Reducing building energy consumption and estimating the durability of structures are ongoing challenges in the current regulatory framework and construction practice. They suppose a significant increase of the level of detail for simulating the physical phenomena of Civil Engineering to achieve a reliable prediction of structures.Building is the centre of multi-scale, coupled phenomena ranging from the micro (or even nano) to the macro-scale, thus implying complex couplings between materials such as sorption-desorption process which influences the intrinsic properties of matter such as mechanical resistance, mass transfer, thermal conductivity, energy storage or durability.Applied numerical methods allow for the resolution of some of these problems by using multi-grid computing, multi-scale coupling or massive parallelisation in order to substantially reduce the computing time.The present work is intended to evaluate the suitability of the “lattice Boltzmann method” applied to several applications in building physics. This numerical method, said to be “mesoscopic”, starts from the thermodynamic statistical behaviour of a group of fluid particles, mimicking the macroscopic behaviour thanks to a consistent extrapolation across the scales.After having studied the comparative advantages of the method and the oscillatory behaviour it displays under some circumstances, we present - An application to the diffusive properties of cementitious materials during hydration via numerical homogenization and cluster-computing numerical campaign - An application to building energy with the modeling of a solar active wall in forced convection simulated on a graphical processing unit

In many energy systems fluids play a fundamental role, and computational simulations are a valuable tool to study their complex dynamics. The Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is a relatively new numerical method for computational fluid dynamics, but its applications can be extended to physical phenomena beyond fluid flows. This thesis presents applications of the LBM to thermal fluid dynamics and energy systems. Specific applications considered are: application to nuclear reactor engineering problems; thermal fluid dynamic behavior of a Natural Circulation Loop; nanoparticles gravitational sedimentation; acoustical problems. The main original contributions derived from this work are: first, the systematic description of the current status of LBM applications to nuclear reactors problems, including test cases and benchmark simulations; second, the development and validation of a LBM model for a single-phase natural circulation loop; third, the development and validation of a LBM model for gravitational sedimentation of nanoparticles, and fourth, the systematic description of the current status of LBM applications to acoustics, including simulations of test cases. The development of this thesis was not limited to simulations; experimental studies in parallel connected natural circulation loops of small inner diameter were conducted, showing the wide applicability of the one-dimensional theoretical models used to validate the LBM results. Additional contributions derived from this work: 1. the applicability of the method to study neutron transport and nuclear waste disposal using porous materials was shown. 2. changes in the thermophysical performance of the natural circulation loop when the loop reached a non-laminar (transition) regime were found at a Reynolds number lower than the typical range. 3. variable diffusion and sedimentation parameters were effective to model the experimental sedimentation curves. In conclusion, this work shows that the LBM is a versatile and powerful computational tool that can be used beyond the common Computational Fluid Dynamics applications.
Wissocq, Gauthier. "Investigation of lattice Boltzmann methods for turbomachinery secondary air system simulations." Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019AIXM0635.
This thesis provides an investigation on the use of lattice Boltzmann methods to treat turbomachinery secondary cooling systel flows. The combination of complex physical phenomena (rotating environment with high temperature fluctuations) gives rise to unsteady, non-axisymmetric structures with a priori unknown periodicity. Their modelling, required for a correct heat transfer prediction, represents a challenge for numerical simulations in fluid mechanics. This work can be divided into three sub-sections. A physical study of the instabilities at the origin of unsteady structures is first carried out by analyzing the linear stability of the flows. Lattice Boltzmann methods are then introduced and their numerical stability issues are studied through analyses based on the von Neumann approach. Finally, the method is assessed on academic simulations of increasing complexity representative of secondary air systems, requiring conjugate heat transfer simulations

