Utilisation des méthodes Galerkin discontinues pour la résolution de l'hydrodynamique Lagrangienne bi-dimentsionnelle / A high-order Discontinuous Galerkin discretization for solving two-dimensional Lagrangian hydrodynamics

Vilar, François 16 November 2012 (has links)
Le travail présenté ici avait pour but le développement d'un schéma de type Galerkin discontinu (GD) d'ordre élevé pour la résolution des équations de la dynamique des gaz écrites dans un formalisme Lagrangien total, sur des maillages bi-dimensionnels totalement déstructurés. À cette fin, une méthode progressive a été utilisée afin d'étudier étape par étape les difficultés numériques inhérentes à la discrétisation Galerkin discontinue ainsi qu'aux équations de la dynamique des gaz Lagrangienne. Par conséquent, nous avons développé dans un premier temps des schémas de type Galerkin discontinu jusqu'à l'ordre trois pour la résolution des lois de conservation scalaires mono-dimensionnelles et bi-dimensionnelles sur des maillages déstructurés. La particularité principale de la discrétisation GD présentée est l'utilisation des bases polynomiales de Taylor. Ces dernières permettent, dans le cadre de maillages bi-dimensionnels déstructurés, une prise en compte globale et unifiée des différentes géométries. Une procédure de limitation hiérarchique, basée aux noeuds et préservant les extrema réguliers a été mise en place, ainsi qu'une forme générale des flux numériques assurant une stabilité globale L_2 de la solution. Ensuite, nous avons tâché d'appliquer la discrétisation Galerkin discontinue développée aux systèmes mono-dimensionnels de lois de conservation comme celui de l'acoustique, de Saint-Venant et de la dynamique des gaz Lagrangienne. Nous avons noté au cours de cette étude que l'application directe de la limitation mise en place dans le cadre des lois de conservation scalaires, aux variables physiques des systèmes mono-dimensionnels étudiés provoquait l'apparition d'oscillations parasites. En conséquence, une procédure de limitation basée sur les variables caractéristiques a été développée. Dans le cas de la dynamique des gaz, les flux numériques ont été construits afin que le système satisfasse une inégalité entropique globale. Fort de l'expérience acquise, nous avons appliqué la discrétisation GD mise en place aux équations bi-dimensionnelles de la dynamique des gaz, écrites dans un formalisme Lagrangien total. Dans ce cadre, le domaine de référence est fixe. Cependant, il est nécessaire de suivre l'évolution temporelle de la matrice jacobienne associée à la transformation Lagrange-Euler de l'écoulement, à savoir le tenseur gradient de déformation. Dans le travail présent, la transformation résultant de l'écoulement est discrétisée de manière continue à l'aide d'une base Éléments Finis. Cela permet une approximation du tenseur gradient de déformation vérifiant l'identité essentielle de Piola. La discrétisation des lois de conservation physiques sur le volume spécifique, le moment et l'énergie totale repose sur une méthode Galerkin discontinu. Le schéma est construit de sorte à satisfaire de manière exacte la loi de conservation géométrique (GCL). Dans le cas du schéma d'ordre trois, le champ de vitesse étant quadratique, la géométrie doit pouvoir se courber. Pour ce faire, des courbes de Bézier sont utilisées pour la paramétrisation des bords des cellules du maillage. Nous illustrons la robustesse et la précision des schémas mis en place à l'aide d'un grand nombre de cas tests pertinents, ainsi que par une étude de taux de convergence. / The intent of the present work was the development of a high-order discontinuous Galerkin scheme for solving the gas dynamics equations written under total Lagrangian form on two-dimensional unstructured grids. To achieve this goal, a progressive approach has been used to study the inherent numerical difficulties step by step. Thus, discontinuous Galerkin schemes up to the third order of accuracy have firstly been implemented for the one-dimensional and two-dimensional scalar conservation laws on unstructured grids. The main feature of the presented DG scheme lies on the use of a polynomial Taylor basis. This particular choice allows in the two-dimensional case to take into general unstructured grids account in a unified framework. In this frame, a vertex-based hierarchical limitation which preserves smooth extrema has been implemented. A generic form of numerical fluxes ensuring the global stability of our semi-discrete discretization in the $L_2$ norm has also been designed. Then, this DG discretization has been applied to the one-dimensional system ofconservation laws such as the acoustic system, the shallow-water one and the gas dynamics equations system written in the Lagrangian form. Noticing that the application of the limiting procedure, developed for scalar equations, to the physical variables leads to spurious oscillations, we have described a limiting procedure based on the characteristic variables. In the case of the one-dimensional gas dynamics case, numerical fluxes have been designed so that our semi-discrete DG scheme satisfies a global entropy inequality. Finally, we have applied all the knowledge gathered to the case of the two-dimensional gas dynamics equation written under total Lagrangian form. In this framework, the computational grid is fixed, however one has to follow the time evolution of the Jacobian matrix associated to the Lagrange-Euler flow map, namely the gradient deformation tensor. In the present work, the flow map is discretized by means of continuous mapping, using a finite element basis. This provides an approximation of the deformation gradient tensor which satisfies the important Piola identity. The discretization of the physical conservation laws for specific volume, momentum and total energy relies on a discontinuous Galerkin method. The scheme is built to satisfying exactly the Geometric Conservation Law (GCL). In the case of the third-order scheme, the velocity field being quadratic we allow the geometry to curve. To do so, a Bezier representation is employed to define the mesh edges. We illustrate the robustness and the accuracy of the implemented schemes using several relevant test cases and performing rate convergences analysis.

