, initial tenderness, apparent juiciness and internal red color. In the time-intensity analysis, the Imax values for tenderness and juiciness stimuli was higher (P<0.05) for the samples subjected to the electric oven as compared to the electric griddles. Regarding the temperatures, although the Imax for tenderness and juiciness of the samples subjected to temperatures of 65 and 71ºC were not different (P>0.05), it differed (P<0.05) from the samples at 77ºC. The Ttot value was not different (P>0.05) for both cooking methods and end-point temperatures in relation to the stimuli tenderness and juiciness. It can be suggested that the differences on tenderness and juiciness found by the assessors were noted only at first bite (Imax). Perception of tenderness and juiciness during chewing to swallowing (Ttot) did not vary, indicating that the samples remained homogeneous for both attributes after the first bite

The path to future aero-engines with more efficient engine architectures requires advanced thermal management technologies to handle the demand of refrigeration and lubrication. Oil systems, holding a double function as lubricant and coolant circuits, require supplemental cooling sources to the conventional fuel based cooling systems as the current oil thermal capacity becomes saturated with future engine developments. The present research focuses on air/oil coolers, which geometrical characteristics and location are designed to minimize aerodynamic effects while maximizing the thermal exchange. The heat exchangers composed of parallel fins are integrated at the inner wall of the secondary duct of a turbofan. The analysis of the interaction between the three-dimensional high velocity bypass flow and the heat exchangers is essential to evaluate and optimize the aero-thermodynamic performances, and to provide data for engine modeling. The objectives of this research are the development of engine testing methods alternative to flight testing, and the characterization of the aerothermal behavior of different finned heat exchanger configurations. A new blow-down wind tunnel test facility was specifically designed to replicate the engine bypass flow in the region of the splitter. The annular sector type test section consists on a complex 3D geometry, as a result of three dimensional numerical flow simulations. The flow evolves over the splitter duplicated at real scale, guided by helicoidally shaped lateral walls. The development of measurement techniques for the present application involved the design of instrumentation, testing procedures and data reduction methods. Detailed studies were focused on multi-hole and fine wire thermocouple probes. Two types of test campaigns were performed dedicated to: flow measurements along the test section for different test configurations, i.e. in the absence of heat exchangers and in the presence of different heat exchanger geometries, and heat transfer measurements on the heat exchanger. As a result contours of flow velocity, angular distributions, total and static pressures, temperatures and turbulence intensities, at different bypass duct axial positions, as well as wall pressures along the test section, were obtained. The analysis of the flow development along the test section allowed the understanding of the different flow behaviors for each test configuration. Comparison of flow variables at each measurement plane permitted quantifying and contrasting the different flow disturbances. Detailed analyses of the flow downstream of the heat exchangers were assessed to characterize the flow in the fins¿ wake region. The aerodynamic performance of each heat exchanger configuration was evaluated in terms of non dimensional pressure losses. Fins convective heat transfer characteristics were derived from the infrared fin surface temperature measurements through a new methodology based on inverse heat transfer methods coupled with conductive heat flux models. The experimental characterization permitted to evaluate the cooling capacity of the investigated type of heat exchangers for the design operational conditions. Finally, the thermal efficiency of the heat exchanger at different points of the flight envelope during a typical commercial mission was estimated by extrapolating the convective properties of the flow to flight conditions.

