Full textDrying of colloidal dispersions, given their uses in several fields in everyday life, has been the subject of many studies for a long time. In this thesis, we first developed an unidirectional simulation, based on the principle of the cellular automaton, which deals with the problem of horizontal and vertical drying. This work makes it possible to predict, by numerical calculation, the distribution of the particles and the position of drying fronts in deposits in form of thin films.The profile of the film in the liquid part was studied. Our results have shown that the pressure in the fluid is the sum of the Laplace and hydrostatic pressures. This result affects the dynamics of particles in the fluid part of the dispersion, in particular convection. The collective diffusion of charged particles has also been studied. Contrary to what was predicted in previous theoretical models, we were able to show that the collective diffusion of the charged particles could be important even within the lubrication approximation. Finally, the 1D simulation was extended to 2D in order to understand the reason why two fronts in perpendicular directions (case of a rectangular geometry) advance at different speeds. A comparison between the experimental data for the drying of a silica dispersion and the numerical calculation shows good agreement

Full textThe lower part of the millimeter wave (MMW) band (i.e., 20–100 GHz) is an attractive alternative for non-invasive thermal treatment of melanoma. Besides, pulsed electromagneticallyinduced heating can lead to stronger damage in cells compared to traditional continuous heating. In in-vitro experiments, continuous-wave (CW) or pulsed-wave (PW) amplitude-modulated MMW can be efficiently used to locally heat cell monolayers with a typical thickness ranging between 3 μm and 10 μm. In this work we investigate the modifications induced at the cellular level in melanoma cells following exposure to CW and PW MMW-induced heating with the same average temperature rise, at 58.4 GHz. First, the impact of thermal convection on temperature dynamics in models representing typical in vitro exposure conditions during CW and PW-induced heating is experimentally investigated. Second, the heat shock response, mediated by phosphorylation of a small heat shock protein (HSP27) and activation of Caspase-3, indicator of cellular apoptosis, are quantified to monitor the biological response using an experimental approach based on fluorescence microscopy. Two pulse durations (1.5 s and 6 s) are considered. Our results demonstrate that thermal pulses are able to induce a stronger cellular response in melanoma cells both in terms of heat shock and cellular mortality compared to the one induced by CW. The shorter the pulse duration, the greater the cellular response

Full textThe aim of this work is a numerical and experimental approach of mixed convection induced by ab air injection into a dwelling cell. We first present physic laws and governing equations of the flows inside the cell, and then the numerical treatment using finite differences. Results for laminar natural convection are compared with existing works. Then an approach of two-dimensional mixed convection allows us to find characteristic flow regimes for aiding or opposing flow of natural convection. Cavities with complex geometries such as inside boundaries and free boundaries are also studied. Afterwards, we present turbulence modelling using a k-epsilon model and no wall function. Comparison with other works is done about turbulent natural convection. In the last chapter, we show experimental results relative to mixed convection within a real scale cell and first numerical simulation of two-dimensional turbulent mixed convection

Full textThis thesis deals with turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection for Rayleigh numbers (Ra) up to 10^14, thanks to the use of cryogenic helium. We focused on the convection regime appearing at Ra≈10^12. This regime has been observed and interpreted 10 years ago in Grenoble, as the transition to the R. Kraichnan Ultimate Regime of convection (1962). Two signatures of this regime had been reported : an increase of the Nusselt number (Nu) and a qualitative change of the temperature fluctuations in the bulk of the cell. This last signature has been questionned by invoking a size effect of the sensors. First, we confirm the transition previously observed, with local temperature measurements, using a thermometer ten times smaller. This work is complemented with a study of the probe size effect on the temperature measurement. Thermometers, whose size ranges from 17 microns to 2 mm, were designed for this purpose. Then we indirectly observe an instability of the thermal boundary layer, which is in agreement with predictions on the Ultimate Regime. This observation is based on temperature fluctuations measurements of the bottom plate of the cell. This transition and the one observed on the heat transfer occur at the same Ra. Finally, we exclude the hypothesis that the transition observed on the heat transfer is due to a transition of the large scale circulation in the cell, thanks to the characterization of this circulation before and after the transition