Déformations libres de contours pour l’optimisation de formes et application en électromagnétisme / Freeform method for shape optimization problems and application to electromagnetism

Bonnelie, Pierre 13 February 2017 (has links)
Dans cette thèse nous développons une technique de déformation pour l'optimisation de formes. Les formes sont représentées par leur frontière, paramétrée par des courbes de Bézier par morceaux. En tant que courbes polynomiales, elles sont définies par leurs coefficients que l'on appelle plutôt points de contrôle. Bouger les points de contrôle revient à modifier la courbe et donc déplacer la frontière des formes. Dans un contexte d'optimisation de formes, ce sont alors les points de contrôle qui sont les variables du problème et l'on a transformé ce dernier en un problème d'optimisation paramétrique. Notre méthode de déformation consiste en un premier temps à paramétrer les frontières par des courbes de Bézier comme indiqué plus haut et dans un second temps à calculer une déformation des points de contrôle à partir d'une direction de descente de la fonction objectif. Notre méthode est de nature géométrique mais l'on propose un moyen de changer la topologie des formes en mesurant la distance entre les points de contrôle : on peut scinder une forme en deux ou inversement en réunir deux en une. Nous avons testé la méthode sur trois problèmes qui sont la conception d'un filtre micro-ondes, la détection d'inclusions et les trajectoires optimales. / We develop a deformation technique for shape optimization problems. The shapes are described only by their boundary, parameterized by piecewise Bézier curves. They are polynomial curves hence entirely defined by their coefficients which are called control points. By moving these control points the curves change and so is the boundary of the shape. Used in a shape optimization problem, the control points become the optimization variables meaning that the problem is a parametric optimization problem. Our method consists in first parameterizing the boundary of a shape by Bézier curves as stated above and then compute a deformation of the control points from a descent direction for the objective function. The method is almost purely geometric but we add a way to include topological changes by diving a shape into two or conversly merging two shapes into one. We tested our method on three particular shape optimization problems which are microwave filter design, inclusions detection and optimal trajectories.

[pt] OTIMIZAÇÃO DIMENSIONAL E DE FORMA DE TRELIÇAS ESPACIAIS MODELADAS COM CURVAS DE BÉZIER / [en] SIZE AND SHAPE OPTIMIZATION OF SPACE TRUSSES MODELED BY BÉZIER CURVES

WALDY JAIR TORRES ZUNIGA 18 December 2019 (has links)
[pt] Estruturas treliçadas espaciais são arranjos geométricos de barras amplamente utilizados em coberturas de edificações. Diversos fatores favorecem o seu uso, tais como a capacidade de vencer grandes vãos e a facilidade em assumir diversas formas. A busca pela geometria ótima é um objetivo importante no projeto de estruturas, onde o interesse principal é minimizar o custo da estrutura. O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar um sistema computacional capaz de minimizar o peso de estruturas treliçadas cuja geometria é definida por curvas de Bézier. Portanto, os pontos de controle das curvas de Bézier são utilizados como variáveis de projeto. As áreas das seções transversais das barras e a altura da treliça também são consideradas como variáveis de projeto e restrições sobre a tensão de escoamento e a tensão crítica de Euler são impostas no problema de otimização. A estrutura é analisada por meio do método dos elementos finitos considerando a hipótese do comportamento linear físico e geométrico. Os algoritmos de otimização usados neste trabalho utilizam o gradiente da função objetivo e das restrições em relação às variáveis de projeto. O sistema computacional desenvolvido neste trabalho foi escrito em linguagem MATLAB e conta com uma integração com o SAP2000 por meio da OAPI (Open Application Programming Interface). Os resultados numéricos obtidos demonstram a eficiência e a aplicabilidade deste sistema. / [en] Spatial truss structures are geometrical arrangements of bars widely used in building roofs. Several factors favor their use, such as the ability to overcome large spans and the capability of assuming a variety of configurations. The search for optimal geometry is an important goal in the design of structures, where the main interest is to minimize the cost of the structure. The objective of this work is to present a computational system capable of minimizing the weight of truss structures whose geometry is defined by Bézier curves. Therefore, the control points of the Bézier curves are used as design variables. The cross-sectional areas of the bars and the truss height are also considered as design variables and constraints on the yield stress and Euler critical stress are imposed on the optimization problem. The structure is analyzed using truss elements considering the physical and geometric linear behavior. The optimization algorithms used in this work require the gradient of the objective function and constraints with respect to the design variables. The computational system developed in this work was written in MATLAB and has an integration with SAP2000 through the OAPI (Open Application Programming Interface). The obtained numerical results demonstrate the efficiency and applicability of the developed system.