The development of the constant voltage anemometer (CVA) for the boundary layer data system (BLDS) has been motivated by a need for the explicit autonomous measurement of velocity fluctuations in the boundary layer. The frequency response of a sensor operated by CVA has been studied analytically and experimentally. The thermal lag of the sensor is quantified by a time constant, MCVA. When the time constant is decreased, the half-amplitude cut-off frequency, fCVA, is increased, thereby decreasing the amount of attenuation during measurements. In this thesis, three main approaches have been outlined in theory and tested experimentally to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing them with CVA to limit attenuation: operation at higher Vw, implementation of software compensation, and utilization of smaller diameter sensors. Operation of CVA at higher voltage results in little improvement in frequency response but is accompanied by increased danger of wire burnout. However, sensors do need to be operated at high wire voltages to be more sensitive to velocity fluctuations and less sensitive to temperature fluctuations, without reaching a temperature high enough for wire burnout. Software compensation of the CVA output has been shown not to be useful for measurements with BLDS. The electrical noise present in the CVA measurement system is amplified by the correction algorithm and creates measurements that are not representative of the fluctuations being measured. Decreasing sensor diameter leads to a significant decrease of MCVA and therefore increase of fCVA. Under similar operating conditions, a 2.5 micron diameter sensor showed less roll off in the frequency spectra (measured higher turbulence intensities) than a 3.8 micron diameter sensor for tests in both a turbulent jet and in a turbulent boundary layer. Smaller sensors are more fragile and have been shown to have a decrease in sensitivity as compared to larger sensors; however, for some applications, the increase in frequency response may be worth the trade-off with fragility and sensitivity.

Дисертація присвячена дослідженню двох типів металевих пористих матеріалів, що можуть застосовуватися у якості капілярних структур теплових труб, – моноволокнистих та композиційних волокнисто-порошкових структур. У результаті досліджень процесів теплопровідності металевих пористих матеріалів отримано залежності для інженерних розрахунків теплопровідності каркасу моноволокнистих і композиційних матеріалів. На основі експериментальних досліджень впливу характеристик металевих волокнистих матеріалів на процеси кипіння в умовах вільного руху води запропоновано формулу для інженерних розрахунків температурних напорів початку кипіння води на металопористих поверхнях. Експериментальні дані дозволили порівняти реальні значення коефіцієнтів тепловіддачі α з даними, отриманими за уточненою в даній роботі моделлю кипіння на пористих поверхнях. У результаті уточнення вдалося значно наблизити розраховані за моделлю величини α до експериментально отриманих даних і підтвердити адекватність моделі. Із застосуванням моделі було уточнено методику визначення внутрішнього термічного опору теплових труб з металевими пористими структурами. Виконаний цикл експериментальних досліджень теплових труб з металоволокнистими і теплових труб з композиційними капілярними структурами показав, що при роботі в горизонтальному положенні останні не поступаються за основними характеристиками тепловим трубам з волокнистими капілярними структурами, до того ж перевершують їх за максимальною теплопередавальною здатністю при роботі проти сил гравітації.
The dissertation is devoted to the investigation of two types of metal porous materials, which can be used as capillary structures of heat pipes – monofibrous and composite fibrous-powder structures. The dependences for engineering calculations of frame thermal conductivity for monofibrous and composite materials were obtained after the experiments of heat conduction processes in metallic porous materials. Multi-factor dependence for calculations of temperature difference of the water boiling beginning on metallic porous surfaces was proposed on the basis of the experimental studies of boiling in free water flow. The obtained experimental data allowed to compare the real values of heat transfer coefficients α with the data obtained by the model of boiling on porous surfaces (the KPI model) specified in the dissertation. As a result of model elaboration, It became possible to bring the calculated  values obtained by the experiments to the model calculated α values and to confirm the adequacy of the model. It was refined the method of internal thermal resistance determining in heat pipes with metal porous structures by the application of the KPI model. The cycle of experimental studies of heat pipes with monofibrous and composite capillary structures showed, that in horizontal position heat pipes with composite structures do not concede with the main characteristics (maximum heat transfer capacity and thermal resistance) to the heat pipes with monofibrous capillary structures. In addition, maximum heat transfer capacity of composite heat pipes has higher values, than the same one of mono-fibrous pipes, when working against the forces of gravity.
