Full textAbstract:
A dynamical system approach is utilized to reduce the representation order of unsteady fluid flows and fluid-structure interaction systems. This approach allows for significant reduction in the computational cost of their numerical simulations, implementation of optimization and control methodologies and assessment of their dynamic stability. In the first chapter, I present a new Lagrangian function to derive the equations of motion of unsteady point vortices. This representation is a reconciliation between Newtonian and Lagrangian mechanics yielding a new approach to model the dynamics of these vortices. In the second chapter, I investigate the flutter of a helicopter rotor blade using finite-state time approximation of the unsteady aerodynamics. The analysis showed a new stability region that could not be determined under the assumption of a quasi-steady flow. In the third chapter, I implement the unsteady vortex lattice method to quantify the effects of tail flexibility on the propulsive efficiency of a fish. I determine that flexibility enhances the propulsion. In the fourth chapter, I consider the stability of a flapping micro air vehicle and use different approaches to design the transition from hovering to forward flight. I determine that first order averaging is not suitable and that time periodic dynamics are required for the controller to achieve this transition. In the fifth chapter, I derive a mathematical model for the free motion of a two-body planar system representing a fish under the action of coupled dynamics and hydrodynamics loads. I conclude that the psicform fish family are inherently stable under certain conditions that depend on the location of the center of mass.<br>Ph. D.<br>We present modeling approaches of the interaction between flying or swimming bodies and the surrounding fluids. We consider their stability as they perform special maneuvers. The approaches are applied to rotating blades of helicopters, fish-like robots, and micro-air vehicles. We develop and validate a new mathematical representation for the flow generated by moving or deforming elements. We also assess the effects of fast variations in the flow on the stability of a rotating helicopter blade. The results point to a new stable regime for their operation. In other words, the fast flow variations could stabilize the rotating blades. These results can also be applied to the analysis of stability of rotating blades of wind turbines. We consider the effects of flexing a tail on the propulsive force of fish-like robots. The results show that adding flexibility enhances the efficiency of the fish propulsion. Inspired by the ability of some birds and insects to transition from hovering to forward motion, we thoroughly investigate different approaches to model and realize this transition. We determine that no simplification should be applied to the rigorous model representing the flapping flight in order to model transition phenomena correctly. Finally, we model the forward-swim dynamics of psciform and determine the condition on the center of mass for which a robotic fish can maintain its stability. This condition could help in designing fish-like robots that perform stable underwater maneuvers.

Full textAbstract:
Atherosclerosis is a disease of the cardiovascular system where a stenosis may develop in an artery which is an abnormal narrowing in the blood vessel that adversely affects the blood flow. Due to the constriction of the blood vessel, the flow is disturbed, forming a jet and recirculation downstream of the stenosis. Dynamic pressure fluctuations on the inner wall of the blood vessel leads to the vibration of the vessel structure and acoustic energy is propagated through the surrounding tissue that can be detected on the skin surface. Acoustic energy radiating from the interaction of blood flow and stenotic blood vessel carries valuable information from a diagnostic perspective. In this study, a constricted blood flow is modeled by using ADINA finite element analysis software together with the blood vessel in the form of a thin cylindrical shell with an idealized blunt constriction. The flow is considered as incompressible and Newtonian. Water properties at indoor temperature are used for the fluid model. The diameter of the modeled vessel is 6.4 mm with 87% area reduction at the throat of the stenosis. The flow is investigated for Reynolds numbers 1000 and 2000. The problem is handled in three parts which are rigid wall Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solution, structural analysis of fluid filled cylindrical shell, and Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) solutions of fluid flow and vessel structure. The pressure fluctuations and consequential vessel wall vibrations display broadband spectral content over a range of several hundred Hz with strong fluid-structural coupling. Maximum dynamic pressure and vibration amplitudes are observed around the reattachment point of the flow near the exit of the stenosis and this effect gradually decreases along downstream of flow. Results obtained by the numerical simulations are compared with relevant studies in the literature and it is concluded that ADINA can be used to investigate these types of problems involving high frequency pressure fluctuations of the fluid and the resulting vibratory motion of the surrounding blood vessel structure.

Dans un turboréacteur, le système d'air secondaire remplit de multiples fonctions. Les flux d'air secondaire contrôlent les températures des matériaux et l'expansion thermale des parties moteurs, en particulier les écartements des joints d'étanchéité. Pour s'assurer de la réalisation des diverses fonctions dès la phase de développement, les différentes propriétés du gaz doivent être correctement prédîtes. Actuellement, les calculs aérodynamiques, livrant les flux les températures et les pressions d'air, sont séparés des calculs thermiques, livrant les températures matériaux. Les interactions dont le traitement nécessite de nombreuses itérations sont ignorées. En effet, un changement de température matériau modifie l'expansion relative des parties moteurs, redéfinissant ainsi l'écartement des joints qui a son tour contrôle les débits d'air. La définition de l'écartement de joint influant de manière importante sur les pertes de charges, un fort effet de couplage est attendu. Le but de l'étude est de prendre en compte ces interactions au sein d'un nouvel outil combinant analyse du système d'air secondaire et calculs thermique et mécaniques. Une série de modules intégrés permet de considérer ces effets dans les cas stationnaires. Un réseau constitue de nodes représentant les chambres connectées par des éléments assimiles a des pertes de charges constitue la base du concept. Utilisant une formulation compatible avec la topologie Elément Finis, le réseau est imbrique dans le modèle Eléments Finis thermomécanique au sein d'un modèle unique et résolu grâce au logiciel CalculiX. Températures, pressions et débits sont calculés basé sur les températures et déformations matériau de l'itération précédente et servent de conditions limites au calcul thermomécanique dans l'itération suivante<br>In jet engines, the secondary air system, or SAS, takes care of a variety of important functions. In particular, secondary air flows control material temperatures and thermal expansion of engine parts, especially seal clearances. To check the fulfilment of these functions in the engine design phase, gas properties, temperatures, pressures and mass flow rates, must be accurately predicted. Up to now, the aerodynamic calculations leading to mass-flow rates, fluid pressures and temperatures and the thermal calculations yielding material temperatures are performed separately. A lot of interactions are neglected, the treatment of which would require numerous time consuming iterations. Indeed, material temperature changes lead to a modification of the expansion of the interacting parts yielding significant modifications in the gaps which control mass-flow rates. Since gap width has an important influence on the pressure losses, the interaction between aerodynamic, thermal and solid mechanics solution to the problem is expected to be important. The present investigation aims at taking this interaction into account in a robust analysis tool, combining SAS, thermal and mechanical analysis. An integrated program suite has been created, which allows to calculate these effects steady state. The basic concept is a network consisting of nodes representing the chambers and connected by pressure loss elements. Using a finite-element-compatible formulation, the network is embedded in a thermo-mechanical finite element model of the engine within an unique model and solved using the free software finite element CalculiX. This is done in the form of a module in which the gas pressure temperature and mass-flow are calculated based on the structural temperature and deformation of the previous iteration and serve as boundary conditions to the thermo-mechanical model for the next iteration

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study is to investigate how Fluid-Structure interaction is included in numerical earthquake analyses of dams. The base for this project is theme A from the 12th international benchmark workshop on numerical analysis of dams, which was held in October 2013. The focus of theme A was how to account for the fluid structure interaction in numerical earthquake analyses of dams. To highlight how engineers and researchers include this interaction in their analysis, a literature review of the modeling choices and conclusions from all participants are included. Since the workshop contains participants from seven countries, this review aims to describe of how this analysis is carried out in practice. Further, parametric numerical analyses are performed in this study, where the purpose is to isolate some important parameters and investigate how these influence the results in seismic analyses of dams. These analyses were performed through the use of the finite element method. The geometric model from the benchmark workshop was used and analysed with the commercial software Abaqus. The studied parameters are the choice of fluid element, Rayleigh damping parameters, reservoir boundaries and wave absorption in the foundation-reservoir interface. The water has a major effect on a dam's seismic behaviour and should be included in the analysis. The added mass approach gives similar results compared with a more sophisticated method. This simplified approach could be used in engineering purpose where the time is limited and the accuracy is of lesser importance, since the calculated stresses are conservative. Using acoustic finite elements provides a reasonable computation time, while also allowing for more advanced features, such as bottom absorption and non-reflecting boundaries The definition of Rayleigh damping has proven to be a very challenging task, especially as it has a large impact on the results. The choice of boundary conditions for the back end of the reservoir was the parameter that least influenced the results. The conservative approach is to use a fixed boundary where all pressure waves are reflected. The reflection coefficient for the foundation-reservoir interface has a large influence on the results, both for the participants that used this coefficient in the benchmark workshop and for the analyses presented in this study. The coefficient should therefore be used carefully.<br>Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur fluid-struktur interaktion inkluderas i numeriska jordbävningsanalyser av dammar. Detta ämne var ett av de teman som behandlades vid den 12:e internationella benchmark-workshopen för numerisk analys av dammar som hölls i oktober 2014 i Graz, österike. För att visa hur ingenjörer och forskare tar hänsyn till denna interaktion har en litteraturstudie på bidragen till workshopen genomförts. Då workshopen lockade deltagare från universitet och konstruktionsfirmor från sju länder, är målet att kunna beskriva hur jordbävningsanalyser av dammar utförs i praktiken. Dessutom har numeriska parameterstudier genomförts, med syfte att isolera enskilda parametrars inverkan vid seismiska anslyser av dammar. Analyserna har utförts med finita elementmetoden och analyserna är utförda med den geometriska modellen som användes i workshopen. Alla analyser har utförts i programmet Abaqus. De analyserade parametrarna är, val av fluid-element, Rayleigh dämpningsparametrar, randvillkor för reservoaren samt tryckvågsabsorption i gränsytan mellan reservoar och berg. Vattnet har en stor inverkan på dammen och de hydrodynamiska effekterna bör inkluderas vid en jordbävningsanalys. Metoden med impulsiv massa ger liknande resultat jämfört med mer sofistikerade metoder. Denna enklare metod kan användas i samanhang där beräknings och modelleringstid är begränsad och noggrannhet är av mindre intresse så länge resultaten är konservativa. För tillämpningar där noggrannheten är viktigare kan akustiska element användas för att beskriva vattnet. De akustiska element ger möjligheter för mer sofistikerade analyser där t.ex. vågabsorption och icke reflekterande gränser kan beaktas. Att välja Rayleigh dämpning visade sig var en väldigt utmanande uppgift, där valet hade stor påverkan på resultaten. Valet av randvillkor för reservoarens bortre ände var den parameter som hade minst påverkan på resultaten. Det konservativa valet är att välja en ''fixed'' gräns med full reflektion av tryckvågor. Reflektionskoefficienten för interaktionen mellan vatten och berg visade sig ha en stor inverkan på resultaten, både för de deltagare i workshopen som valde att använda denna koefficient och för de analyser som presenteras i denna studie. Denna koefficient bör därför användas med försiktighet.