Cao, Weijin. "Investigation of the applicability of the lattice Boltzmann method to free-surface hydrodynamic problems in marine engineering." Thesis, Ecole centrale de Nantes, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019ECDN0011/document.
The numerical simulation of the freesurface flows for marine engineering applications is a very challenging issue in the field of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). In this thesis, we propose a solution, which is to use the regularized lattice Boltzmann method (RLBM) with a volume-of-fluid (VOF) based single-phase free-surface lattice Boltzmann (LB) model, and we investigate its feasibility and its reliability. The theoretical insights of the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) are given at first, through the Hermite expansion and the Chapman-Enskog analysis. From this perspective, the idea of the RLBM is summarized as the Hermite regularization of the distribution functions. On the test-cases of the Taylor-Green vortex and the lid-driven cavity flow, the RLBM is verified to have a 2nd-order accuracy and an improved stability. The adopted free-surface model is then implemented into the RLBM and validated through simulating a viscous standing wave and a dambreak flow problems. It is shown that the regularization not only strongly stabilizes the calculation by reducing spurious pressure oscillations, which is very beneficial for obtaining accurate free-surface motions, but also does not introduce any extra numerical dissipation. Furthermore, a new reconstruction method for the distribution functions at the free-surface is proposed. The present model is more consistent with the RLBM, which provides an effective way for simulating high-Reynoldsnumber free-surface flows in marine engineering

Flüssigkeitsfilmströmungen kommen in vielen verfahrenstechnischen Prozessen zum Einsatz. Zur Unterstützung von Experimenten sind theoretische und numerische Untersuchungen nötig. Stand der Technik ist es, Navier--Stokes-basierte Modelle zu verwenden, wohingegen hier die Lattice-Boltzmann-Methode verwendet wird. Das finale Modell wurde unter Verwendung eines Zweiphasen- und eines Wärmeübertragungsmodell entwickelt und geeignete Rand- und Anfangsbedingungen formuliert. Alle Untermodelle wurden anhand einfacher Testfälle überprüft. Es konnte herausgefunden werden, dass das Zweiphasenmodell Strömungen großer Dichteunterschiede rechnen kann, was eindrucksvoll im Zusammenhang mit Wandrandbedingungen gezeigt wurde. Das Wärmeübertragungsmodell wurde gegen eine Spektrallösung anhand eines transienten und nichtuniformen Strömungsproblemes getestet. Stationäre Filmströmungen zeigten sehr gute Übereinstimmungen mit OpenFOAM-Lösungen und instationäre Berechungen bewiesen, dass das Model auch solche Strömungen abbilden kann

In this thesis, a numerical study is carried out on the coupling phenomena between natural convection and surface radiation in square cavities whose walls are subjected to discrete or non-uniform temperatures. Indeed, the first study carried out is concerned with a problem of convection-radiation coupling in a square cavity inclined and filled with air, having on one side a wall heated at a constant temperature and on the opposite side, a wall heated linearly. The remaining walls are considered adiabatic. In the second study, the cavity has partially heated vertical walls (symmetrically and asymmetrically), a cooled upper wall and an adiabatic bottom wall. The objective of these numerical studies is to analyze the effect of surface radiation and the different governing parameters (heating mode, Rayleigh number, angle of inclination, temperature difference) on the flow structure and the heat transfer. The second objective of this thesis is to test the performance of the multiple relaxation time (MRT) scheme of the Lattice-Boltzmann method (LBM) in the presence of convection radiation coupling. The results of this study revealed that the considered governing parameters have a significant effect on the flow structure and heat transfer through the cavity

