Large-eddy simulation (LES) of atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) flow is performed over a homogeneous surface with different heat flux forcings. The goal is to test the performance of dynamic subgrid-scale models in a numerical framework and to compare the ...
The object of this work has been to develop a mechanical and numerical model of the eye submitted to vibrations, and in particular, to calculate the influence of intraocular pressure (IOP) on the eye resonance frequencies. Our mechanical model of the eye r ...
We analyze the influence of near-field coupling on the formation of collective plasmon modes in a multilayer metallic nanowire array. It is shown that the spectral interference between super- and subradiant normal modes results in characteristic line shape ...
A numerical model is presented for the simulation of complex fluid flows with free surfaces in three space dimensions. The model described in Maronnier et al. (J. Comput. Phys. 1999; 155(2):439) is extended to three dimensional situations. The mathematical ...
We address two fundamental issues associated with the use of cross-nested logit models. On the one hand, we justify the adequate normalization of the model proposed by Wen and Koppelman (2001). On the other hand, we provide an analysis of the correlation s ...
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 the past few years, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has become an essential tool in the design and optimization of racing sailboats and in particular America's Cup yachts. The prevalent role of CFD in the design process is demonstrated by the number ...
We discuss the transport properties of a simple model of vibratory feeder commonly used in automated assembly chains. The dynamics is described by a set of coupled, non-linear and strongly dissipative mappings. Periodic verus chaotic solutions are clearly ...
The aim of this thesis is the study of the simulation of electrically large structures and the application of the results to automotive Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC). The theoretical and experimental work carried out has led to the development of com ...