Dairien, Alexa. "Stabilité des écoulements et interaction fluide structure dans les joints labyrinthe." Thesis, Lyon, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019LYSEC038.
Full textAbstract:
Des joints labyrinthes sont utilisés dans les turbopompes spatiales pour limiter les fuites du gaz qui entraine la turbine dans l’interstice séparant le rotor du stator. Les tendances actuelles sont à la minimisation des jeux (pour optimiser le rendement) et à l’allègement du stator. Ces contraintes conduisent à l’apparition d’instabilités qualifiées d’aéroélastique qui peuvent mener à l’endommagement des structures internes de la turbine, notamment au niveau des partie statoriques selon des analyses post-mortem. Ces évolutions rendent nécessaires l’élaboration de modèles plus prédictifs au niveau de la prise en compte des fuites et de la souplesse du stator.L’objet de ce travail est de développer un modèle numérique avancé de joint labyrinthe prenant en compte un rotor non déformable et un stator flexible. La souplesse de la partie statorique induit des variations de pression et de vitesse au sein de l’écoulement. Le modèle peut comporter plusieurs cavités, le rotor peut être mis en rotation et les dents sont positionnées sur l’arbre.Le modèle d’écoulement développé est inspiré des travaux de Childs et utilise les équations simplifiées de Navier-Stokes. Le modèle de fluide est couplé à un modèle de dynamique des structures correspondant au stator (anneau ou cylindre). La structure peut être encastrée du côté des hautes pressions ou des basses pressions. La prise en considération de cette condition aux limites permet une confrontation précise des résultats avec les travaux d’Abbott. Le système fluide-structure obtenu comprend des équations non-linéaires aux dérivées partielles. Pour s’affranchir de ces non linéarités, une méthode de perturbation est utilisée. Pour résoudre ce problème à deux dimensions (en temps et en espace), une approche de Galerkin est utilisée.Ces développements prennent alors en considération un couplage fort entre le fluide et la structure, incluant les modes à diamètres et le comportement du joint labyrinthe. Les résultats obtenus apportent de nouvelles perspectives sur l’approche actuelle des instabilités aéroélastiques<br>Aerospace turbopumps usually use labyrinth gas seals to prevent the gas driving the turbine to leak in the gap between the rotor and the stator parts. Current trends in turbopumps design focus on the minimization of the clearance, so as to optimise the efficiency, and on the reduction of the stator weight. However, these trends may lead to aeroelastic stability issues which can damage the structure, mainly static parts according to post-mortem observations.To tackle these new challenges, more predictive models must be devised in order to take the stator flexibility and the leakages into account. The purpose of this work is to carry out a numerical investigation on an advanced labyrinth gas seal model comprising a non-deformable rotor, and a flexible stator. The flexibility of the static part induces pressure and velocity fluctuations within the leakage flow. The model retains several cavities formed by the teeth located on the shaft. Eventually, a strong coupling between the fluid and the structure is assumed.The model governing the behaviour of the flow in a cavity is inspired by Childs analytical model and Navier-Stokes equations. The model of the flow is then coupled to a mechanical model corresponding to the stator. The structure can be supported on the low pressure side as well as on the high pressure side. Taking into account those boundary conditions allows a direct comparison with results given by Abbott.The coupled system obtained includes non linear differential equations. To overcome these non- linearities a perturbation method is used, as proposed by Childs. To solve this two-dimensional problem a Galerkin approach with a Fourier transform with respect to the space variables is used.This investigation takes into account a full coupling between the dynamics of the stator, including diameter modes, and the behavior of the labyrinth seal, providing new interesting insights on the dynamic of such system, especially in terms on aeroelastic stability

This thesis investigates the characteristics of a close proximity underwater explosion and its effect on a ship-like structure. Finite element model tests are conducted to verify and validate the propagation of a pressure wave generated by an underwater explosion through a fluid medium, and the transmission of the pressure wave in the fluid to a structure using the Multi-Material Arbitrary Lagrangian/Eulerian method. A one dimensional case modeling the detonation of a spherical TNT charge underwater is investigated. Three dimensional cases modeling the detonation of an underwater spherical TNT charge, and US Navy Blast Test cases modeling a shape charge and a circular steel plate, and a shape charge and a Sandwich Plate System (SPS) are also investigated. This thesis provides evidence that existing tools and methodologies have some capability for predicting early-time/close proximity underwater explosion effects, but are insufficient for analyses beyond the arrival of the initial shock wave. This thesis shows that a true infinite boundary condition, a modified Gruneisen equation of state near the charge, and the ability to capture shock without a very small element size is needed in order to provide a sufficient means for predicting early-time/close proximity underwater explosion effects beyond the arrival of the initial shock wave.<br>Master of Science

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO<br>COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR<br>PROGRAMA DE EXCELENCIA ACADEMICA<br>As interações fluido-estrutura são muito comuns na engenharia mecânica e civil porque muitas estruturas, como pontes, plataformas de petróleo, linhas de transmissão ou turbinas eólicas, estão diretamente em contato com um fluido, que pode ser o ar, no caso de vento, ou água, que irá perturbar a estrutura através de ondas. Um papel importante do engenheiro é prevenir a falha da estrutura devido às instabilidades criadas pelas interações fluidoestrutura. Este trabalho apresentará em primeiro lugar todos os conceitos básicos necessários para o estudo de problemas de interação fluido-estrutura. Assim, é realizada uma análise dimensional visando classificar os problemas de fluido-estrutura. A classificação é baseada na velocidade reduzida, e algumas conclusões sobre as conseqüências das interações fluido-estrutura podem ser feitas em termos de estabilidade ou, o que é mais interessante, de instabilidade. De fato, usando modelos simplificados, pode-se mostrar instabilidades estáticas e dinâmicas, induzidas por fluxo, que podem ser críticas para a estrutura. As partes finais do trabalho apresentarão uma estrutura não-linear específica, uma ponte suspensa. Primeiro, a formulação de um modelo simplificado unidimensional é explicada e, em seguida, através de uma discretização por elementos finitos, é realizado um estudo
dinâmico. Além disso, algumas conclusões são apresentadas sobre a dinâmica das pontes suspensas. A última parte deste trabalho apresenta um método que foi uma importante fonte de publicação para nós, o método de decomposição regular.<br>Fluid-structure interactions are very common in mechanical and civil engineering because many structures, as bridges, offshore risers, transmission lines or wind turbines are directly in contact with a fluid, which can
be air, which will be source of wind, or water, which will perturb the structure through waves. An important role of the engineer is to prevent structure failure due to instabilities created by the fluid-structure interactions. This work will first present all the basic concepts needed for the study of fluid-structure interaction problems. Thus, a dimensional analysis of those problems is performed and also all the equations governing such cases are presented. Then, thanks to the dimensional analysis made, a classification of problems, namely based on the reduced velocity, can be done and some conclusions
concerning the consequences of the fluid-structure interactions can be drawn in terms of stability or, which is more interesting, instability. Indeed, using simplified models one can show static and dynamic flow-induced instabilities that may be critical for the structure. The final parts of the work will present a specific non-linear structure, a suspension bridge. First the formulation of a simplified one-dimensional model is explained and then, through a finite element discretization, a dynamical study is performed. Also,
some conclusions are made concerning the dynamic of suspension bridges. The last part of this work presents a method that was an important source of publication for us, the Smooth Decomposition method.

Full textAbstract:
Energy due to fluid-borne and structure-borne disturbances propagating in a fluid-filled pipe will be carried by the structure and the fluid. Energy transfer may occur between these two media due to the coupling between the structure and the fluid. Itâ s not clear when the excitation is fluid-borne or structure-borne, due to the complexity in piping installation designs and the strong coupling between the fluid and shell walls. It is necessary to devise control approaches that tackle both components of the excitation simultaneously. This study will demonstrate new approaches in active and passive control techniques and show their advantages over classical control approaches.
It is necessary to understand the physical behavior of fluid-filled pipes, in order to develop a viable control methodology. The equations of motion for the shell and the fluid are needed to characterize the system. These combined with the dispersion equations can then be used to derive analytical expressions for energy flow in the system. The research is limited to lower order wave types. Hence, the expressions for energy flow are derived only for the n=0 and n=1 shell waves and n=0 fluid wave. Higher order waves have cut-on frequencies and were not analyzed. Current sensing methodologies are limited to the analysis of wave types separately. A new approach of wave decomposition using multiple sensors is developed and used to characterize discontinuities along the pipe.
The effect of discontinuities and correct control methodologies are investigated. A new control methodology is developed and implemented. The natural distribution of energy into different wave types as it encounters discontinuities is used to devise control solutions with non-intrusive inertial actuators. Improvements of 16 dB in shell waves and 12 dB in fluid waves over the correct control approach are experimentally demonstrated.<br>Master of Science