This work aims at developing an adjoint solver in ProLB, the aerodynamic software based on the Lattice-Boltzmann method used by Renault. The adjoint solver makes it possible to calculate the surface sensitivities of the aerodynamic forces acting on an obstacle, such as a vehicle, with respect to its shape. The final purpose is to deform it, using morphing techniques based on a fixed step gradient descent method, in order to reduce its drag. First, the step by step development process of the adjoint solver is shown through 2D laminar test cases. The choice of the drag force expression is important because it has an impact on the complexity of the adjoint equations and on the gradient calculation. It is shown that calculating the drag force in the wake of the obstacle is more adequate than calculating it on the obstacle directly. The aim being to minimize the time-averaged drag force, it is demonstrated that the best trade-off between the gradients accuracy and the computation cost is obtained by time-averaging the unsteady direct field. Then, the study of 3D large-scale turbulent cases shows that the algorithms used for the 2D laminar cases are not stable enough to be used in this more complicated context. Changes have therefore been brought to the adjoint solver, in order to use it in an industrial context. Every assumption used for the development of the adjoint solver is justified and referenced. The adjoint solver is finally applied to an industrial test case. It gives a sensitivity map on a vehicle in a high Reynolds number flow. A complete optimization loop is performed, using a smoothing step on the sensitivities, and gives a 5% reduction of the drag force

In this thesis, a LBM MPMC model with heat exchange is developed. Data assimilation tests and optical flow measurements are made in order to validate the model. The application context of this thesis is the mixture of a cryogenic fluid with water. In the first part, a bibliographical work reminding the Boltzmann equation and its various assumptions and simplifications, as well as the algorithmic aspect of the LBM are exposed. A comparison between SRT and MRT collision operator is performed, and a simulation of turbulent phenomena at different Reynolds numbers is studied, especially with the benchmark of the instability from Von Karman. In the second part, the MPMC model from Shan & Chen is reminded and extended to the case of the inter-component heat exchanges. Quantitative validations are made, especially with the benchmark of a two-phase or two-component Couette fluid. Consistency is tested against Laplace's law rule, or against a benchmark involving heat conduction. Qualitative testing of condensations in a multi-component medium are proposed to validate the heat exchange between components in the presence of a phase transition. In the third part of this thesis, a validation method for data assimilation is introduced, with the ensemble Kalman filter. A state estimation test of a bi-phase fluid is realized, and compatibility of the ensemble Kalman filtering to the LBM MPMC model is assessed. For validation of the behavior of the model for a two-component case, a substitution fluid (non-cryogenic) for LNG, butane, was selected to permit observations in experimental conditions which are accessible. Then, an experimental platform of injection of liquid butane in a pressurised water column is presented. Shadowgraph images from liquid butane experiments in water are exposed and an optical flow calculation algorithm is applied to these images. A qualitative assessment of the velocity field obtaines by application of this algorithm is performed

The work reported in this thesis consists in a discrete modelling of the backward front propagation of an erosion pipe, as can take place in embankment dams or dikes. Some numerical tools have been developed to this end, based on the coupling between the Discrete Element Method (DEM) and the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) for the representation of the solid and uid phases, respectively. The implementation of DEM follows a standard molecular dynamics approach and the interaction among grains are regulated by unilteral frictional visco-elastic and breakable visco-elastic bonds, in order to take into account a slightly cohesive soil behaviour. The LBM was implemented according to the Multiple Relaxation Time (MRT) scheme along with an interpolated non-slip conditions for moving boundaries, in order to improve the numerical stability of the calculations. The coupling scheme is described along with the criteria for the numerical parameters of the two methods. A representative specimen of a granular soil located at the front of an erosion pipe is first assembled by a \dry" preparation precedure and then tested under fully-saturated conditions and increasing hydraulic load over time. Backward erosion is takes place in the form of clusters of grain being eroded at the erosion front after a degradation of the material due to the breakage of tensile bonds. The other interesting feature that was observed is the creation of arches of compressive force chains. These arches enabled the specimen to maintain a stable or metastable configuration under the increasing hydraulic load

