Couplage fluide-structure dans l’embolie gazeuse du peuplier / Fluid-structure coupling in the gaz embolism of Populus

Capron, Marie 03 April 2014 (has links)
Les arbres irriguent leurs organes par un système microfluidique complexe qui permet le transfert d’eau sous des pressions hydrostatiques négatives allant de -0.1 à -13 MPa. Dans ces conditions de métastabilité, les arbres vivent avec le risque d’une vaporisation soudaine de leur sève, qui conduit à l’embolie. Après cavitation, la poche de gaz créée croît ensuite par différence de pression et diffuse dans les vaisseaux du xylème à travers des membranes poreuses appelées “ponctuations”. Ces membranes permettent d’assurer le transfert hydrique vasculaire et de lutter contre la propagation de l’embolie gazeuse pouvant conduire à un état létal de la plante. Pour comprendre les mécanismes d’embolie d’air dans le xylème, nous avons pu étudier la structure des ponctuations du peuplier et caractériser par microscopie à force atomique (AFM) leurs propriétés mécaniques. Nous avons fait des expériences de nano-indentation et de flexion sur des échantillons secs et saturés en eau. Les premières expériences semblent montrer que les propriétés mécaniques sont peu affectées par la sorption d’eau (le module d’Young de la membrane primaire est E 0:40 GPa). Nous avons pu établir que le module des ponctuations était inférieur à celui de la paroi vaisseaux du xylème (E 8 GPa). Des expériences de micromoulages ont montré que les membranes des ponctuations se déforment sous l’effet d’une différence de pression. En tenant compte de la présence des parois secondaires, l’analyse par éléments finis de la déformation des ponctuations permet de calculer le module d’Young des membranes qui est identique à celui déterminé en AFM. Nous avons pu mettre en évidence que les mâchoires constituées par les parois secondaires limitent la déformation de la membrane au niveau de l’encastrement près du bord. Des expériences d’injection d’air ont permis de déterminer la pression critique (Pc = 1:8 MPa) et les diamètres critiques des pores présents sur les valves capillaires (dpore 160 nm). La taille des pores estimée est cohérente avec les données de la littérature. Nous avons proposé une première modélisation de la propagation d’une embolie sur la base de l’écoulement de Darcy dans la membrane. L’ensemble des résultats semble montrer que la diffusion de gaz est rendu possible par l’effet conjoint de la déformation de la membrane qui génère l’ouverture des pores diminuant ainsi la pression critique de passage du gaz et de la rupture des ponts capillaires présents dans les pores de la membrane. / The xylem vessels of trees constitute a model natural microfluidic system. In this work, we have studied the mechanism of air flow in the Populus xylem. The vessel microstructure was characterized by optical microscopy, transmission electronic microscopy (TEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) at different length scales. The xylem vessels have length ≈ 15 cm and diameter ≈ 20 μm. Flow from one vessel to the next occurs through ∼ 10 2 pits, which are grouped together at the ends of the vessels. The pits contain a thin, porous pit membrane with a thickness of 310 nm. We have measured the Young’s moduli of the vessel wall and of the pits (both water-saturated and after drying) by specific nanoindentation and nanoflexion experiments with AFM. We found that both the dried and water-saturated pit membranes have Young’s modulus around 0.4 MPa, in agreement with values obtained by micromolding of pits deformed by an applied pressure difference. Air injection experiments reveal that air flows through the xylem vessels when the differential pressure across a sample is larger than a critical value ∆P c ≈ 1.8 MPa. In order to model the air flow rate for ∆P ≥ ∆P c , we assumed the pit membrane to be a porous medium that is strained by the applied pressure difference. Water menisci in the pit pores play the role of capillary valves, which open at ∆P = ∆P c . From the point of view of the plant physiology, this work presents a basic understanding of the physics of bordered pits.

Medição do número de swirl utilizando dutos de admissão do cabeçote de um motor diesel produzidos via prototipagem rápida. / Swirl number measurement using cylinder head intake ports from a diesel engine manufactured via rapid prototype techniques.

Gustavo Fernandes Martioli 06 April 2017 (has links)
O presente trabalho propõe a execução de ensaios de medição do número de swirl em bancada de fluxo em regime permanente, com a utilização de um dispositivo modular e dutos de admissão do cabeçote de um motor diesel produzidos via prototipagem rápida (PR). A medição do número de swirl com dutos produzidos via PR, traz como principais vantagens: reprodutibilidade dos ensaios, facilidade de simular e mensurar o número de swirl dos potenciais desvios no processo de fundição ou usinagem, além da redução no tempo para o desenvolvimento de novas geometrias dos dutos de admissão. O trabalho é experimental e uma unidade do cabeçote estudado foi encaminhado para o laboratório da EPUSP e o número de swirl medido para posterior comparação dos dados. Após a fase inicial de aquisição de dados e ajustes no projeto do dispositivo, essa unidade do cabeçote foi seccionada e digitalizada para que a geometria interna fosse reproduzida via prototipagem rápida. Os dutos de admissão foram montados no dispositivo modular para a realização dos testes em bancada. Todos os testes foram realizados no mesmo equipamento e com o mesmo sistema de controle, com o intuito de reduzir o número de variáveis externas na aquisição de dados. Quando realizou-se a comparação das médias dos resultados do número de swirl do cabeçote e do dispositivo modular com o uso de prototipagem rápida não foram encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significantes. O método proposto representou o escoamento de ar da admissão do modelo de cabeçote analisado. / The present work proposes to execute steady state bench test, swirl number measurements, using a modular device and cylinder head intake ports from a diesel engine manufactured via rapid prototype (RP) techniques. Swirl number measurements with intake ports produced by RP, bring as main advantages: Tests reproducibility, easy to measure the swirl number variances in consequence of potential casting or machining process deviations besides of time reduction to the development of new intake ports geometry. The research is experimental and one sample of the investigated cylinder head was sent to the laboratory and the swirl number was measured for later results comparison. After the early development phase of data acquisition and design improvements, this cylinder head sample was then sectioned and digitalized as to know to have the same internal geometry in the intake ports produced via rapid prototype. The intake ports were assembled in the modular device to perform bench tests. All tests were performed in the same rig and with the same control system with aiming to reduce the external variables during data acquisition. When the mean results analysis was performed in order to compare the results between cylinder head and modular device using rapid prototype, no statistically significant changes were found. The proposed method represented the investigated cylinder head´s intake air flow.