Le travail de cette thèse a pour objectif de développer un solveur dédié aux problèmes d'interaction fluide-structure (IFS), en particulier ceux rencontré en biologie, tels que la dynamique d'un écoulement sanguin à travers des tronçons veineux munis de valves. La circulation du sang est étudiée à l'aide de modèles pertinents sur les plans anatomique et physique. Le premier aspect des problèmes d'IFS concerne la gestion de la stabilité. Une formulation monolithique eulérienne basée sur la méthode des caractéristiques assure la stabilité inconditionnelle et introduit une approximation du premier ordre en temps avec deux modèles distincts de matériaux hyper élastiques. Le second aspect est relatif au contact entre deux parties du domaine solide, tel celui apparaissant entre deux valvules au cours de la fermeture de la valve et à l'état fermé sur un surface valvulaire relativement importante. Un algorithme de contact est proposé et validé à l'aide de tests de référence. L'étude computationnelle de l'écoulement sanguin à travers des tronçons veineux munis de valves est mené, une fois le solveur IFS vérifié et validé. Le domaine computationnel bidimensionnel est soit constitué d'une simple unité de base, soit du modèle de circuit veineux en forme d'échelle avec une veine superficielle et une profonde, communicant par une série de veines perforantes. Un maillage tridimensionnel de l'unité de base a été construit. Les simulations dans ce domaine tridimensionnel nécessite le recours au calcul haute performance. La dynamique de l'écoulement sanguin est fortement couplée à la mécanique de la paroi vasculaire. La paroi déformable des veines et artères de gros calibre est composée de trois couches principales (l'intima, la media, et l'adventitia) constituées de matériaux composites ayant une composition spécifique dans chaque couche. Dans ce travail, la rhéologie de la paroi est supposée être représentée par un matériau du type Mooney-Rivlin<br>The present work aims at developing a numerical solver for fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems, especially those encountered in biology such as blood circulation in valved veins. Blood flow is investigated using anatomically and physically relevant models. The first aspect of FSI problems is related to management of algorithm stability. An Eulerian monolithic formulation based on the characteristic method unconditionally achieves stability and introduce a first order in time approximation with two distinct hyperelastic material models. The second aspect deals with between-solid domain contact such as that between valve leaflets during closure and in the closed state over a finite surface, which avoid vcusp tilting and back flow. A contact algorithm is proposed and validated using benchmarks. Computational study of blood flow in valved veins is investigated, once the solver was verified and validated. The 2D computational domain comprises a single basic unit or the ladder-like model of a deep and superficial veins communicating by a set of perforating veins. A 3D mesh of the basic unit was also built. Three-dimensional computation relies on high performance computing. Blood flow dynamics is strongly coupled to vessel wall mechanics. Deformable vascular walls of large veins and arteries are composed of three main layers (intima, media, and adventitia) that consist of composite material with a composition specific to each layer. In the present work, the wall rheology is assumed to be a Mooney-Rivlin material

Accurate prediction of hemodynamics in such conditions requires a complete Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) analysis that couples the fluid flow behavior throughout the cardiac cycle with the structural response of the vessel walls. This research focuses on the computational study of a Multiscale Fluid-Structure Interaction on the arterial wall by coupling Finite Volumes Method (FVM) predictions of the Fluid Dynamics within the artery with Finite Elements Method (FEM) predictions of the Elasto-Dynamics response of the arterial walls and 1-D closed loop electrical circuit system to generate the dynamic pressure pulse. To this end, a commercial FVM Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code (STAR-CCM+ 7.09.012) will be coupled through an external interface with a commercial FEM Elasto-Dynamics code (ABAQUS V6.12). The coupling interface is written in such a way that the wall shear stresses and pressures predicted by the CFD analysis will be passed as boundary conditions to the FEM structural solver. The deformations predicted by the FEM structural solver will be passed to the CFD solver to update the geometry in an implicit manner before the following iteration step. The coupling between the FSI and the 1-D closed loop lump parameter circuit updated the pressure pulse and mass flow rates generated by the circuit in an explicit manner after the periodic solution in the FSI analysis had settled. The methodology resulting from this study will be incorporated in a larger collaborative research program between UCF and ORHS that entails optimization of surgical implantation of Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVAD) cannulae and bypass grafts with the aim to minimize thrombo-embolic events. Moreover, the work proposed will also be applied to another such collaborative project focused on the computational fluid dynamics modeling of the circulation of congenitally affected cardiovascular systems of neonates, specifically the Norwood and Hybrid Norwood circulation of children affected by the hypoplastic left heart syndrome.<br>M.S.M.E.<br>Masters<br>Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering<br>Engineering and Computer Science<br>Mechanical Engineering; Thermo-Fluids

Cette thèse s’intéresse au problème du contrôle actif des vibrations structurelles d’une aile d’avion induites par le ballottement du carburant dans les réservoirs qu’elle contient. L'étude proposée ici est concentrée sur l'analyse d'un dispositif expérimental composé d'une longue plaque rectangulaire en aluminium équipée d'actionneurs et de capteurs piézoélectriques et d'un réservoir cylindrique. La difficulté principale réside dans le couplage complexe entre les modes de vibration de l’aile et les modes de ballottement du liquide. Un modèle de ce dispositif à l’aide d’équations aux dérivées partielles est tout d’abord construit. Ce modèle de dimension infinie couple une équation des plaques avec l'équation de Bernoulli pour le mouvement du fluide dans le réservoir. En analysant la contribution énergétique des modes, une approximation en dimension finie, de type espace d'état est alors construite. Après une méthode de recalage fréquentiel du modèle, un contrôle est réalisé en utilisant dans un premier temps une méthode par placement de pôle et dans un deuxième temps, la théorie de la commande robuste H-infini. La dimension du modèle et les performances demandées imposent le calcul d’un contrôleur H-infini d'ordre réduit, conçu en utilisant la librairie HIFOO 2. 0 et testé sur le dispositif expérimental pour différents niveaux de remplissage. Finalement, le problème de la correction simultanée avec un correcteur HIFOO d'ordre réduit est aussi analysé<br>We consider the problem of the active reduction of structural vibrations of a plane wing induced by the sloshing of large masses of fuel inside partly full tank. This study focuses on an experimental device composed of an aluminum rectangular plate equipped with piezoelectric actuators/sensors at the clamped end and with a cylindrical tip-tank, more or less filled with liquid, at the opposite free end. The control is performed through piezoelectric actuators and the main difficulty comes from the complex coupling between the flexible modes of the wing and the sloshing modes of the fuel. First, a partial derivative equation model is computed by coupling a plate equation with a Bernoulli equation for the fluid motion. After analyzing the energetic contribution of each mode, a state space approximation is established. After a model matching procedure, a control is computed by using the pole placement method and the H-infinity theory. Due to the large scale of the synthesis model and to the simultaneous performance requirements, a reduced-order H-infinity controller is computed using the HIFOO 2. 0 package and tested on the experimental device for different filling levels. Finally, the problem of simultaneous control with a reduced order HIFOO controller is tackled. Experimental results of this non-convex optimization problem are given and commented

The purpose of this study was to develop a robust fluid-structure-interaction (FSI) technology that can accurately model non-linear flutter responses for sub- and transonic fluid flow. The Euler equation set governs the fluid domain, which was spatially discretised by a vertex-centred edge-based finite volume method. A dual-timestepping method was employed for the purpose of temporal discretisation. Three upwind schemes were compared in terms of accuracy, efficiency and robustness, viz. Roe, HLLC (Harten-Lax-Van Leer with contact) and AUSM+-up Advection Up-stream Splitting Method). For this purpose, a second order unstructured MUSCL (Monotonic Upstream-centred Scheme for Conservation Laws) scheme, with van Albada limiter, was employed. The non-linear solid domain was resolved by a quadratic modal reduced order model (ROM), which was compared to a semi-analytical and linear modal ROM. The ROM equations were solved by a fourth order Runge-Kutta method. The fluid and solid were strongly coupled in a partitioned fashion with the information being passed at solver sub-iteration level. The developed FSI technology was verified and validated by applying it to test cases found in literature. It was demonstrated that accurate results may be obtained, with the HLLC upwind scheme offering the best balance between accuracy and robustness. Further, the quadratic ROM offered significantly improved accuracy when compared to the linear method.<br>Dissertation (MEng)--University of Pretoria, 2011.<br>Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering<br>unrestricted