The main goal of this work is to study the capacities of the Lattice Boltzmann Method in a constrained numerical framework : that of numerical simulation in automotive aeroacoustics with non-uniform meshes, at high Reynolds number and non egligible Mach number (Ma > 0.1). The industrial problem is the computation of the interior aerodynamic noise, which includes as its first decisive step the computation of the unsteady wall pressure field on the car windows. It was observed that a lack of precision on the weak acoustic part of the total pressure field on the driver-side window, which is most probably due to errors at mesh refinement interfaces, caused an overestimation of the interior noise. We first present a coherent and unified construction of the Lattice BoltzmannMethod from the Boltzmann equation, in an athermal weakly compressible framework. Then, we study in details the aeroacoustic properties of the LBM by reviewingall the main families of collisional operators that exist in the literature. A variant of multiple relaxation time operator that can be used for aeroacoustics is presented and tested. A simplified alternative selective filter, fast and compact, is developped and numerically validated. The problem of non-uniform meshes is discussed. An exhaustive review of the LBM studies that have been carried out within that framework shows that none of them corresponds to our constraints. Alternative transition nodes algorithms are developed. Finally, all the developed models of this work are applied to industrial cases

The control of the emission of carbon black is an important task in many fields of application, with the transport sector being one of the most important domains. Diesel engines, still being extensively used worldwide, are one of the main contributors to the anthropogenic emission of carbon black. In order to counteract the detrimental effect of carbon black on human health, exhaust gas treatment has been the focal point of research for many decades.State of the art soot filters use a ceramic honey-comb structure, acting as wall flow filters. These filters require periodic regeneration once a critical filter back-pressure is reached. Regeneration is conduced either as active regeneration at elevated temperatures (>600 °C) or continuously, as passive regeneration at temperatures starting from 300 °C. The necessary exhaust gas temperature of active regeneration results in a fuel penalty, making the precise control of the regeneration process imperative. Previous works suggested that the mesoscopic morphology of soot and its evolution during soot combustion influence the reactivity, thus affecting the regeneration process. Hence, the control of the regeneration system requires precise knowledge of the physical and chemical phenomena at hand, necessitating simulations of the regeneration process.In this thesis, a simulation framework to model gas flow, consisting of the different reactive species, taking into account solid-gas interactions, is created. Furthermore, conjugate heat transfer, heterogeneous reactions and the release of reaction heat at the interface between the solid and gas phases is treated. For this purpose, the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), due to its mesoscopic nature, is chosen as an excellent tool to model the heterogeneous combustion on the pore scale. Within this thesis, a LBM framework is created and appropriate methods to model soot combustion are chosen and extensively validated. A procedure to use focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) data of realistic soot samples for the combustion simulation is implemented. Furthermore, the combustion regimes are analysed based on variation of Péclet number, Damköhler number, and oxygen mass fraction in the inlet gas stream. Simulations with realistic soot geometries are performed and the results are compared with experimental results. It is found that the evolution of the specific reactive surface, as received from LBM simulations, is not comparable to the experimental results. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis and Raman spectra of the soot before and after combustion experiments revealed that combustion affects the primary particles on the nano-scale. For this reason, a separate model to describe the heterogeneous primary particles and their combustion was created. Subsequently, first simulations with scale-coupling were conducted, by connecting the mesoscopic LBM simulations with the primary particle design on the nano-scale. It is shown that a more realistic increase in specific surface could be achieved in simulations by coupling the mesoscopic LBM model with a nano-scale primary particle model

Renewable energy development calls for exploitation of new energy resources. Tidal stream power harvesting is now close to the industrialisation step. Still, turbulent hydrodynamic conditions at tidal sites are not well understood. This thesis aims to investigate the local scale effect of sea bottom roughnesses on energetic vortex generation with computational fluid simulations using the lattice Boltzmann method. This method is highly indicated for unsteady flow simulations of complex domains. First, the physical phenomena involved in vortex emission around canonical macroroughnesses are described. Vortex merging is identified in the generation process of energetic vortices. Then, such physical events are reproduced in the case of environmental flow simulations using a real seabed morphology. These simulations are validated on in situ measured data, and lead to a better understanding of the sea bottom effect on tidal stream site turbulence. They demonstrate the role of geological faults on the local turbulence

