Application of Fourier Finite Differences and lowrank approximation method for seismic modeling and subsalt imagingSong, Xiaolei 22 February 2013 (has links)
Nowadays, subsalt oil and gas exploration is drawing more and more attention from the hydrocarbon industry. Hydrocarbon exploitation requires detailed geological information beneath the surface. Seismic imaging is a powerful tool employed by the hydrocarbon industry to provide subsurface characterization and monitoring information. Traditional wave-equation migration algorithms are based on the one- way-in-depth propagation using the scalar wave equation. These algorithms focus on downward continuing the upcoming waves. However, it is still really difficult for conventional seismic imaging methods, which have dip limitations, to get a correct image for the edge and shape of the salt body and the corresponding subsalt structure. The dip limitation problem in seismic imaging can be solved completely by switching to Reverse-Time Migration (RTM). Unlike old methods, which deal with the one-way wave equation, RTM propagator is two-way and, as a result, it no longer imposes dip limitations on the image. It can also handle complex waveforms, including prismatic waves. Therefore it is a powerful tool for subsalt imaging. RTM involves wave extrapolation forward and backward in time. In order to accurately and efficiently extrapolate the wavefield in heterogeneous media, I develop three novel methods for seismic wave modeling in both isotropic and tilted transversely isotropic (TTI) media. These methods overcome the space-wavenumber mixed-domain problem when solving the acoustic two-way wave equation. The first method involves cascading a Fourier Transform operator and a finite difference (FD) operator to form a chain operator: Fourier Finite Differences (FFD). The second method is lowrank finite differences (LFD), whose FD schemes are derived from the lowrank approximation of the mixed-domain operator and are represented using adapted coefficients. The third method is lowrank Fourier finite differences (LFFD), which use LFD to improve the accuracy of TTI FFD mothod. The first method, FFD, may have an advantage in efficiency, because it uses only one pair of multidimensional forward and inverse FFTs (fast Fourier transforms) per time step. The second method, LFD, as an accurate FD method, is free of FFTs and in return more suitable for massively parallel computing. It can also be applied to the FFD method to reduce the dispersion in TTI case, which results in the third method, LFFD. LFD and LFFD are based on lowrank approx- imation which is a general method to handle mixed-domain operators and can be easily applied to more complicated mixed-domain operators. I show pseudo-acoustic modeling in orthorhombic media by lowrank approximation as an example. / text

Adaptive parameterization for Aerodynamic Shape Optimization in Aeronautical Applications / Adaptive parameterization for Aerodynamic Shape Optimization in Aeronautical ApplicationsHradil, Jiří January 2015 (has links)
Cílem mé disertační práce je analyzovat a vyvinout parametrizační metodu pro 2D a 3D tvarové optimalizace v kontextu průmyslového aerodynamického návrhu letounu založeném na CFD simulacích. Aerodynamická tvarová optimalizace je efektivní nástroj, který si klade za cíl snížení nákladů na návrh letounů. Nástroj založený na automatickém hledání optimálního tvaru. Klíčovou částí úspěšného optimalizačního procesu je použití vhodné parametrizační metody, metody schopné garantovat možnost dosažení optimálního tvaru. Parametrizační metody obecně používané v oblasti aerodynamické tvarové optimalizace momentálně nejsou připravený na komplikované průmyslové aplikace vyskytující se u moderních dopravních letounů, které mají šípová zalomená křídla s winglety a motorovými gondolami, přechodové prvky spojující např. trup s křídlem atd.. Existuje tedy potřeba nalezení obecné parametrizační metody, která bude aplikovatelná na širokou škálu různých geometrických tvarů. Free-Form Deformation (FFD[1]) parametrizace může, vzhledem ke svým schopnostem při zacházení s geometrií, být odpovědí na tuto potřebu. Adaptivní parametrizace by se měla být schopna automaticky přizpůsobit danému tvaru tak, aby byly její kontrolní body vhodně rozmístěny. Což umožní dostatečnou kontrolu deformací objektu, která zaručí možnost vytvoření optimálního tvaru objektu a splnění geometrických omezení. Primární aplikací takové parametrizační metody je deformace tvaru objektu. Dalším navrhovaným cílem je modifikace FFD parametrizační metody pro současné deformace tvaru objektu a CFD výpočetní sítě, umožnující velké deformace objektu při zachování kvality výpočetní sítě.

