Abstract:

Batch sedimentation is a method that enables us to understand the mechanism of compaction and compression of sedimenting slurry. However, batch settling behaviour is a very complex phenomenon that is not easily described fully by a mathematical model. This causes unrealistically large empirical calculations when the thickener size estimations are required. Channelling, reverse concentration gradients and the initial concentration of the slurry have large effects on batch settling. Existing procedures do not provide clear relationships involving these three significant variables. In this stud

In order to understand the current state of the natural rocky environment and its heterogeneity, we require to study the interaction and time evolution of the numerous geological processes that have contributed to the geological reality we observe today.

The forward numerical model developed during this thesis is able to simulate deformation and sedimentation in one single setting. To do this, the model uses a novel approach that combines a Discrete Element Model (DEM) and a process- base

Abstract:

Primary sedimentation involves the separation of solids and liquid in primary settling tanks (PSTs) of wastewater treatment systems. These physical processes are described by various settling conditions such as discrete and flocculent settling, along with other phenomena such as flocculation, coagulation, ammonification or hydrolysis. The modelling of primary sedimentation has often been overlooked because (i) it involves various intricacies that are difficult to replicate and (ii) primary sedimentation has been assumed to be an input to most of the main unit process models, including the acti

Abstract:

On average, one percent of reservoir storage capacity is lost annually to sediment deposition in reservoirs. Several methods for sediment removal do exist, but most are inefficient and costly in terms of money or water usage. One method known as siphoning has been shown to adequately remove sediment, but present knowledge is lacking to optimize this method for removal. Three relationships for sediment transport in a pipe were compared against data collected from a physical model resembling a reservoir siphoning system. None of the three accurately predicted the physical model results. However,

Abstract:

Sedimentation is a fundamental operation in wastewater treatment works. A rational design of sedimentation tanks is currently achieved by plotting iso-percentile (iso-percentage) concentration removal profiles from flocculent settling data. A major drawback of the graphical iso-percentage method is that the iso-percentile lines are often manually interpolated and are mere hand drawn estimations. This is because the settling behaviour of sludge particles is highly non-linear. The manual analytical process is therefore very tedious, inaccurate and subjective. Hence, an optimised design of

An age-depth model calculates the changes in time between direct ages (like a radiocarbon age) and can provide an estimated age for any depth.

Abstract:

<p>This thesis presents predictive models for important variables concerning eutrophication effects in lakes. The keystone is a dynamic phosphorus model based on ordinary differential equations. By calculating mass fluxes of phosphorus into, within and out from a lake, the concentrations of different forms of phosphorus in different compartments of the lake are estimated.</p><p>The dynamic phosphorus model is critically tested and several improvements are presented, including two new compartments for colloidal phosphorus, a sub-model for suspended particulate matter (SPM) and new algorithms fo

Abstract:

Spatial and temporal information on catchment sediment sources and sinks can provide an improved understanding of catchment response to human-induced disturbances. This is essential for the implementation of well-targeted catchment-management decisions. This thesis investigates the nature and timing of catchment response to human activities by examining changes in sediment sources and sinks in a dry-tropical subcatchment of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) catchment area, in northeastern Australia. Changes in catchment sediment sources, both in terms of spatial provenance and erosion type,

Abstract:

The complexity of the interplay between tectonics and sedimentation increases when salt tectonics is involved because of the ductility of salt and its ability to flow. Discrimination between extensional tectonics and salt-related processes is problematic; especially where salt-related rift basins were inverted as occurred in the Central High Atlas in Morocco. The aim of the present work was to analyse and understand the dynamics of the Central High Atlas diapiric basin during the Early Jurassic rift and subsequent post-rift periods using a multidisciplinary workflow integrating fieldwork, ana

Abstract:

Areas cultivated with eucalyptus forests have increased in Southern Brazil, and the effects on hydrosedimentological processes are not well known particularly at the watershed scale and in watersheds where land use has been changing. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model has been applied in a few forested watersheds to evaluate and predict effects of commercial forest cultivation or land use change in hydrological processes, whilst erosion processes has not been the main goal. The present study aimed (i) to evaluate the effects of eucalyptus plantation on hydrosedimentological proces

Abstract:

Biological invasions are reportedly one of the major contributory factors to biodiversity loss worldwide. The impacts of invasive alien plant (IAP) species on native communities are widely documented in the scientific literature, however, there is still a lack of detailed information on their impacts within the most vulnerable habitats. Riparian habitats are highly dynamic systems and naturally disturbed, making them particularly vulnerable to invasion. Climate change, directly or indirectly, is also predicted to adversely impact river systems, which may subsequently alter invasion rates and t

La sédimentation des suspensions aqueuses de particules minérales microniques, polydisperses et concentrées a été analysée à l’aide du Turbiscan MA 2000 fondé sur la diffusion multiple de la lumière, en vue d’établir la procédure qui permet de déceler la présence d’une morphologie fractale, puis de déduire les règles de comportements des suspensions fractales par la modélisation avec les réseaux de neurones. Le domaine des interactions interparticulaires physicochimiques (0 à 10% volumique en solide) a été privilégié.La méthodologie de détermination de la structure multifractale des agglomérat

Abstract:

La prévision de la sédimentation d'une rivière requiert l'utilisation d'un modèle mathématique régissant l'écoulement et de données d'observation. Le but de ce travail est de proposer une méthode d'assimilation de données qui permet de reconstituer les champs en tenant en compte du modèle et des données d'observation. La méthode qui est proposée est fondée sur les techniques de contrôle optimal. On présente les problèmes de sédimentation et leurs approximations numériques, un algorithme de décomposition est introduit et sa convergence est étudiée.