This PhD thesis concerns computer modeling of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The main attention is centered on imaging of vascular structures. Such imaging is influenced not only by vascular geometries but also by blood flow which has to been taken into account in modeling. Next to the question about the quality of developed models, the challenge lies also in the demand for high performance computing. Thus, in order to manage computationally complex problems, parallel computing is in use. In the thesis three solutions are proposed. The first one concerns parallel algorithms of vascular network modeling. Algorithms for different architectures are proposed. The first algorithm is based on the message passing model and thus, it is suited for distributed memory architectures. It parallelizes the process of connecting new parts of tissue to existing vascular structures. The second algorithm is designed for shared memory machines. It also parallelizes the perfusion process, but individual processors perform calculations concerning different vascular trees. The third algorithm combines message passing and shared memory approaches providing solutions for hybrid parallel architectures. Developed algorithms are able to substantially speed up the time-demanded simulations of growth of complex vascular networks. As a result, more elaborate and precise vascular structures can be simulated in a reasonable period of time. It can also help to extend the vascular model and to test multiple sets of parameters. Secondly, a new approach in computational modeling of magnetic resonance (MR) flow imaging is proposed. The approach combines the flow computation by lattice Boltzmann method, MRI simulation by following discrete local magnetizations in time and a new magnetization transport algorithm together. Results demonstrate that such an approach is able to naturally incorporate the flow influence in MRI modeling. As a result, in the proposed model, no additional mechanism (unlike in prior works) is needed to consider flow artifacts, what implies its easy extensibility. In combination with its low computational complexity and efficient implementation, the solution is a user-friendly and manageable at different levels tool which facilitates running series of simulations with different physiological and imaging parameters. The goal of the third solution is to apply the proposed MR flow imaging model on complex vascular networks. To this aim, models of vascular networks, flow behavior and MRI are combined together. In all the model components, computations are adapted to be performed at various parallel architectures. The model potential and possibilities of simulations of flow and MRI in complex vascular structures are shown. The model aims at explaining and exploring MR image formation and appearance by the combined knowledge from many processes and systems, starting from vascular geometry, through flow patterns and ending on imaging technology
Asta, Adelchi Jacques. "Listening to the electrical noise for nanofluidic sensing". Thesis, Sorbonne université, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019SORUS444.
Moving from microfluidics, which is now a well-established field, to nanofluidics requires the development of computational tools. Using the Lattice Boltzmann Electrokinetics (LBE) method, we can couple the Navier-Stokes equation with the Poisson-Nernst Planck theory and thus study charged confined fluids at the nanoscale. Electrochemists have begun to use the electrical fluctuations arising from them to extract information on the interfacial phenomena and thus the underlying microscopic processes (e.g. single molecule detection, adsorption/desorption). This requires to be able to model nanocapacitors with a constant potential difference between the two electrodes, which was the main novelty added to the LBE algorithm. Finally by coupling this method with the moment propagation method, we have been able to provide an efficient computational tool capable to analyse, hydrodynamic, electrokinetic, adsorption/desorption and finite size effects in fluids confined at the nanoscale, for arbitrary geometries, in both linear and non-linear regimes, as well as in the transient and steady state regimes. Within the context of electrical noise, the temporal charge response to a voltage perturbation can be linked to the impedance and thus to the electrical fluctuations. In the future we will also be able to study the electrokinetic response related to the cross correlation response between mass and electric currents

