Alimentation en eau potableL’alimentation en eau potable (sigle : AEP) est l’ensemble des équipements, des services et des actions qui permettent, en partant d’une eau brute, de produire une eau conforme aux normes de potabilité en vigueur, distribuée ensuite aux consommateurs. On considère quatre étapes distinctes dans cette alimentation : prélèvements - captages (eau de surface ou eau souterraine) ; traitement pour potabiliser l'eau ; adduction (transport et stockage) ; distribution au consommateur.
Reservoir simulationReservoir simulation is an area of reservoir engineering in which computer models are used to predict the flow of fluids (typically, oil, water, and gas) through porous media. The creation of models of oil fields and the implementation of calculations of field development on their basis is one of the main areas of activity of engineers and oil researchers. On the basis of geological and physical information about the properties of an oil, gas or gas condensate field, consideration of the capabilities of the systems and technologies for its development create quantitative ideas about the development of the field as a whole.
Channel (geography)In physical geography, a channel is a type of landform consisting of the outline of a path of relatively shallow and narrow body of water or of other fluids (e.g., lava), most commonly the confine of a river, river delta or strait. The word is generally used to refer to a natural formation of a narrow and is cognate to canal, which is more commonly used to denote an artificial formation. Channels are important for the functionality of ports and other bodies of water used for navigability for shipping.
Équations de Navier-Stokesthumb|Léonard de Vinci : écoulement dans une fontaine En mécanique des fluides, les équations de Navier-Stokes sont des équations aux dérivées partielles non linéaires qui décrivent le mouvement des fluides newtoniens (donc des gaz et de la majeure partie des liquides). La résolution de ces équations modélisant un fluide comme un milieu continu à une seule phase est difficile, et l'existence mathématique de solutions des équations de Navier-Stokes n'est pas démontrée.
Empathic designEmpathic design is a user-centered design approach that pays attention to the user's feelings toward a product. The empathic design process is sometimes mistakenly referred to as empathetic design. The foundation of empathic design is observation and the goal to identify latent customer needs in order to create products that the customers don't even know they desire, or, in some cases, solutions that customers have difficulty envisioning due to lack of familiarity with the possibilities offered by new technologies or because they are locked in a specific mindset.
Software-defined storageLe software-defined storage (SDS), stockage défini par logiciel ou stockage à définition logicielle, est un terme marketing utilisé en informatique pour désigner le stockage de données basé sur des solutions logicielles. Le stockage défini par logiciel apporte une abstraction entre le logiciel et le matériel au sein d'une solution de stockage. Il s'oppose aux formes de stockage telles que les NAS ou les SAN dont les systèmes intègrent un logiciel de gestion et du matériel dépendant et indissociable.
Petroleum reservoirA petroleum reservoir or oil and gas reservoir is a subsurface accumulation of hydrocarbons contained in porous or fractured rock formations. Such reservoirs form when kerogen (ancient plant matter) is created in surrounding rock by the presence of high heat and pressure in the Earth's crust. Petroleum reservoirs are broadly classified as conventional and unconventional reservoirs.
Groundwater flow equationUsed in hydrogeology, the groundwater flow equation is the mathematical relationship which is used to describe the flow of groundwater through an aquifer. The transient flow of groundwater is described by a form of the diffusion equation, similar to that used in heat transfer to describe the flow of heat in a solid (heat conduction). The steady-state flow of groundwater is described by a form of the Laplace equation, which is a form of potential flow and has analogs in numerous fields.
High dynamic rangeHigh dynamic range (HDR) is a dynamic range higher than usual, synonyms are wide dynamic range, extended dynamic range, expanded dynamic range. The term is often used in discussing the dynamic range of various signals such as s, videos, audio or radio. It may apply to the means of recording, processing, and reproducing such signals including analog and digitized signals. The term is also the name of some of the technologies or techniques allowing to achieve high dynamic range images, videos, or audio.
Accumulateur nickel-hydrure métalliqueUn accumulateur nickel-hydrure métallique ou NiMH (de l'anglais nickel-metal hydride) est un accumulateur électrique rechargeable utilisant de l'hydrure métallique (composé permettant de stocker de l'hydrogène) et de l'oxyhydroxyde de nickel comme l'électrode. La technologie NiMH est extrêmement répandue dans les accumulateurs portables d'usage courant : les modèles AA/HR6 dont la capacité peut atteindre pour les plus performants ; les modèles AAA/HR3 dont la capacité maximale est de .