Le projet CLIC (City Lightweight Innovative Cab) dans lequel s’inscrit cette thèse de doctorat vise à développer une cabine de camion allégée sans dégrader les performances vibratoires et acoustiques. Pour cela il est nécessaire d’établir dans un premier temps un modèle de prédiction vibroacoustique du système couplé structure/espace intérieur incluant l’influence des matériaux dissipatifs (amortissement ou absorption) dans le domaine des moyennes fréquences. Les méthodes basées sur les éléments finis et les approches statistiques les plus couramment utilisées étant peu adaptées pour ce domaine de fréquence (coût de calcul important, méthodes peu flexibles), nous utiliserons le formalisme de la méthode SmEdA (Statistical modal Energy distribution Analysis). L’objectif principal de cette thèse de doctorat est dès lors, d’étendre cette méthode à la prise en compte de l’effet d’amortissement induit par des matériaux dissipatifs. La méthodologie se divise en trois étapes: 1. Les modèles équivalents des matériaux dissipatifs sont établis: (1) un modèle de plaque équivalent pour décrire la plaque amortie par un ou plusieurs patch(s) viscoélastique(s) et (2) un modèle de fluide équivalent pour décrire un matériau poreux agissant dans la cavité. 2. Chaque sous-système amorti est modélisé par éléments finis. Les méthodes MSE (Modal Strain Energy) et MSKE (Modal Strain Kinetic Energy) sont ensuite utilisées pour estimer les facteurs de perte modaux de chaque sous-système. 3. Le calcul SmEdA est effectué sur le système couplé en prenant en compte les facteurs de pertes modaux de chaque sous-système estimés dans la deuxième étape. Le point d’excitation est appliquée à la plaque, en supposant la force stationnaire et large bande. Afin de valider la méthodologie proposée un cas semi-complexe composé d’une plaque rectangulaire couplée à une cavité parallélépipédique est considéré. Ce système peut être utilisé pour étudier l’interaction vibroacoustique entre la structure de la cabine et l’intérieur de l’habitacle. Deux cas d’amortissement sont étudiés pour le système semi-complexe plaque-cavité: (1) un cas où la plaque est amortie avec un (ou plusieurs) patch(s) viscoélastique(s) et (2) un cas où un matériau poreux est placé dans la cavité. Le problème vibroacoustique est pour chaque cas modélisé suivant les trois étapes proposées et analyses dans le formalisme de la méthode SmEdA. Les résultats sont ensuite comparés au cas de référence (sans matériau dissipatif). La dernière partie de la thèse porte sur la validation expérimentale pour chaque cas test de la méthodologie numérique proposée. a mobilité d’éntrée, la puissance injectée et les énergies des sous-systèmes sont comparées aux prédictions numériques. Enfin les facteurs de pertes modaux des sous-systèmes estimés par les méthodes MSE et MSKE sont comparés aux résultats expérimentaux obtenus par la méthode d’analyse modale à haute résolution (méthode ESPRIT)<br>The project CLIC (City Lightweight Innovative Cab) aims to develop a lighter-weighted truck that maintains NVH performances of the initial design. This PhD research is then to establish a vibroacoustic prediction model of a complex structure-bounded fluid system (cabin structure coupled to cabin space) including dissipative treatments (damping or absorbing materials) for the mid-frequency domain. Since most commonly used element based and statistical methods are not suitable for this frequency domain, a proper prediction tool, which should be flexible in modeling capabilities and feasible in computational cost, must be implemented. The SmEdA (Statistical modal Energy distribution Analysis) method is considered in this thesis to comply with these requirements. The main objective of this research is to extend this method for taking account of the damping effect induced by dissipative materials. Development and validation of the methodology are carried out. 1. Dissipative materials are represented by simplified equivalent models: (1) the equivalent single layer model for describing the plate covered with a viscoelastic layer and (2) the equivalent fluid model for describing a porous material into the cavity. 2. Each subsystem including the equivalent models of the dissipative materials is modeled with FEM(Finite Element Model). The FE matrices including the energy dissipation are then computed. The MSE (Modal Strain Energy) and MSKE (Modal Strain Kinetic Energy) methods are used to estimate the modal damping loss factor of each subsystem mode. 3. The SmEdA calculation is performed on a whole system considering the modal damping loss factors estimated in the second step for each subsystem. The power is injected into the plate at a localized point by the stationary white noise force and subsequently, the SmEdA parameters are computed. To validate the proposed methodology, laboratory test cases of the structure-fluid problem composed of a rectangular plate coupled to a parallelepipedic cavity are considered. Such system can be used to study the vibroacoustic interaction between structure and fluid. Two damped test cases of the plate-cavity system are studied: (1) a system with a viscoelastic damping pad on the plate and (2) a system with a composite fibre in the cavity. The damped test cases are modeled following the three steps and are analyzed in the framework of SmEdA. The results are then compared to the original case with no damping treatment. The last part of the thesis presents an experimental validation of the numerical computation results on each test case. Measured quantities such as input mobility, injected power and subsystem energies are compared to the numerical predictions. The modal damping loss factors of the damped subsystems estimated with MSE and MSKE methods are compared to the experimental results estimated by a high-resolution modal analysis method (ESPRIT method)

Over the last decade, an increase in earthquake occurrence in Oklahoma and Kansas has been linked to oilfield wastewater injection disposal, particularly into the regionally underpressured Arbuckle Group. The Arbuckle is hydraulically connected to Precambrian basement through an extensive fracture system, which transmits pressure perturbations from wastewater injections to seismogenic depths. Previous studies have convincingly attributed induced seismicity to pore pressure diffusion and solid elastic stressing, both resulting from fluid waste injection. Recent work adds to the physical understanding of injection-induced seismicity by demonstrating that the density differential between injection fluids and formation brines may also drive fluid pressure into the seismogenic basement. In this thesis, variable density groundwater flow is modeled in a numerical simulation comprising parts of the Anadarko Basin, the Anadarko Shelf, the Cherokee Platform, and the Nemaha Fault Zone as well as injection data from 2006-2018. Results show buoyancy forces interacting with regional stratigraphic dip to force density-driven pressure transients into the deep Anadarko Basin, aligning with previously unexplained earthquakes in that region.<br>Master of Science<br>Increased earthquake activity in Oklahoma and Kansas over the last decade is linked waste disposal related to hydrofracking. Oil and gas produced in the fracking process is often mixed with large amounts of water that is too salty to be used for public or industrial purposes, thus this water is disposed of via injection into deep rock layers in the upper portion of the Earth's interior, or crust. This injection disturbs the crust to trigger earthquakes where none have been historically observed. Previous studies examining this phenomenon assume that the rock layers of the crust lie flat and level; simplify the nature of major faults, or cracks, in the crust; and do not consider differences in water chemistry between injected water and water that already occupies the crust. The study developed in this thesis considers the effect of these three factors with regard to how they influence the extent of the linkage between waste water injection and earthquakes in Oklahoma and Kansas.

Cette thèse étudie la transition solide/fluide dans les fluides à contrainte-seuil, en utilisant des expériences de laboratoire et des simulations numériques. Les résultats obtenus à partir de l’étude de mécanique des fluides sont ensuite appliqués à la dynamique des systèmes magmatiques. Les objectifs sont d’évaluer comment la transition dépend de la structure du fluide et de son élasticité, quels sont les ingrédients nécessaires pour décrire mathématiquement cette transition et le mouvement du fluide, et dans quelles conditions cette description n’est plus valide. Deux systèmes ont été choisis pour la simplicité de leur dynamique dans le cas Newtonien et leur pertinence pour les systèmes géologiques: (1) le mouvement d’une sphère solide, et (2) le développement des panaches thermiques. Dans le premier cas, on a caractérisé expérimentalement la chute libre d’une shère dans un mélange aqueux de gels superabsorbants. L’objectif est ici d’étudier l’influence de la taille des grains de gel qui constituent la structure du fluide sur la dynamique de l’intrusion sphérique. Dans le second cas, l’approche utilisée est numérique, avec des simulations combinant les effets viscoplastiques et viscoélastiques. Le rôle de l’élasticité sur la déformation du fluide est ainsi caractérisé. Les résultats sont ensuite appliqués aux réservoirs magmatiques dans la croûte terrestre, où sont examinés les phénomènes à petite échelle (le mouvement des bulles de gaz et des poches de liquide fondu dans la chambre magmatique) et à grande échelle (la remontée d’un diapir magmatique et la déformation de la croûte au dessus de la chambre magmatique)<br>In this thesis, the solid/flowing transition in yield-stress fluids is investigated using laboratory experiments and numerical simulations. The results obtained from the fluid mechanics study are then applied to the dynamics of magmatic systems. The aims are to evaluate how the transition depends on the fluid structure and its elasticity, what ingredients are needed to describe mathematically this transition and fluid motion, and when this description will break down. Two systems have been chosen for the simplicity of their dynamics in Newtonian fluids and their relevance to geological systems: (1) the motion of a solid sphere, and (2) the development of thermal plumes. Case (1) regards the experimental work on the free-fall of a sphere through a mixture of water and superabsorbent gel grains. The aim here is to investigate the influence that the size of particles which build up the structure of the fluid has on the dynamics of a spherical intruder. Case (2) is instead approached through numerical simulations that combine viscoelasticity and viscoplasticity together. The role of elasticity on the overall deformation of the fluid is characterized. Results are afterwards applied to crustal magmatic reservoirs in which both small scale phenomena (such as the motion of bubbles and melt pockets) and larger scale phenomena (deformation on the top of an entire magmatic chamber) are examined

Cette thèse est consacrée à la modélisation de la ventilation mécanique chez l'humain et à l'analyse numérique des systèmes en découlant. Des simulations directes d'écoulement d'air dans l'ensemble des voies aériennes étant impossibles (maillages indisponibles et géométrie trop complexe), il est nécessaire de considérer un domaine d'intérêt réduit, qui implique de travailler dans une géométrie tronquée, comportant des frontières artificielles ou encore de considérer des modèles réduits simples mais représentatifs. Si on cherche à effectuer des simulations numériques 3D où l'écoulement du fluide est décrit par les équations de Navier-Stokes, différentes problématiques sont soulevées :- Si on considère que la ventilation est la conséquence de différences de pression, les conditions aux limites associées sont des conditions de type Neumann. Cela aboutit à des questions théoriques en terme d'existence et d'unicité de solution et à des questions numériques en terme de choix de schémas et de méthodes adaptées.- Lorsque l'on travaille dans un domaine tronqué, il peut être nécessaire de prendre en compte les phénomènes non décrits grâce à des modèles réduits appropriés. Ici nous considérons des modèles 0D. Ces couplages 3D/0D sont à l'origine d'instabilités numériques qu'on étudie mathématiquement et numériquement dans ce manuscrit. Par ailleurs, lorsqu'on s'intéresse à des régimes de respiration forcée, les modèles usuels linéaires sont invalidés par les expériences. Afin d'observer les différences entre les résultats expérimentaux et numériques, il est nécessaire de prendre en compte plusieurs types de non linéarités, comme la déformation du domaine ou les phénomènes de type Bernoulli. Une approche par modèles réduits est adoptée dans ce travail.Pour finir, on a cherché à valider les modèles obtenus en comparant des résultats numériques et des résultats expérimentaux dans le cadre d'un travail interdisciplinaire.Parvenir à modéliser et simuler ces écoulements permet de mieux comprendre les phénomènes et paramètres qui entrent en jeu lors de pathologies (asthme, emphysème...). Un des objectifs à moyen terme est d'étudier l'influence du mélange hélium-oxygène sur le dépôt d'aérosol, toujours dans le cadre du travail interdisciplinaire. A plus long terme, l'application de ces modèles à des situations pathologiques pourrait permettre de construire des outils d'aide à la décision dans le domaine médical (compréhension de la pathologie, optimisation de thérapie...)<br>In this thesis, we study the modelling of the human mecanical ventilation and the numerical analysis of linked systems. Direct simulations of air flow in the whole airways are impossible (complex geometry, unavailable meshes). Then a reduced area of interest can be considered, working with reduced geometries and artificial boundaries. One can also use reduced models, simple but realistic. If one try to make 3D numerical simulations where the fluid flow is described by the Navier-Stokes equations, various issues are raised:- If we consider that ventilation is the result of pressure drops, the associated boundary conditions are Neumann conditions. It leads to theoretical questions in terms of existence and uniqueness of solution and numerical issues in terms of scheme choice and appropriate numerical methods.- When working in a truncated domain, it may be necessary to take into account non-described phenomena with appropriate models. Here we consider 0D models. These 3D/0D couplings imply numerical instabilities that we mathematically and numerically study in this thesis.Furthermore, when we focus on forced breathing, linear usual models are invalidated by experiments. In order to observe the differences between the experimental and numerical results, it is necessary to take into account several types of non-linearities, such as deformation of the domain or the Bernoulli phenomenon. A reduced model approach is adopted in this work. Finally, we sought to validate the obtained models by comparing numerical and experimental results in the context of interdisciplinary work.Achieving model and simulate these flows allow to better understand phenomena and parameters that come into play in diseases (asthma, emphysema ...). A medium-term objective is to study the influence of helium-oxygen mixture in the aerosol deposition. In the longer term, the application of these models to pathological situations could afford to build decision support tools in the medical field (understanding of pathology, therapy optimization ...)