Over the past two decades, the economic context has changed significantly due to the rise in energy prices. The building sector has become the main consumer of energy. Thereby, reducing the latter is now an economic, societal and environmental necessity. Accordingly, this topic mobilizes many researches. Phase Change Materials (PCMs) represent an innovative solution, which could improve buildings' energy performance. They are primarily used for temperature regulation, and their high storage capacity can reduce energy consumption.Our study aims at characterizing, via a complementary approach of experimental and numerical simulation, the behavior of a PCM (n-Octadecane). For this, we have developed and implemented a numerical model that corroborates the experimental results, and hence improves the prediction of the PCM performance.In this work, our main concern is to highlight the common errors or simplifications taken in the traditional numerical model, which can result in an overall discrepancy compared to the actual behavior of PCMs. Those discrepancies lead to wrong estimation of the fusion times and amount of energy stored. The major improvement of our model is the consideration of the natural convection, the supercooling, and the use of real enthalpy curves of the considered PCM. The actual temperature-enthalpy relationship takes into account the presence of a fraction of soluble impurities in the material. The originality of this work is to handle these physical phenomena via a lattice Boltzmann method (known by the acronym LBM), which leans on double distribution functions and coupled with the enthalpy formulation. Such an approach overcomes the non-linearity in the governing equations of fluid flow and heat transfer. Its simplicity and local character allow adding complexity to the model. Thereby, one can cover up the phase change problems, including those, which may occur in heterogeneous matrices. This last point has been also covered in this thesis.Finally, it turned out that the approach implemented here for phase change problems supports both, our experimental results and those available in the literature

In pre-stressed concrete structures, creep and shrinkage tend to reduce the pre-stress forces which are initially produced so as to maintain concrete in a state minimizing traction forces and then cracks. Understanding and predicting these phenomena through models are thus highly important for the design and durability of civil engineering structures, such as containment buildings in nuclear power plants.The objective of this thesis is to develop a micromechanical modeling framework to describe shrinkage and creep in cementitious materials in a unified manner. For this purpose, the study focuses on the scale of the porous structure of the C-S-H gel where the intrinsic mechanisms of delayed strains are active. A computational homogenization approach is developed to model these phenomena in porous structures with arbitrary morphologies. An explicit description of the porous network and of the liquid phase of water during the drying/humidification process is taken into account. The mechanisms related to delayed strains in the solid phase are modeled by the microprestress-solidification theory (MPS). The simulations at the microscale are conductedbased on an original approach coupling the Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and the finite element method (FEM). The LBM is used to describe the distribution of capillary water in the porous structure, whereas the FEM serves as modeling the strain of the solid skeleton under the capillary water effets and a macroscopic load.The proposed method allows, by means of the simulations, to better understand the mechanisms related to the capillary effects in the porous structure. More specifically, taking into account realistic morphologies of microstructures and of the formed menisci lead to different regimes of shrinkage/swelling. Then, the effects of capillary pressure intensity, of surface tension and of morphologies of capillary surfaces on the elastic response of the solid skeleton are evaluated. Finally, the above approaches are extended to the case of a viscoelastic solid deformed under the action of the capillary water. From numerical observations, we propose a model is proposed to describe the creep and shrinkage of C-S-H gel in a unified way

This study examines the risks associated with the formation of an explosive atmosphere from a hydrogen leak and its dispersion into the air. We considered the leak as a turbulent jet with density variable, free and impinging a $20,mm$ diameter sphere or a flat plate. Firstly, velocity and scalar fields have been measured experimentally in the near field through Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and acetone Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF). Turbulence and mixing have been defined in the case of free jet and impinging jet. From this measurements, the flow structure has been presented from the mean and fluctuating flow measurements by comparison with literature data. Next, the fluctuation scalar fields are studied with the probability density function method. Finally, a comparison has been conducted between the experiments and direct numerical simulation (DNS) of turbulence based on the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for passive scalar in air jet. This study is gathering and analyzing data on the mixing of jet with density variable, free and impinging jet. Such data is directly useful to identify and control risks incurred due to hydrogen leak

