In this work, two problems linked to glacier modeling are investigated. We propose an optimisation method for studying the flow of the ice and we present a numerical study about glacier thermal phenomena. In the first chapter of this thesis, we expose the ...
In this contribution, we describe a novel approach to the problem of setting micrometric droplets in motion. First, this paper reviews the state-of-the-art methods to enable millimetric droplet motion, and investigates the scalability of the most promising ...
The deposition behavior of fine sediment is an important phenomenon, which remains unclear to engineers concerned about reservoir sedimentation. In the present case bed level changes, suspended sediment concentrations, and flow velocities were measured in ...

Different physical problems have been analysed in the preceding {chapters}: they relate to water transfer, to heat transfer, to pollutant transfer and to mechanical equilibrium. All these problems are governed by differential equations and boundary conditi ...
The worst enemy of sustainable use of reservoirs is sedimentation. Often the main silting process is the result of settling down of suspended sediments. In shallow reservoirs the flow pattern and the sediment deposition processes are strongly influenced by ...
The mechanical design of hydraulic turbines is conditioned by the dynamic response of the runner that is usually estimated by a computational model. Nevertheless, the runner has complex boundary conditions that are difficult to include in the computational ...

Actually little is known on the physical processes involved in avalanches or debris flows. We tackle this difficult issue by carrying out idealized experiments, where we focus on the motion of highly time-dependent flows of non-Newtonian fluids. The object ...
The Robin-Robin method is an iterative substructuring method to solve boundary-value problems (b.v.p.) on domains partitioned into nonoverlapping subdomains. It involves mixed-type boundary conditions on the interface, which depend on suitable weighting co ...
In order to better understand the sources of numerical instabilities occurring in the simulation of time-dependent flows of viscoelastic fluids at high Weissenberg numbers, we have used various types of linear stability analyses. In complement to the limit ...
[1] A numerical model was developed for the prediction of the density stratification of lakes and reservoirs. It combines a buoyancy-extended k-epsilon model with a seiche excitation and damping model to predict the diffusivity below the surface mixed laye ...