Arch-shaped microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have been used as mechanical memories, micro-sensors, micro-actuators, and micro-valves. A bi-stable structure, such as an arch, is characterized by a multivalued load deflection curve. Here we study the symmetry breaking, the snap-through instability, and the pull-in instability of bi-stable arch shaped MEMS under steady and transient electric loads. We analyze transient finite electroelastodynamic deformations of perfect electrically conducting clamped-clamped beams and arches suspended over a flat rigid semi-infinite perfect conductor. The coupled nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) for mechanical deformations are solved numerically by the finite element method (FEM) and those for the electrical problem by the boundary element method.
The coupled nonlinear PDE governing transient deformations of the arch based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory is solved numerically using the Galerkin method, mode shapes for a beam as basis functions, and integrated numerically with respect to time. For the static problem, the displacement control and the pseudo-arc length continuation (PALC) methods are used to obtain the bifurcation curve of archâ s deflection versus the electric potential. The displacement control method fails to compute archâ s asymmetric deformations that are found by the PALC method.
For the dynamic problem, two distinct mechanisms of the snap-through instability are found. It is shown that critical loads and geometric parameters for instabilities of an arch with and without the consideration of mechanical inertia effects are quite different. A phase diagram between a critical load parameter and the arch height is constructed to delineate different regions of instabilities.
The local water slamming refers to the impact of a part of a ship hull on stationary water for a short duration during which high local pressures occur. We simulate slamming impact of rigid and deformable hull bottom panels by using the coupled Lagrangian and Eulerian formulation in the commercial FE software LS-DYNA. The Lagrangian formulation is used to describe planestrain deformations of the wedge and the Eulerian description of motion for deformations of the water. A penalty contact algorithm couples the wedge with the water surface. Damage and delamination induced, respectively, in a fiber reinforced composite panel and a sandwich composite panel and due to hydroelastic pressure are studied.<br>Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
For the past four decades, Mars missions have relied on Viking heritage technology for supersonic descent. Extending the use of propulsion, which is required for Mars subsonic deceleration, into the supersonic regime allows the ability to land larger payload masses. Wind tunnel and computational experiments on subscale supersonic retropropulsion models have shown a complex aerodynamic flow field characterized by the interaction of underexpanded jet plumes exhausting from nozzles on the vehicle with the supersonic freestream. Understanding the impact of vehicle and nozzle configuration on this interaction is critical for analyzing the performance of a supersonic retropropulsion system, as deceleration will have components provided by both the aerodynamic drag of the vehicle and thrust from the nozzles.
This investigation focuses on the validity of steady state computational approaches to analyze supersonic retropropulsion flowfield structures and their effect on vehicle aerodynamics. Wind tunnel data for a single nozzle and a multiple nozzle configuration are used to validate a steady state, turbulent computational fluid dynamics approach to modeling supersonic retropropulsion. An analytic approximation to determine plume and bow shock structure in the flow field is also developed, enabling rapid assessment of flowfield structure for use in improved grid generation and as a configuration screening tool. Results for both the computational fluid dynamics and analytic approaches show good agreement with the experimental datasets. Potential limitations of the two methods are identified based on the comparisons with available data.
Six additional geometries are defined to investigate the extensibility of the analytical model and determine the variation of supersonic retropropulsion performance with configuration. These validation geometries are split into two categories: three geometries with nozzles located on the vehicle forebody at varying nozzle cant angles, and three geometries with nozzles located on the vehicle aftbody at varying nozzle cant angles and number of nozzles.
The forebody nozzle configurations show that nozzle cant angle is a significant driver in performance of a vehicle employing supersonic retropropulsion. Aerodynamic drag preservation for a given thrust level increases with increasing cant angle. However, increasing the cant angle reduces the contribution of thrust to deceleration. The tradeoff between these two contributions to the deceleration force is examined, noting that performance improvements are possible with modest nozzle cant angles. Static pitch stability characteristics are investigated for the lowest and highest cant angle configurations.
The aftbody nozzle configuration results show that removing the plume flow from the region forward of the vehicle results in less interaction with the bow shock structure. This impacts aerodynamic performance, as the surface pressure remains relatively undisturbed for all thrust values examined. Static pitch stability characteristics for each of the aftbody nozzle configurations are investigated; noting that supersonic retropropulsion for these configurations exhibits a transition point from static stability to instability as a function of this center of mass location along the axis.

Full textAbstract:
Dans ce travail, nous nous intéressons à deux problèmes de la théorie des systèmes hyperboliques faisant intervenir des interfaces. Le premier concerne des modèles de couplages entre un fluide compressible et une particule ponctuelle et le second concerne la capture numérique précise des chocs, ces discontinuités qui apparaissent dans les solutions des systèmes hyperboliques.Sur la première thématique, nous commençons par introduire les différents modèles, dans lesquels la particule et le fluide interagissent à travers une force de frottement qui tend à rapprocher leurs vitesses. Le couplage est singulier car il fait intervenir le produit d’une fonction discontinue par une mesure de Dirac. On peut toutefois définir précisément le système en voyant la particule comme une interface à travers laquelle des relations liant les propriétés du fluide et celle de la particule sont imposées. Lorsque le fluide suit une équation de Burgers, nous démontrons la convergence d’une classe de schéma numérique, et nous obtenons l’existence d’une solution au problème de Cauchy pour une donnée initiale à variation totale bornée. Dans le cas plus complexe où le fluide est décrit par les équa- tions d’Euler isothermes, on prouve l’existence et l’unicité d’une solution autosemblable au problème de Riemann lorsque la particule est immobile. Des simulations numériques sont également présentées.La dernière partie de la thèse est consacrée à la construction de schémas non diffusifs pour les systèmes hyperboliques. Ces schémas, de type volumes finis, sont construits pour être exact lorsque la donnée initiale est un choc isolé. Ils sont basé sur une reconstruction discontinue de la solution au début de chaque itération en temps, dans le but de reconstituer des chocs à l’intérieur de certaines cellules du maillage. Cette stratégie mène à des schémas très peu diffusifs qui, lorsque l’opérateur de reconstruction est bien choisi, approchent correctement les solutions de cas tests problématiques (chocs lents, chocs forts, réflexions pour la dynamique des gaz, chocs non classiques pour les systèmes qui ne sont pas vraiment non linéaires)<br>In this work, we study two problems concerning hyperbolic systems involving interfaces. The first one concerns the study of models of coupling between a compressible fluid and a pointwise particle. The second one deals with the sharp numerical approximation of shocks, which are discontinuities that appear in the solutions of hyperbolic systems.In the first two parts of the manuscript, we introduce different models of fluid-particle couplings. The fluid and the particle interact on each other through a drag force, which brings their velocities closer to one another. The coupling is singular because it can be written as the product of a discontinuous function by a Dirac measure. However, the system can be precisely defined as follows. The particle is seen as an interface through which interface conditions linking the properties of the fluid with those of the particle are imposed. When the fluid follows the compressible Burgers equations, we prove the convergence of a family of finite volume schemes and obtain the existence of a solution when the initial data has total bounded variation. In the more difficult case where the fluid is described by the isothermal Euler equations, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a selfsimilar solution to the Riemann problem, when the particle is motionless. Numerical experiments are also presented.In the last part of this work, we build non diffusive numerical schemes for different hyperbolic systems. These finite volume schemes are built to be exact when the initial data is an isolated shock. They are based on a discontinuous reconstruction of the solution at the beginning of each time step, in order to reconstruct shocks inside some specific cells of the mesh. The schemes we present have a very low numerical diffusion and, when the reconstruction operator is well chosen, they are able to correctly approximate the solution on various problematic test cases. These cases include slowly moving shocks, strong shocks and shock reflections for gas dynamics, as well as the apparition of nonclassical shocks for systems that are not truely nonlinear

Cette thèse est consacrée à l'optimisation de la topologie et de la forme de systèmesmultiphysiques motivés par des applications de l'industrie aéronautique. Nouscalculons les dérivées de forme de fonctions de coût arbitraires pour un modèlefluide, thermique et mécanique faiblement couplé. Nous développons ensuite unalgorithme de type gradient adapté à la résolution de problèmes d'optimisation deformes sous contraintes qui ne requiert par de réglage de paramètres nonphysiques.