This thesis is part of a wider project that aims at improving proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) efficiency and stability. Our contribution aims at improving the geometry and structure of channels in anode and cathode bipolar plates (BPP) using experiments and simulations. The operation of a PEMFC involves multiphase flows and multiphysics phenomenon such as reactant concentration and electron exchange between the components. To simulate such a complex system employed industrial codes as well as Lattice Boltzmann Method. Chapter 1 reminds the basic principle of PEM fuel cell and the role of the fluids that flow through BPP channels. We describe a standard version of the latter and the modifications which we consider here. Chapter 2 details a classical model that describes PEM fuel cell operation in steady regime and assumes single phase flows in channels. The underlying equations and their simulation (using COMSOL) are validated by an experiment performed on standard single cell. The simulation evidences channels exhibiting unequal fluid fluxes while the literature points the negative effects of such heterogeneity. Since the used models disregards the possibility of having water in two phases, Chapter 3 describes a LBMcolorgradientcodefortwophaseflows. Wevalidateitagainstanexperimentperformed of a T-junction, a device that has applications beyond fuel cell. Chapter 4, differently, is devoted to steady gas flows in parallel channels that differ from standard fuel cell. An algorithm automatically homogenizes the fluid flow by modifying domain geometry within definite limits. It applies to diverse settings, and manages parallel channels by varying parameters as channel number and widths. However, the distributing channels that span the fluid between channels at BPP inlet and recollect it at outlet also matter. The author thus proposes designs that equalize channel flows. The author creates a new design to study the manufacturing feasibility of BPP. Chapter 5 describes water drop directional spreading on metallic structures decorated with fin shaped channels of parallel axis: experiments reveal almost total spreading only in one direction.

Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is a numerical tool for solving partial differential equation, LBM being a mesoscopic model dealing with the material containing a quantity of particles in order to simulate macroscopic phenomenon. As a numerical tool LBM has proved its capability to simulate complex fluid flow behaviours and more recently to process medical images. In the framework of image analysis, LBM is implemented to perform de-noising operation, image boundary detection and image segmentation. In addition, LBM has advantage of strong amenability to parallel computing, especially on low-cost, powerful graphics hardware (GPU).In this direction, the main purpose of this thesis is to develop a general parallel computational segmentation algorithm. We have proved the efficiency of the proposed original method through the segmentation of the wall of an aneurysm and associated with parent blood vessels, whole cerebral data-set and stent-assisted aneurysm. The parallel segmentation algorithm has been run on nVIDIA graphic card, and demonstrates that the speedup has been improved by more than 100 times under the same precision

Resumo: A crescente importância do uso de GPUs para computação de propósito geral em supercomputadores faz com que o bom suporte a GPUs seja uma característica valiosa de frameworks de software para computação de alto desempenho como o waLBerla. waLBerla é um framework de software altamente paralelo que suporta uma ampla gama de fenômenos físicos. Embora apresente um bom desempenho em CPUs, testes demonstraram que as suas soluções de comunicação para GPU têm um desempenho ruim. Neste trabalho são apresentadas soluções para melhorar o desempenho, a eficiência do uso de memória e a usabilidade do waLBerla em supercomputadores baseados em GPU. A infraestrutura de comunicação proposta para GPUs NVIDIA com suporte a CUDA mostrou-se 25 vezes mais rápida do que o mecanismo de comunicação para GPU disponíveis anteriormente no waLBerla. Nossa solução para melhorar a eficiência do uso de memória da GPU permite usar 55% da memória necessária por uma abordagem simplista, o que possibilita executar simulações com domínios maiores ou usar menos GPUs para um determinado tamanho de domínio. Adicionalmente, levando-se em consideração que o desempenho de kernels CUDA se mostrou altamente sensível ao modo como a memória da GPU é acessada e a detalhes de implementação, foi proposto um mecanismo de indexação flexível de domínio que permite configurar as dimensões dos blocos de threads. Além disso, uma aplicação do Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) foi desenvolvida com kernels CUDA altamente otimizados a fim de se realizar todos os experimentos e testar todas as soluções propostas para o waLBerla. Palavras-chave: HPC, GPU, CUDA, Comunicação, Memória, Lattice Boltzmann Method, waLBerla.
Abstract: The increasing importance of GPUs for general-purpose computation on supercomputers makes a good GPU support by High-Performance Computing (HPC) software frameworks such as waLBerla a valuable feature. waLBerla is a massively parallel software framework that supports a wide range of physical phenomena. Although it presents good performance on CPUs, tests have shown that its available GPU communication solutions perform poorly. In this work, we present solutions for improving waLBerla's performance, memory usage e_ciency and usability on GPUbased supercomputers. The proposed communication infrastructure for CUDA-enabled NVIDIA GPUs executed 25 times faster than the GPU communication mechanism previously available on waLBerla. Our solution for improving GPU memory usage e_ciency allowed for using 55% of the memory required by a naive approach, which makes possible for running simulations with larger domains or using fewer GPUs for a given domain size. In addition, as CUDA kernel performance showed to be very sensitive to the way data is accessed in GPU memory and kernel implementation details, we proposed a flexible domain indexing mechanism that allows for configuring thread block sizes. Finally, a Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) application was developed with highly optimized CUDA kernels in order to carry out all experiments and test all proposed solutions for waLBerla. Keywords: HPC, GPU, CUDA, Communication, Memory, Lattice Boltzmann Method, waLBerla.