Диссертация посвящена исследованию двух типов металлических пористых материалов, которые могут быть использованы в качестве капиллярных структур тепловых труб – моноволокнистых и композиционных волокнисто-порошковых структур. В результате исследований процессов теплопроводности металлических пористых материалов получены зависимости для инженерных расчетов теплопроводности каркаса моноволокнистих и композиционных материлов. Многофакторные зависимости характеризуют взаимосвязь между теплопроводностью каркаса материалов и их структурными характеристиками. Однофакторные функции вида λ кс = f(П) позволили сравнить теплопроводность композиционных и моноволокнистих структур, в результате чего было установлено, что коэффициенты теплопроводности λ кс композиционных капиллярных структур несколько ниже, чем у моноволокнистых структур, для одинаковых диапазонов пористости. Однако это различие в значениях λ кс является незначительным. На основе экспериментальных исследований влияния характеристик металлических волокнистых материалов на процессы кипения в условиях свободного движения воды предложено формулу для инженерных расчетов температурных напоров начала кипения воды на металловолокнистых пористых поверхностях. Полученные в работе результаты удовлетворительно коррелируются с известными данными, однако существуют и определенные различия, которые влияют на уменьшение температурных напоров закипания при одинаковых значениях пористости капиллярных структур. Исследование температурного напора начала кипения на пористых поверхностях позволило определить, что для пористых медных образцов данный температурный напор составляет 0,5-2,0 ⁰С, в то время как температурный напор начала кипения на относительно «гладких» технических поверхностях – от 7 до 12 ⁰С. Экспериментальные данные позволили сравнить реальные значения коэффициентов теплоотдачи α с данными, полученными по уточненной в данной работе модели кипения на пористых поверхностях (модель КПИ). В результате уточнения удалось значительно приблизить рассчитаные по модели величины α к экспериментальным значениям и подтвердить адекватнисть модели. Анализ полученных экспериментальных данных кипения на металлических пористых поверхностях свидетельствует о том, что медные волокнистые структуры средней пористости (40-50 %) в диапазоне толщин от 0,5 до 1,0 мм позволяют обеспечить наибольшие значения коэффициентов теплоотдачи α, по сравнению с металлическими волокнистыми структурами других диапазонов пористостей и толщин, исследованными в данной работе. Также с применением модели кипения КПИ была уточнена методика определения внутреннего термического сопротивления тепловых труб с металлическими пористыми структурами. Выполненный цикл экспериментальных исследований тепловых труб с металло-волокнистыми и композиционными капиллярными структурами с использованием этанола в качестве теплоносителя показал, что в горизонтальном положении и в положении «режим термосифона» тепловые трубы с капиллярными структурами обоих типов обеспечивают стабильное функционирование в диапазоне тепловых потоков до 70 Вт. При этом термические сопротивления тепловых труб с «новым» типом капиллярных структур не превышают термические сопротивления труб, изготовленных на основе моноволокнистых структур. В положениях, когда зона нагрева трубы находится выше, чем зона охлаждения, композиционные капиллярные структуры нового типа обеспечивают стабильное функционирование для тепловых потоков до 25 Вт, что является более высоким показателем, чем у тепловых труб с моноволокнистыми структурами (10-15 Вт). Последний факт нужно учитывать при конструировании аппаратов и приборов с тепловыми трубами.

Ce travail de thèse vise à comprendre et analyser les échanges thermiques qui ont lieu entre un bâtiment et son environnement en présence de parois végétalisées « intensives ». Nous présentons dans ce manuscrit, une démarche numérique et expérimentale sur l’évaluation de l’incidence thermique de ces Murs Végétalisés (MV). Une plateforme constituée de trois prototypes identiques (3 mini-laboratoires thermiques) sous conditions climatiques réelles a été conçue et instrumentée. Dans un premier temps, deux écrans permettant une variation rapide et graduelle des taux de couvertures de 10 à 100% ont été ajoutés devant les prototypes. Ainsi, plusieurs séries de mesures ont été effectuées et des réductions significatives au niveau des températures et des flux de chaleur ont été enregistrées et interprétées. Cette démarche expérimentale avait pour premier objectif de mettre en oeuvre une occultation artificielle et donc maîtrisée. Un premier modèle a été développé sur la base de l’écriture des équations de bilan des échanges thermiques entre la paroi à occultation variable et son environnement climatique. Ce modèle confronté aux résultats fournis par l’expérimentation apermis de valider les approches théoriques au niveau des transferts radiatifs et convectifs. Dans un deuxième temps, le premier modèle qui a été développé dans ce travail a été adapté au cas d’une occultation « réelle » par de la végétation (lierre ou vigne vierge) puis validé expérimentalement. Il a été finalement implémenté dans un code de simulation thermique dynamique de bâtiment (TRNSYS), et ainsi l’incidence thermique des murs végétalisés simples (intensifs) a pu être évaluée à l’échelle réelle d’un bâtiment. Les résultats de simulations pour un climat tempéré montrent que la présence des plantes à feuilles persistantes a un impact négatif sur la demande énergétique hivernale. A l’inverse, en période estivale, les résultats montrent que les murs végétalisés ont un intérêt au niveau de la limitation des surchauffes. Leur présence réduit alors notablement la consommation énergétique nécessaire pour « climatiser » le bâtiment et améliore ainsi le confort thermique intérieur