Tous ces ingrédients ont été employés pour traiterune variété de cas tests d'optimisation de formes pour des systèmes multi-physiques2-d ou 3-d.

Shape derivatives of arbitraryobjective functionals are computed for a weakly coupled thermal fluid-structuremodel. A novel gradient flow type algorithm is then developed for solving genericconstrained shape optimization problems without the need for tuning non-physicalmetaparameters. Motivated by the need for enforcing non-mixing constraints in thedesign of liquid-liquid heat exchangers, a variational method is developed in orderto simplify the numerical evaluation of geometric constraints: it allows to computeline integrals on a mesh by solving a variational problem without requiring theexplicit knowledge of these lines on the spatial discretization. All theseingredients allowed us to implement a variety of 2-d and 3-d multiphysics shapeoptimization test cases: from single, double or three physics problems in 2-d, tomoderately large-scale 3-d test cases for structural design, thermal conduction,aerodynamic design and a fluid-structure interacting system. A final opening chapterderives high order homogenized equations for perforated elliptic systems. These highorder equations encompass the three classical regimes of homogenized modelsassociated with different obstacle's size scalings. They could allow, in futureworks, to develop new topology optimization methods for fluid systems characterizedby multi-scale patterns as commonly encountered in industrial heat exchanger designs

Thesis (MScEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A high temperature reactor (HTR) generates heat inside of the reactor core through
nuclear fission, from where the heat is transferred through the core and heats up the reactor pressure vessel (RPV). The heat from the RPV is transported passively through the
reactor cavity, where it is cooled by the reactor cavity cooling system (RCCS), through
the concrete confinement structure and ultimately into the environment. The concrete
confinement structure can withstand temperatures of up to 65°C for normal operating
conditions and temperatures of up to 125°C during an emergency. This project endeavours to research the heat transfer between an HTR’s RPV and the outside of the
concrete confinement structure by utilising three investigative approaches: experimental,
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and analytical.
The first approach, an experimental analysis, required the development of an experi-
mental model. The model was used to perform experiments and gather temperature data
that could be used to verify the accuracy of the CFD simulations. The second approach
was a CFD analysis of the experimental model, and the external concrete temperatures
from the simulation were compared with the temperatures measured with the experimen-
tal model. Finally, an analytical analysis was performed in order to better understand
CFD and how CFD solves natural convection-type problems. The experiments were performed successfully and the measurements taken were com-
pared with the CFD results. The CFD results are in good agreement with the Dry
experiments, but not with the Charged experiments. It was identified that the inaccurate
results for the CFD simulations of the Charged experiments arose due to convective heat
leakage through gaps in the heat shield and between the heat shield and the sides of the
experimental model. A computer program was developed for the analytical analysis and
it was established that the program could successfully solve the natural convection in a
square cavity - as required.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: ’n Hoë temperatuur reaktor (HTR) genereer hitte binne die reaktor kern deur kernsplyting en die hitte word dan deur die kern versprei en verhit die reaktor se drukvat. Die hitte
van die reaktor drukvat word dan passief deur die reaktorholte versprei, waar dit deur
die reaktorholte se verkoelingstelsel afgekoel word, en deur die beton beskermingstruktuur gelei word en uiteindelik die omgewing bereik. Die beton beskermingstruktuur kan
temperature van tot 65°C onder normale operasietoestande van die reaktor weerstaan, en
temperature van tot 125°C tydens ’n noodgeval. Hierdie projek poog om die hitte-oordrag
tussen ’n HTR-reaktor drukvat en die buitekant van die beton beskermingstruktuur te on-
dersoek deur gebruik te maak van drie ondersoekbenaderings: eksperimenteel, numeriese
vloei dinamika (NVD) en analities. Die eerste benadering, ’n eksperimentele analise, het die ontwikkeling van ’n eksper-
imentele model vereis. Die model is gebruik om eksperimente uit te voer en temperatu-
urmetings te neem wat gebruik kon word om die akkuraatheid van die NVD simulasies
te bevestig. Die tweede benadering was ’n NVD-analise van die eksperimentele model,
en die eksterne betontemperature verkry van die simulasies is vergelyk met die gemete
temperature van die eksperimente. Uiteindelik is ’n analitiese analise uitgevoer ten einde
NVD beter te verstaan en hoe NVD natuurlike konveksie-tipe probleme sal oplos.
Die eksperimente is suksesvol uitgevoer en die metings is gebruik om die NVD resultate
mee te vergelyk. Die NVD resultate van die Droë eksperimente het goeie akkuraatheid
getoon. Dit was nie die geval vir die Gelaaide eksperimente nie. Daar is geïdentifiseer dat
die verskille in resultate tussen die NVD en die eksperimente aan natuurlike konveksie
hitte verliese deur gapings in die hitteskuld en tussen die hitteskuld en die kante van
die eksperimentele model toegeskryf kan word. ’n Rekenaarprogram is geskryf vir die
analitiese ontleding en die program kon suksesvol die natuurlike konveksie in ’n vierkantige
ruimte oplos.

Full textAbstract:
The highly optimized performance of nature’s creations and biological assemblies has inspired the development of their engineered counter parts that can potentially outperform conventional systems. In particular, bat wings are populated with air flow hair receptors which feedback the information about airflow over their surfaces for enhanced stability and maneuverability during their flight. The hairs in the bat wing membrane play a role in the maneuverability tasks, especially during low-speed flight. The developments of artificial hair sensors (AHS) are inspired by biological hair cells in aerodynamic feedback control designs. Current mathematical models for hair receptors are limited by strict simplifying assumptions of creeping flow hair Reynolds number on AHS fluid-structure interaction (FSI), which may be violated for hair structures integrated on small-scaled Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). This study motivates by an outstanding need to understand the dynamic response of hair receptors in flow regimes relevant to bat-scaled UAVs. The dynamic response of the hair receptor within the creeping flow environment is investigated at distinct freestream velocities to extend the applicability of AHS to a wider range of low Reynolds number platforms. Therefore, a threedimensional FSI model coupled with a finite element model using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is developed for a hair-structure and multiple hair-structures in the airflow. The Navier-Stokes equations including continuity equation are solved numerically for the CFD model. The grid independence of the FSI solution is studied from the simulations of the hairstructure mesh and flow mesh around the hair sensor. To describe the dynamic response of the hair receptors, the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the hair receptors, computed from the finite element model, are compared with the excitation frequencies in vacuum. This model is described with both the boundary layer effects and effects of inertial forces due to fluid-structure xiv interaction of the hair receptors. For supporting the FSI model, the dynamic response of the hair receptor is also validated considering the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory including the steady and unsteady airflow.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse est dédiée à la conception optimale de la machine synchrone à rotor bobiné modulaire sans balais pour les systèmes embarqués. Cette machine est basée sur une structure POKIPOKITM développée par Mitsubishi Electric Coopération avec les convertisseurs de puissance intégrée pour augmenter la capacité de tolérance aux défauts. L'analyse électromagnétique est utilisée pour étudier les différentes machines synchrones à rotor bobiné et donc, pour sélectionner la structure qui offre la meilleure tolérance aux défauts et les performances les plus élevées. D’abord, le choix des nombres de phases, d’encoches et de pôles est un point critique. Ensuite, quelques machines sont analysées et comparées selon les critères tels que la densité de couple, le rendement, l'ondulation de couple. La machine avec 7 phases, 7 encoches et 6 pôles est alors choisie. Cette machine est ensuite comparée à la machine synchrone à aimant permanent monté en surface. Le résultat démontre que la machine synchrone à rotor bobiné modulaire sans balais possède le potentiel de remplacer la machine synchrone à aimant permanent dans notre application parce qu’elle présente des performances similaires avec une capacité de tolérance aux défauts élevée. Dans un second temps, une fois la structure 7phases/7encoches/6pôles choisie, cette machine est optimisée en utilisant NOMAD (qui est un logiciel d'optimisation de boîte noire) afin de minimiser le volume externe sous les contraintes électromagnétiques, thermiques et mécaniques. Comme ce problème d'optimisation est extrêmement difficile à résoudre, quelques relaxations ont été effectuées pour tester les différents algorithmes d'optimisation : fmincon (de Matlab) et NOMAD. Nous remarquons que NOMAD est plus efficace que fmincon pour trouver des solutions à ce problème de conception où certaines contraintes sont calculées par des simulations numériques (ANSYS Maxwell ; code éléments finis). En utilisant la méthode NOMAD basée sur l’algorithme Mesh Adaptive Direct Search, nous obtenons des résultats optimaux qui satisfont toutes les contraintes proposées. Il est nécessaire de valider ce design optimisé en vérifiant toutes les contraintes par des simulations électromagnétiques et thermiques en 3D. Les résultats montrent que le couple moyen obtenu par la simulation en 3D est inférieur à la valeur souhaitée. Par conséquent, en augmentant la longueur de la machine, une nouvelle machine corrigée est ainsi obtenue. Nous observons que les pertes de fer obtenues en 3D sont plus élevées qu'en 2D en raison du flux de fuite dans la tête de bobinage. En prenant les valeurs des pertes analysées par la simulation en 3D, la température de surface de la nouvelle machine analysée par la méthode Computational Fluid Dynamics est plus élevée que celle calculée dans l’optimisation. Enfin, un prototype de machine est construit et quelques tests expérimentaux est réalisés. Le résultat montre que la force électromotrice à vide a une forme d'onde similaire par rapport à la prédiction numérique en 3D et la différence de couple statique maximum entre les tests expérimentaux et les simulations par éléments finis en 3D est faible<br>This thesis is dedicated to the design and the optimization of modular brushless wound rotor synchronous machine for embedded systems. This machine is constructed based on POKIPOKITM structure with integrated drive electronics. Finite element analysis based optimization becomes more popular in the field of electrical machine design because analytical equations are not easily formalized for the machines which have complicate structures. Using electromagnetic analysis to comparatively study different modular brushless wound rotor synchronous machines and therefore, to select the structure which offers the best fault tolerant capability and the highest output performances. Firstly, the fundamental winding factor calculated by using the method based on voltage phasors is considered as a significant criterion in order to select the numbers of phases, stator slots and poles. After that, 2D finite element numerical simulations are carried out for a set of 15 machines to analyze their performances. The simulation results are then compared to find an appropriate machine according to torque density, torque ripple and machine efficiency. The 7phase/7-slot/6-pole machine is chosen and compared with a reference design surfacemounted permanent magnet synchronous machine in order to evaluate the interesting performance features of the wound rotor synchronous machine. In the second design stage, this machine is optimized by using derivative-free optimization. The objective is to minimize external volume under electromagnetic, thermal and mechanical constraints. Given that an accurate finite element analysis for machine performance takes a long time. Moreover, considering that the average torque can be obtained by simulating the model with only four rotor positions instead of one electric period, optimization strategy is proposed to reduce computational time and therefore, obtain a fast convergence ability by defining relaxed problems which enable minimizing the external volume of the machine under only several constraints such as average torque, torque ripple and copper losses. By testing relaxed problems, two different optimization methods (NOMAD and fmincon) are compared in order to select an appropriate method for our optimization problem. Using NOMAD method based on Mesh Adaptive Direct Search, we achieve optimal results which satisfy all of the constraints proposed. In the third design stage, all constraints are validated by 3D electromagnetic and thermal simulations using finite element and computational fluid dynamics methods. The 3D results show that the average torque obtained is lower than the desired value. By increasing the length of the machine, a new corrected machine is thus obtained. It can be observed that the iron losses obtained in 3D are higher than that in 2D due to the leakage flux in the end-winding. Then, the machine temperature is analyzed by using ANSYS Fluent. Note that the surface temperature is higher than that calculated in the optimization and the coil temperature is 8.48°C higher than the desired value (105°C). However, some dissipation by the shaft and the bearings of the machine are expected to reduce the machine temperature. Finally, a machine prototype is built and some experimental tests are carried out. The results show that the electromotive force has a similar waveform compared to 3D prediction and the difference of the measured and predicted maximum static torques is small