Full textCollective or individual cell displacements are essential in fundamental physiological processes (immune response, embryogenesis) as well as in pathological developments (tumor metastasis). The intracellular processes responsible for cell motion have a complex self-organized activity spanning different time and space scales. Highlighting general principles of migration is therefore a challenging task.In a first part, we build stochastic particular models of migration. To do so, we describe key intracellular processes as discrete in space by using stochastic population models. Then, by a renormalization in large population, infinitesimal size and accelerated dynamics, we obtain continuous stochastic equations for the dynamics of interest, allowing a relation between the intracellular dynamics and the macroscopic displacement.First, we study the case of a leukocyte carried by the blood flow and developing adhesive bonds with the artery wall, until an eventual stop. The binding dynamics is described by a stochastic Birth and Death with Immigration process. These bonds correspond to resistive forces to the motion. We obtain explicitly the mean stopping time of the cell.Then, we study the case of cell crawling, that happens by the formation of protrusions on the cell edge, that grow on the substrate and exert traction forces. We describe this dynamics by a structured population process, where the structure comes from the protrusions' orientations. The limiting continuous model can be analytically studied in the 1D migration case, and gives rise to a Fokker-Planck equation on the probability distribution for the protrusion density. For a stationary profile, we can show the existence of a dichotomy between a non motile state and a directional displacement state.In a second part, we build a deterministic minimal migration model in a discoïdal cell domain. We base our work on the idea such that the structures responsible for migration also reinforce cell polarisation, which favors in return a directional displacement. This positive feedback loop involves the convection of a molecular marker, whose inhomogeneous spatial repartition is characteristic of a polarised state.The model writes as a convection-diffusion problem for the marker's concentration, where the advection field is the velocity field of the Darcy fluid that describes the cytoskeleton. Its active character is carried by boundary terms, which makes the originality of the model.From the analytical point of vue, the 1D model shows a dichotomy depending on a critical mass for the marker. In the subcritical and critical cases, it is possible to show global existence of weak solutions, as well as a rate-explicit convergence of the solution towards the unique stationary profile, corresponding to a non-motile state. Above the critical mass, for intermediate values, we show the existence of two additional stationary solutions corresponding to polarised motile profiles. Moreover, for asymmetric enough initial profiles, we show the finite time apparition of a blowup.Studying a more complex model involving activation of the marker at the cell membrane permits to get rid of this singularity.From the numerical point of vue, numerical experiments are led in 2D either in finite volumes (Matlab) or finite elements (FreeFem++) discretizations. They allow to show both motile and non motile profiles. The effect of stochastic fluctuations in time and space are studied, leading to numerical simulations of cases of responses to an external signal, either chemical (chemotaxis) or mechanical (obstacles)

Full textThis thesis concerns the improvement of a hydrogel encapsulation process for three-dimensional cell culture. Submillimetric capsules are formed via high speed co-extrusion of macromolecules solutions, thereby forming a compound jet. The drops resulting from the fragmentation of the jet have a core/ shell type geometry where shell is composed of alginate. This layer is then solidified after immersion in a gelling bath. The use of biological materials required the implementation of a sequential injection system to manipulate small volumes, less than 1 mL. This approach is then accompanied by a longitudinal variation of the concentration of the suspended particles flowing in the injection tube. This dispersion can be inhibited by adding air bubbles at each end of the sample to segment it. A destabilization of the suspension initially homogeneous is observed when liquid inertia comes into play at the particle’s scale. These micrometric particles induce a flapping motion and jet speed fluctuations causing the coalescence of the drops and thus a size polydispersity. Finally, a collagen hydrogel, which mimics an extracellular matrix, has been implemented in the capsule’s core to promote adhesion of epithelial cells forming intestine and bile ducts. Within this matrix, the cells form a polarized and functional epithelium. The formation of these collagen capsules required the formulaiton of the collagen solution compatible with the process and the physiological conditions of the cells

Full textWe investigate the influence of the environment on the behaviour of a cell in two different situations. In each of these situations, there is a non-linear coupling of the drift due to a non-local term coming from the boundary of the domain.The first part focuses on the modeling of cell polarisation during the mating of yeast. We use a convection-diffusion model with a non-linear and non-local drift. This model is similar to the Keller-Segel model, the source of the attractive potential comes from the boundary of the domain. We study the long time behaviour of the one-dimensional case by using logarithmic Sobolev and HWI inequalities.By relying on a heuristic, we reduce the study of our model in the two-dimensional case to the boundary of the domain. We validate the model with data provided by M. Piel. This validation requires adding a dynamical noise in our numerical simulations. We study then the cell discussion between yeast of opposite gender. In the second part we study the immune response in atherosclerosis. We build and then develop an age structured model in order to describe the inflammation. For specific parameters, we investigate the long time behaviour of our system by using a Lyapunov functional