Modélisation et étude expérimentale du comportement thermo hydraulique des fluides frigoporteurs diphasiques / Modelling and experimental study of the thermo hydraulic behavior of two-phase secondary refrigerantsEl Boujaddaini, Mohamed Najib 18 February 2011 (has links)
L’objectif de ce travail consiste en l'étude expérimentale et la modélisation du comportement thermo-hydraulique d'un fluide frigoporteur diphasique (FFD) particulier : le coulis de paraffine, en écoulement dans un canal rectangulaire simulant un échangeur à plaques. Les coulis de paraffine sont constitués de particules millimétriques de paraffine, stabilisées dans une matrice poreuse el mises en suspension dans de l'eau. Les particules de paraffines sont composées de 75% en masse de Norpar®15 et de 25% de polymère tri-block qui sert à gélifier la paraffine. Les résultats expérimentaux issus de bilans sur les veines d'essai de l'installation développée el mise en place au Centre de Thermique de Lyon (CETHIL), mettent en évidence une intensification importante du coefficient d'échange thermique, due a la présence des particules dans le fluide porteur. Pour un écoulement laminaire du coulis de paraffine dans le canal de refroidissement, une multiplication moyenne par 1 ,25 à 1 ,5 du coefficient d'échange global par rapport au fluide monophasique a été enregistrée pour des fractions massiques en particules de 6 à 12 %. Par régression linéaire des résultats expérimentaux, des corrélations pour le calcul des nombres de Nusselt local et moyen sont proposées. Une approche théorique basée sur le modèle de mélanges (Mixture Mode!) a été élaborée pour étudier le comportement hydraulique et thermique du fluide frigoporteur diphasique FFD pendant son refroidissement en écoulement laminaire dans un canal rectangulaire. L'évolution des valeurs expérimentales et théoriques pour la température moyenne du fluide et le coemcien1 d'échange thermique paroi - fluide montrent qu'ils sont en bon accord. Le modèle peut être considéré comme satisfaisant car les écarts entre résultats théoriques et expérimentaux n'excèdent jamais 14 %. / This work concerns the experimental investigation and modelling of the thermo hydraulic behaviour of a new Iwo-phase secondary refrigerant, the paraffin slurry, flowing through a rectangular channel of a heat plate exchanger type. The paraffin slurries are made of millimetric bullets of paraffin, stabilized in an organic porous polymeric matrix, in suspension in water serving as a carrying fluid. The paraffin particles used contain 75% of paraffin called NORPAR®15 and 25% of a tri-block polymer of styrene with High Molecular Weight (HMW). The experimental results generated by the heat balances on the test sections of the experimental setup built in the Thermal Center of Lyon (CETHIL), highlight an important increase of the heat transfer coefficient, due to the particles presence in the carrying fluid. For a laminar flow of the paraffin slurry in the cold channel, an average multiplication by 1 .25 to 1.5 of the global heat transfer coefficient compared to the single-phase fluid was recorded for particles mass fractions of 6 to 12%. By regression of the experimental results, correlations for the local and average Nusselt number calculation for the laminar flows are proposed. The particularity of the presented correlations is their validity in the case of a pure fluid as we\l as for a two-phase fluid containing so\id particles. A model for the hydraulic and thermal behaviours studies of a Iwo-phase secondary refrigerant fluid during its cooling in laminar flow through a rectangular channel was developed it is based on the mixture model and to king the slip velocity into account. The evolution of the experimental and theoretical values for the fluid average temperature, the heat flow which crosses the walls and the heat transfer coefficient between the wall and fluid shows good agreement and the model is satisfactory since the variations never exceed 14%.