Cette thèse est motivée par un problème aéronautique: le ballottement du carburantdans des réservoirs d’ailes d’avion très flexibles. Les vibrations induites par le couplagedu fluide avec la structure peuvent conduire à des problèmes tels que l’inconfort des passagers,une manoeuvrabilité réduite, voire même provoquer un comportement instable. Cette thèse apour objectif de développer de nouveaux modèles d’interaction fluide-structure, en mettant enoeuvre la théorie des systèmes Hamiltoniens à ports d’interaction (pHs). Le formalisme pHsfournit d’une part un cadre unifié pour la description des systèmes multi-physiques complexeset d’autre part une approche modulaire pour l’interconnexion des sous-systèmes grâce auxports d’interaction. Cette thèse s’intéresse aussi à la conception de contrôleurs à partir desmodèles pHs. Des modèles pHs sont proposés pour les équations de ballottement du liquide en partantdes équations de Saint Venant en 1D et 2D. L’originalité du travail est de donner des modèlespHs pour le ballottement dans des réservoirs en mouvement. Les ports d’interaction sont utiliséspour coupler la dynamique du ballottement à la dynamique d’une poutre contrôlée par desactionneurs piézo-électriques, celle-ci étant préalablement modélisée sous forme pHs. Aprèsl’écriture des équations aux dérivées partielles dans le formalisme pHs, une approximation endimension finie est obtenue en utilisant une méthode pseudo-spectrale géométrique qui conservela structure pHs du modèle continu au niveau discret.

The vibrations due to these coupled phenomena can lead to problemslike reduced passenger comfort and maneuverability, and even unstable behavior. Thisthesis aims at developing new models of fluid-structure interaction based on the theory ofport-Hamiltonian systems (pHs). The pHs formalism provides a unified framework for thedescription of complex multi-physics systems and a modular approach for the coupling ofsubsystems thanks to interconnection ports. Furthermore, the design of controllers using pHsmodels is also addressed. PHs models are proposed for the equations of liquid sloshing based on 1D and 2D SaintVenant equations and for the equations of structural dynamics. The originality of the workis to give pHs models of sloshing in moving containers. The interconnection ports are used tocouple the sloshing dynamics to the structural dynamics of a beam controlled by piezoelectricactuators. After writing the partial differential equations of the coupled system using thepHs formalism, a finite-dimensional approximation is obtained by using a geometric pseudospectralmethod that preserves the pHs structure of the infinite-dimensional model at thediscrete level. The thesis proposes several extensions of the geometric pseudo-spectral method,allowing the discretization of systems with second-order differential operators and with anunbounded input operator. Experimental tests on a structure made of a beam connected to atank were carried out to validate both the pHs model of liquid sloshing in moving containersand the pseudo-spectral semi-discretization method. The pHs model was finally used to designa passivity-based controller for reducing the vibrations of the coupled system

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse est motivée par la modélisation et la simulation numérique des phénomènes d'interaction fluide-structure autour de valves cardiaques. L'interaction avec la paroi des vaisseaux est traitée avec une formulation Arbitraire Lagrange Euler (ALE), tandis que l'interaction avec les valves est traitée à l'aide de multiplicateurs de Lagrange, dans une formulation de type Domaines Fictifs (FD). Après une présentation de synthèse des diverses méthodes utilisées en interaction fluide-structure dans les écoulements sanguins, nous décrivons une méthode permettant de simuler la dynamique d'une valve immergée dans un écoulement visqueux incompressible. L'algorithme de couplage est partionné, ce qui permet de conserver des solveurs fluides et structures indépendants. Le maillage du fluide est mobile pour suivre la paroi des vaisseaux, mais indépendant du maillage des valves. Ceci autorise des très grands déplacements sans nécessiter de remaillage. Nous proposons une stratégie pour gérer le contact entre plusieurs valves. L'algorithme est totalement indépendant des solveurs de structures et est bien adapté au couplage fluide-structure partionné. Enfin, nous proposons un schéma de couplage semi-implicite permettant de mêler efficacement les formulations ALE et FD. Toutes les méthodes considérées sont accompagnées de nombreux tests numériques en 2D et 3D.

Cette thèse porte sur la sécurité globale des structures en matériaux hétérogènes saturés soumis à des charges extrêmes, et est appliquée à des problèmes d’interaction fluide-structure, tels que l’interaction barrage-réservoir. Un modèle numérique d’interaction est proposé pour prédire les principales tendances et le comportement général d’un barrage en matériau saturé en interaction avec le réservoir dans des analyses de défaillance d’intérêt pratique. Le modèle numérique proposé est d’abord présenté dans un cadre bidimensionnel (2D), puis étendu à un cadre tridimensionnel (3D). La structure est considérée comme un milieu poreux saturé constitué d’un matériau cohésif. On suppose que le fluide externe en interaction avec la structure agit comme une source de saturation des pores. La réponse de la structure en matériau saturé est décrite avec un modèle lattice discrete couplé de type poutre, basé sur la discrétisation du domaine avec la tessellation de Voronoï, où les liens cohésifs sont représentés par des poutres de Timoshenko non linéaires avec un champ de déplacements enrichi en termes de discontinuités fortes. Le couplage entre la phase solide et le fluide dans les pores est traité avec la théorie de Biot et la loi de Darcy décrivant l’écoulement d’un fluide à travers d’un milieu poreux. La prise en compte numérique du couplage interne ajoute un degré de liberté supplémentaire du type pression à chaque nœud de l’élément fini de Timoshenko, qui est ensuite utilisé pour résoudre les problèmes d’interface entre la structure et le fluide. On considère que le fluide externe dans le réservoir est limité à des petits mouvements, ce qui nous permet de le modéliser avec la théorie des ondes acoustiques. Pour cela, la formulation lagrangienne avec l’approximation mixte déplacement-pression est choisie. Le traitement de l’interface fluide-structure dans le modèle numérique d’interaction est résolu d’une manière simple et efficace. Notamment, les éléments finis de la structure et du fluide externe partagent les mêmes degrés de liberté dans les nœuds communs, permettant ainsi la résolution du système d’équations avec une approche de calcul monolithique. Toutes les implémentations et les simulations numériques sont effectués avec la version recherche du code informatique FEAP (Finite Element Analysis Program). Les modèles numériques proposés pour la structure, le fluide externe et le modèle d’interaction sont validés dans le régime élastique linéaire en comparant les résultats calculés avec les valeurs de référence obtenues soit avec des solutions analytiques, soit avec des modèles continus. Les simulations numériques dans le régime non linéaire ont comme but de démontrer les capacités du modèle proposé de capturer la réponse complète à l’échelle macro et les mécanismes de rupture des structures en matériaux saturés. Enfin, la capacité du modèle d’interaction proposé de traiter la défaillance localisée progressive d’un barrage construit en matériau cohésif poreux sous l’interaction barrage-réservoir a été testé pour un programme de chargement spécifique. Pour prendre en compte les effets de la température, le couplage thermique est introduit dans le modèle numérique de la structure<br>This thesis studies the issue of the overall safety of structures built of heterogeneous and pore-saturated materials under extreme loads in application to fluid-structure interaction problems, such as the dam-reservoir interaction. We propose a numerical model of interaction capable of predicting main tendencies and overall behavior of pore-saturated dam structure interacting with the reservoir in failure analyses of practical interest. The proposed numerical model is first presented in two-dimensional (2D) framework and later extended to three-dimensional (3D) framework. We consider the structure built of porous cohesive material. We assume that the external fluid in interaction with the structure acts as a source of pore saturation. We model the response of the pore-saturated structure with the coupled discrete beam lattice model based on Voronoi cell representation of domain with inelastic Timoshenko beam finite elements enhanced with additional kinematics in terms of embedded strong discontinuities acting as cohesive links. The coupling between the solid phase and the pore fluid is handled with Biot’s porous media theory, and Darcy’s law governing the pore fluid flow. The numerical consideration of internal coupling results with an additional pressure-type degree of freedom placed at each node of the Timoshenko beam finite element, which is later used at the fluidstructure interface. The confined conditions met for external fluid placed in the reservoir enable the modeling of external fluid motion with the acoustic wave theory. For the numerical representation of the external fluid limited to small (irrotational) motion, we choose a Lagrangian formulation and the mixed displacement/pressure based finite element approximation. The end result are the displacement and pressure degrees of freedom per node of external fluid finite elements, which allows for the issue of the fluid-structure interface to be solved in an efficient and straightforward manner by directly connecting the structure and external fluid finite elements at common nodes. As a result, all computations can be performed in a fully monolithic manner. All numerical implementations and computations are performed with the research version of the computer code FEAP (Finite Element Analysis Program). The proposed numerical models of structure, external fluid and ultimately numerical model of interaction are validated in the linear elastic regime of structure response by comparing computed results against reference values obtained either with analytical solutions or continuum models. The numerical simulations in the nonlinear regime of structure response are performed with the aim to demonstrate the proposed coupled discrete beam lattice model capabilities to capture complete macro-scale response and failure mechanisms in pore-saturated structures. Finally, the proposed numerical model of interaction ability to deal with the progressive localized failure of a dam structure built of porous cohesive material under damreservoir interaction for a particular loading program was tested. To account for the temperature effects, the thermal coupling is introduced in the numerical model of the structure