Full textThis work is a theoretical contribution to the study of thermo-hydrodynamic instabilities in fluids submitted to surface-tension (Marangoni) and buoyancy (Rayleigh) effects in layered (Benard) configurations. The driving constraint consists in a thermal (or a concentrational) gradient orthogonal to the plane of the layer(s).
Linear, weakly nonlinear as well as strongly nonlinear analyses are carried out, with emphasis on high Prandtl (or Schmidt) number fluids, although some results are also given for low-Prandtl number liquid metals. Attention is mostly devoted to the mechanisms responsible for the onset of complex spatio-temporal behaviours in these systems, as well as to the theoretical explanation of some existing experimental results.
As far as linear stability analyses (of the diffusive reference state) are concerned, a number of different effects are studied, such as Benard convection in two layers coupled at an interface (for which a general classification of instability modes is proposed), surface deformation effects and phase-change effects (non-equilibrium evaporation). Moreover, a number of different monotonous and oscillatory instability modes (leading respectively to patterns and waves in the nonlinear regime) are identified. In the case of oscillatory modes in a liquid layer with deformable interface heated from above, our analysis generalises and clarifies earlier works on the subject. A new Rayleigh-Marangoni oscillatory mode is also described for a liquid layer with an undeformable interface heated from above (coupling between internal and surface waves).
Weakly nonlinear analyses are then presented, first for monotonous modes in a 3D system. Emphasis is placed on the derivation of amplitude (Ginzburg-Landau) equations, with universal structure determined by the general symmetry properties of the physical system considered. These equations are thus valid outside the context of hydrodynamic instabilities, although they generally depend on a certain number of numerical coefficients which are calculated for the specific convective systems studied. The nonlinear competitions of patterns such as convective rolls, hexagons and squares is studied, showing the preference for hexagons with upflow at the centre in the surface-tension-driven case (and moderate Prandtl number), and of rolls in the buoyancy-induced case.
A transition to square patterns recently observed in experiments is also explained by amplitude equation analysis. The role of several fluid properties and of heat transfer conditions at the free interface is examined, for one-layer and two-layer systems. We also analyse modulation effects (spatial variation of the envelope of the patterns) in hexagonal patterns, leading to the description of secondary instabilities of supercritical hexagons (Busse balloon) in terms of phase diffusion equations, and of pentagon-heptagon defects in the hexagonal structures. In the frame of a general non-variational system of amplitude equations, we show that the pentagon-heptagon defects are generally not motionless, and may even lead to complex spatio-temporal dynamics (via a process of multiplication of defects in hexagonal structures).
The onset of waves is also studied in weakly nonlinear 2D situations. The competition between travelling and standing waves is first analysed in a two-layer Rayleigh-Benard system (competition between thermal and mechanical coupling of the layers), in the vicinity of special values of the parameters for which a multiple (Takens-Bogdanov) bifurcation occurs. The behaviours in the vicinity of this point are numerically explored. Then, the interaction between waves and steady patterns with different wavenumbers is analysed. Spatially quasiperiodic (mixed) states are found to be stable in some range when the interaction between waves and patterns is non-resonant, while several transitions to chaotic dynamics (among which an infinite sequence of homoclinic bifurcations) occur when it is resonant. Some of these results have quite general validity, because they are shown to be entirely determined by quadratic interactions in amplitude equations.
Finally, models of strongly nonlinear surface-tension-driven convection are derived and analysed, which are thought to be representative of the transitions to thermal turbulence occurring at very high driving gradient. The role of the fastest growing modes (intrinsic length scale) is discussed, as well as scalings of steady regimes and their secondary instabilities (due to instability of the thermal boundary layer), leading to chaotic spatio-temporal dynamics whose preliminary analysis (energy spectrum) reveals features characteristic of hydrodynamic turbulence. Some of the (2D and 3D) results presented are in qualitative agreement with experiments (interfacial turbulence).

Solidification is a crucial process in casting metal material. The microstructure is formed at this stage. Indeed, this research aims at the flow impact for the growth patterns of a dendrite during the solidification process. This research has adopted the Modified cellular automaton (MCA) model to simulate the effects on dendritic microstructures during the Al-Cu alloy solidification. Based on the macro-model of heat transfer, microscopic nucleation, growth kinetics, and the liquid flow in the solute calculation are considered to predict the growth patterns of a dendrite. This research calculates the velocity of a dentritic tip using the KGT model. In the proposed study, the tip growth velocity and solute distribution are observed to analyze the flow impact, and the differences between the observed locations of the dendrite are further discussed. In addition, the research has predetermined various growth angles and uniform velocities to study the similarities and dissimilarities between dentritic morphologies. Moreover, the study uses the profile of tip growth velocity vs. calculation time to evaluate the convection effect on the growth patterns. It has also brought a deeper discussion regarding to the flow variations influenced by the dentritic growth.