This PhD thesis aims to understand and analyse the heat exchanges that occur between a building and its environment in the presence of intensive vegetated walls. In this manuscript, a numerical and experimental approach to evaluate the thermal impact of green walls is presented. A platform composed of three identical prototypes (3 thermal mini-laboratories) under real weather conditions has been designed and instrumented. As a first step, two screens permitting a rapid and gradual variation of coverage rate from 10 to 100% were added to the prototypes. Thus, several series of measurements were performed and significant reductions in temperature and heat flow were recorded and interpreted. The primary objective of this experimental approach was to implement an artificial shading and thus controlled. A first model was developed based on the writing of heat exchanges energy balance equations between the wall with variable coverage rate and its climatic environment. This model confronted to the experimental results allowed the validation of the theoreticalapproaches at the level of radiative and convective heat transfer. Secondly, the first model that was developed in this work has been adapted to the case of a "real" occultation by vegetation (Ivy or Virginia creeper) then validated experimentally.It was finally implemented in a dynamic thermal simulation code (TRNSYS), and thus the thermal impact of green walls were evaluated at the real scale of a building. Simulation results in a temperate climate show that the presence of evergreen plants has a negative impact on winter energy demand. Conversely, in summer, the results show that green walls have an interest in limiting overheating. Their presence significantly reduces energy consumption needed to cool the building and improves the indoor thermal comfort

The master thesis deals with measures to reduce energy performance of grocery store building. Model of the grocery store is evaluated according to a recommended energy values specified by Czech standards and according to the real values of the actual consumption. These values are compared. Final building analysis for a proposal measures to reduce energy consumption is based on the invoices of the real consumption and on the experimental assignments. Experimental measurements are the Blower door test of the tightness of the building envelope, the measures with the thermovision camera and the measuring of the illumination intensity. The most efficient proposal is extended to the whole model network of the food shops in the Czech Republic.

Progress in scientific computing has led to major advances in simulation and understanding of the different physical phenomena that exist in industrial gas turbines. However' most of these advances have focused on solving one problem at a time. Indeed' the combustion problem is solved independently from the thermal or radiation problems' etc... In reality all these problems interact: one speaks of coupled problems. Thus performing coupled computations can improve the quality of simulations and provide gas turbines engineers with new design tools. Recently' solutions have been developed to handle multiple physics simultaneously using generic solvers. However' due to their genericity these solutions reveal to be ineffective on expensive problems such as Large Eddy Simulation (LES). Another solution is to perform code coupling: specialized codes are connected together' one for each problem and they exchange data periodically. In this thesis a conjugate heat transfer problem is considered. A fluid domain solved by a combustion LES solver is coupled with a solid domain in which the conduction problem is solved. Implementing this coupled problem raises multiple issues which are addressed in this thesis. Firstly' the specific problem of coupling an LES solver to a conduction solver is considered: the impact of the inter-solver exchange frequency on convergence' possible temporal aliasing' and stability of the coupled system is studied. Then interpolation and geometrical issues are addressed: a conservative interpolation method is developed and compared to other methods. These methods are then applied to an industrial configuration' highlighting the problems and solutions specific to complex geometry. Finally' high performance computing (HPC) is considered: an efficient method to perform data exchange and interpolation between parallel codes is developed. This work has been applied to an aeronautical combustion chamber configuration.