Modelling of biological flows has received growing attention in the last years. The fluid dynamics in the heart cavities and the fluid tissue interaction present several modelling difficulties and their understanding is still far from being satisfactory. Therefore, an innovative numerical model basis for the complex hemodynamics in biomechanical systems is developed. This method, named Immersed Finite Element Method is based on different numerical methods previously derived by gathering all their merits and eliminating their shortcomings. A new algorithm, that follows the principle of the physical virtual method, is implemented to ensure the rigidity at fluid-rigid solid interface. Detailed derivation of the method is presented. Biomechanical systems are then modelized starting from the simulations of blood flow in arteries with the aim of validating the method at physiologic conditions and capturing relevant hemodynamic parameters prone to atherosclerosis. The results lead to a better understanding of atherosclerosis. Finally, the left atrium function in sinus and abnormal rhythm is studied. The aim of this study is to understand the importance of the left atrial appendage in the development of strokes in those suffering from atrial fibrillation. Using IFEM, a solution is obtained at physiologic Reynolds numbers by applying pulmonary venous inflow and appropriate constitutive equations to closely mimic the overall behavior of the myocardium muscle. Hemodynamic parameters and velocity fields are investigated and the influence of the presence of the left atrial appendage is discussed. This model leads to a better understanding of the flow in the left atrial appendage and zones that seem to be particularly favorable to thrombus formation are identified<br>acase@tulane.edu

Full textAbstract:
It is well known that when a flexible or flexibly-mounted structure is placed perpendicular to the flow of a Newtonian fluid, it can oscillate due to the shedding of separated vortices at high Reynolds numbers. If the same flexible object is placed in non-Newtonian flows, however, the structure's response is still unknown. The main objective of this thesis is to introduce a new field of viscoelastic fluid-structure interactions by showing that the elastic instabilities that occur in the flow of viscoelastic fluids can drive the motion of a flexible structure placed in its path. Unlike Newtonian fluids, the flow of viscoelastic fluids can become unstable at infinitesimal Reynolds numbers due to the onset of a purely elastic flow instability. This instability occurs in the absence of nonlinear effects of fluid inertia and the Reynolds number of the flows studied here are in the order of 10-4. When such an elastic flow instability occurs in the vicinity of a flexible structure, the fluctuating fluid forces exerted on the structure grow large enough to cause a structural instability which in turn feeds back into the fluid resulting in a flow instability. Nonlinear periodic oscillations of the flexible structure are observed which have been found to be coupled to the time-dependent growth and decay of viscoelastic stresses in the wake of the structure. Presented in this thesis are the results of an investigation of the interaction occurring in the flow of a viscoelastic wormlike micelle solution past a flexible rectangular sheet. The structural geometries studied include: flexible sheet inclinations at 20°, 45° and 90° and flexible sheet widths of 5mm and 2.5mm. By varying the flow velocity, the response of the flexible sheet has been characterized in terms of amplitude and frequency of oscillations. Steady and dynamic shear rheology and filament stretching extensional rheology measurements are conducted in order to characterize the viscoelastic wormlike micelle solution. Bright field images show the deformation of the flexible sheet during an unstable oscillation while flow-induced birefringence images highlight the viscoleastic fluid stresses produced in the wake of the flexible sheet.

Full textAbstract:
博士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>工程科學及海洋工程學研究所<br>107<br>The present work aims at developing a numerical solver for fluid–structure interac- tion (FSI) problems, especially those encountered in biology such as blood circulation in valved veins. Blood flow is investigated using anatomically and physically relevant models.
Computational procedures are conceived, designed, and implemented in a platform that couples the cheapest cost and the fastest processing using high-performance comput- ing.
The first aspect of FSI problems is related to management of algorithm stability. An Eulerian monolithic formulation based on the characteristic method unconditionally achieves stability and introduce a first order in time approximation with two distinct hy- perelastic material models.
The second aspect deals with between-solid domain contact such as that between valve leaflets during closure and in the closed state over a finite surface, which avoid vcusp tilting and back flow. A contact algorithm is proposed and validated using benchmarks.
Computational study of blood flow in valved veins is investigated, once the solver was verified and validated. The 2D computational domain comprises a single basic unit or the ladder-like model of a deep and superficial veins communicating by a set of perforating veins. A 3D mesh of the basic unit was also built. Three-dimensional computation relies on high performance computing.
Blood that contains cells and plasma is a priori a heterogeneous medium. However, it can be assumed homogeneous in large blood vessels, targets of the present study. Red blood capsules that represent the vast majority of blood cells (97%) can deform and aggregate, influencing blood rheology. However, in large veins, in the absence of stagnant flow regions, blood behaves as a Newtonian fluid.
Blood flow dynamics is strongly coupled to vessel wall mechanics. Deformable vascular walls of large veins and arteries are composed of three main layers (intima, media, and adventitia) that consist of composite material with a composition specific to each layer. In the present work, the wall rheology is assumed to be a Mooney–Rivlin material.

<p>This thesis addresses complexity reduction in periodic fluid-structure systems at low forcing frequencies. A novel quasi-steady time scaling framework is developed to relate the dynamics of a forced system to a corresponding unforced system. </p>
<p>Particle Image Velocimetry and dye flow visualization are used to study the streamwise-oscillating cylinder's wake at a mean Reynolds number of 900. Forcing frequencies both one and two orders of magnitude below the stationary shedding frequency are considered. Forcing amplitudes are such that the instantaneous Reynolds number remains above the critical value at all times. It is shown that this forcing regime is synonymous with the development of both frequency and amplitude modulation in the wake. While frequency modulation is linked to vortex shedding, amplitude modulation arises due to symmetric reorganization of the wake at certain phases in the forcing cycle. Furthermore, Dynamic Mode Decomposition is used to extract underlying flow structures and quasi-steady time scaling is employed to relate dynamics to the corresponding unforced system. Specifically, forcing regimes where quasi-steady shedding can develop are identified and time is scaled to transform the system to resemble the stationary cylinder at the same mean Reynolds number.</p>
<p>Experimental flowfields are also used to analyze the wake of a surface mounted hemisphere subject to a highly pulsatile freestream, characterized by a forcing amplitude equal to the mean. Although this flow sees regular shedding of hairpin vortices in the unforced case, pulsatile forcing leads to significant deviations. For a nominal mean Reynolds number of 1000, analysis of the wake shows that forcing at a frequency much smaller than that associated with hairpin shedding can lead to frequency modulated shedding. Consequently, time scaling is employed to reduce system complexity associated with hairpin shedding and to relate wake dynamics to the analogous unforced system.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Surfactants are amphiphilic molecules which self-assemble at the interface in oil-water-surfactant mixtures such that the hydrophobic part, called tail, stays in oil and the remaining part, called head, resides in hydrophilic en-vironment. Depending upon concentration of individual components, these mixtures form several microphases, such as bilayers, micelles, columnar and lamellar phases. A lamellar phase, at equilibrium, is made up of alternat-ing layers of water and oil separated by surfactants, or of alternate layers of water and surfactant bilayers such that the hydrophilic heads are in contact with water. This equilibrium state is rarely achieved in macroscopic samples due to thermodynamic and kinetic constraints; instead, a lamellar fluid is usually disordered with a large number of defects. These defects have significant effect on the flow behaviour of the lamellar mesophase systems. They are known to alter the flow field, resulting stresses and in turn could get distorted or annihilated by the flow. In present work, we analyse this two way coupling between lamellar structure and flow field.
The structural and rheological evolution of an initially disordered lamellar phase system under a shear flow is examined using a mesoscale model based on a free energy functional for the concentration field, which is the scaled difference in the concentration between the hydrophilic and hydrophobic components. Two distinct modes of structural evolution are observed depending only on Peclet number, which ratio of inertial forces to mass diffusivity, in-dependent of system size. At low Peclet number, local domains are formed which are then rotated and stretched by shear. A balance between defect creation and annihilation is reached due to which the system never reaches the equilibrium layer configuration. In the opposite limit, partially formed layers break and reform so as to form a nearly aligned lamellar phase con-figuration with residual defects. Viscosity of lamellar phase system increases with layer moduli, differences in viscosity of individual components, fluidity of the lamellae due to shear banding and defect pinning. These factors however, do not have any effect on alignment mechanism.
