Student Number : 9804064R - MSc research report - School of Mechanical, Industrial and Aeronautical Engineering - Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment / A qualitative and quantitative study of the hydraulic analogy; that is the analogy between flow with a free surface and two dimensional compressible gas flow, is described. The experimentation was done using a water table, and results are compared with Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) results for actual free surface flow models, and a fictitious gas model. Different test cases are considered (i) a wedge moving at steady supersonic/supercritical speeds of Froude or Mach number equal to 2.38, 3.12 and 4.31 (ii)unsteady motion of a wedge accelerating to supersonic speeds and then decelerating. Quantitative results for the experimental case are achieved by using a colour encoding slope detection technique. Qualitatively, with respect to wave angles, the fictitious gas case shows the best agreement to the experimental case, but at higher Froude/Mach numbers the free surface models also show good agreement. Quantitatively, with respect to wave location and depth profile, the free surface models show better agreement to the experimental case. For the unsteady case the resulting flow patterns are quite similar for the two cases considered, namely the experimental and free surface CFD cases.

Des recherches ont mis en évidence l’influence des modèles d’attachement sur les relations amicales, amoureuses et sociales. Cela interroge sur la portée de cette influence. La concordance observée entre les représentations d’attachement liées aux différentes relations suggère une généralisation des modalités d’attachement. Dans l’étude 1, nous explorons l’existence d’une influence des représentations d’attachement sur les relations dans l’environnement virtuel. L’étude 2 explore la généralisation des modalités d’attachement à des situations de la vie quotidienne ainsi que le rôle de l’insécurité dans la généralisation excessive et le caractère envahissant des schémas d’attachement. L’étude 1 (256 adultes tout-venant) comporte des auto-questionnaires, remplis en ligne, sur les relations d’attachement, l’usage d’Internet et le dévoilement de soi. Certains (n=56) ont aussi passé un entretien d’attachement. L’étude 2 (89 adultes tout-venant, dont 56 de l’étude 1) comporte un entretien d’attachement et un entretien de vie quotidienne. Les résultats de ces études indiquent :1) un lien entre l’attachement et l’usage social d’Internet, médiatisé par une recherche de communication sécurisée et un dévoilement de soi ; 2) une généralisation partielle de l’attachement au père aux situations du quotidien ; 3) un lien entre l’attachement à la mère et le degré de flexibilité face aux situations du quotidien. Tandis que les représentations d'attachement implicites sont liées au comportement au quotidien, le style d'attachement auto rapporté est lui davantage lié aux comportements sur Internet. Les limites, perspectives futures et implications cliniques sont discutées. / Research suggests that attachment models influence friendships, romantic relationships and other relationships. The question remains as to the extent of their influence. Concordance between attachment representations of different relationships suggest a generalization of attachment patterns. In Study 1, we examine the possible influence of attachment representations on relationships established on the Internet. Study 2 explores generalization of attachment patterns in situations of everyday life, and the role of insecurity in excessive generalization and pervasiveness of attachment schemas. In study 1, 256 adults completed self-reports on line on attachment, the use of the Internet, and self-disclosure. An attachment interview was also administered to a subsample of 56 participants. The same interview was used in study 2, along with an interview on everyday behavior (N=89). Results show 1) associations between attachment and the social use of the Internet, 2) partial generalization of attachment to father and everyday behavior, and 3) a link between attachment to mother and flexibility in everyday behavior. Whereas implicit representations of attachment are associated with everyday behavior, explicit declarative attachment style is linked to reported behavior on the Internet. The limits, future perspectives, and clinical implications are discussed.