A injeção de emulsão em meio poroso como método de recuperação avançada pode se tornar realidade na operação de campos de petróleo devido à maior rigidez no descarte de água produzida e aos potenciais ganhos na produção de óleo. Para entender o comportamento macroscópico desta técnica de EOR, é necessário compreender o fenômeno microscópico. Com este objetivo, fez-se a modelagem numérica do escoamento de uma gota imersa em fase contínua escoando em capilar restrito utilizando o método de Lattice-Boltzmann. Este método foi escolhido devido à sua facilidade de ser aplicado em geometrias complexas de rocha e fluido e ao bom compromisso na representação dos fenômenos de microescala. Para entender a influência de cada parâmetro, foram realizadas diversas simulações em domínio tridimensional, alterando a velocidade do fluxo, a razão de viscosidades dos fluidos, a relação entre os diâmetros da gota e do tubo e a magnitude da tensão interfacial. Observou-se que a passagem da gota pela restrição causa uma redução na mobilidade do escoamento, representada por um aumento na perda de carga, pela conjunção dos efeitos viscosos e capilares. Obteve-se correlação negativa do fator redutor de mobilidade com a razão de viscosidade e com o tamanho da gota, assim como fora determinado numericamente por Roca-Reyes (2011) com o método level-set. Foi notada uma pequena sensibilidade de ao número de capilaridade, assim como estabelecido experimentalmente por Robles-Castillo (2011). Verificou-se a importância de se determinar o conjunto adequado de parâmetros do sistema para ter sucesso na implantação de injeção de emulsões.
Emulsion injection in porous medium as an Enhanced Oil Recovery method can turn out to be reality in the operation of onshore and offshore fields, due to increasing rigidity in the disposal of produced water and also due to the potential additional oil production. In order to understand macroscopic behavior of this EOR method, it is necessary to understand the microscopic phenomenon. With this objective, it was performed the numerical modeling of the flow of a droplet immerse in continuous phase through a constricted capillary using the Lattice-Boltzmann method. This method was chosen due to its simplicity on being applied to complex rock geometries and multiphasic flow and due to its good commitment in representing microscopic phenomena. Focusing on understanding the influence of each parameter on flow behavior, several simulation studies were performed altering flow velocity, viscosity ratio, ratio between droplet s and pipe s diameter and interfacial tension. A reduction in mobility is observed as the droplet passes through the restriction caused by the conjunction of viscous and capillary effects. A negative correlation of mobility reduction factor in relation to the viscosity ratio and to droplet size was noticed, as it had been observed before by Roca-Reyes (2011) in a numerical implementation of level-set method. Weak correlation between and capillary number was determined, as in previous experimental essay performed by Robles-Castillo (2011). In this study, it was verified the importance of determining the appropriate set of system parameters, in order to achieve success in the implementation of emulsion injection.
