A numerical method for the simulation of the motion of a glacier in two and three dimensions is presented. Glacier ice is treated as an incompressible viscous fluid. The model equations are based on mass, momentum, energy conservation and a specific rheolo ...
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 ...
Mathematical and numerical aspects of viscoelastic flows are investigated here. Two simplified mathematical models are considered. They are motivated by a splitting algorithm for solving viscoelastic flows with free surfaces. The first model is a simplifie ...
Conventional laboratory odometer tests were performed to determine the consolidation behaviour of Champlain Sea clays. Odometer permeability tests were also completed for each sample between two of the consolidation steps. The tests lasted 20 to 24 days. T ...
The comparison of numerical results for implicit-explicit and fully explicit Runge-Kutta time integration methods for a nozzle flow problem shows that filtering can significantly degrade the accuracy of the numerical solution for long-time integration prob ...
The objective of this Master will be to assess if small amounts of augmentation material placed adjacent to the cortical layer can significantly affect pullout strength. This augmentation has been predicted by a numerical study. The obtained experimental d ...
In this contribution, we describe a novel approach to the problem of setting micrometric droplets in motion. After a short review of the state-of-the-art methods to enable droplet motion, we investigate the scalability of the most promising techniques by u ...
We study the jamming of bead assemblies placed in a cylindrical container whose bottom is pierced with a circular hole. Their jamming behavior is quantified here by the mean critical diameter, that is the diameter of the hole for which the jamming probabil ...
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 ...
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 ...