Metody FFD / FFD methodsNovák, Jiří January 2017 (has links)
The diploma thesis deals with the topic of free-form deformations. The main goal of this work were elaboration of theoretical knowledge about this issue and the programming of selected methods od free-form deformations. The first part describes the required spline theory, matrix calculus and free-form deformations. The resulting version shows three programs. The first program compares the selected free-form deformation methods to the example of the 4x4 control point grid. The second program serves as a generalization for the general case of grid of control points. The last program is based on direct manipulation of arbitrary surface point and following recomputation of the control points to obtain demanded shape.

Development of a GC Method for the Quantification of Short Chain Carboxylic Acids in Aqueous SolutionÅkervall, Anton January 2020 (has links)
Petroleum powered vehicles emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) through combustion that contributes to the pollution of the environment. A technique in the 1970s was developed to decrease these emissions, especially for nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulphuric oxides (SOx) which is called exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). The technique works by recirculating a portion of the combusted gas back into the engine, this limits the NOx and SOx emissions because of lower temperatures and less available oxygen. The problems that follow these effects is the formation and condensation of acids that corrode the material of the EGR system, which are created by many different reactions. It is of importance to understand how the compounds in the EGR system behaves through analysis of authentic and simulated condensates, which is why a quantitative method for these compounds are of interest. The aim of the project was to develop a simple quantitative analysis method for formic acid, acetic acid, and lactic acid in aqueous solution, which was done at Gränges Sweden AB. The technique used for detection and quantification was gas chromatography (GC) coupled to a flame ionization detector (FID) and a water compatible polyethylene glycol (PEG) column. Fractional factorial design (FFD) was used for determination of adequate operating parameters of the GC method and the sample preparation. Sample preparation only required filtration and pH adjustment prior to direct aqueous injection (DAI) to the chromatographic instrument. Detection of the analytes was very difficult because of non-compatibility with the FID, and quantification of asymmetric peak shapes made this problem worse, omitting lactic acid from further analysis. Limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) was 490 and 1640 ppm for formic acid and 120 and 400 ppm for acetic acid, with an injection volume of 0.3 μL and split ratio 10:1. Limits were too high for every EGR sample leaving no peaks detected for the sample preparation used. Further development should be done with complementary techniques and sample reprocessing in order to quantify the compounds.

Development of high-performance algorithms for a new generation of versatile molecular descriptors. The Pentacle softwareDurán Alcaide, Ángel 04 March 2010 (has links)
The work of this thesis was focused on the development of high-performance algorithms for a new generation of molecular descriptors, with many advantages with respect to its predecessors, suitable for diverse applications in the field of drug design, as well as its implementation in commercial grade scientific software (Pentacle). As a first step, we developed a new algorithm (AMANDA) for discretizing molecular interaction fields which allows extracting from them the most interesting regions in an efficient way. This algorithm was incorporated into a new generation of alignmentindependent molecular descriptors, named GRIND-2. The computing speed and efficiency of the new algorithm allow the application of these descriptors in virtual screening. In addition, we developed a new alignment-independent encoding algorithm (CLACC) producing quantitative structure-activity relationship models which have better predictive ability and are easier to interpret than those obtained with other methods. / El trabajo que se presenta en esta tesis se ha centrado en el desarrollo de algoritmos de altas prestaciones para la obtención de una nueva generación de descriptores moleculares, con numerosas ventajas con respecto a sus predecesores, adecuados para diversas aplicaciones en el área del diseño de fármacos, y en su implementación en un programa científico de calidad comercial (Pentacle). Inicialmente se desarrolló un nuevo algoritmo de discretización de campos de interacción molecular (AMANDA) que permite extraer eficientemente las regiones de máximo interés. Este algoritmo fue incorporado en una nueva generación de descriptores moleculares independientes del alineamiento, denominados GRIND-2. La rapidez y eficiencia del nuevo algoritmo permitieron aplicar estos descriptores en cribados virtuales. Por último, se puso a punto un nuevo algoritmo de codificación independiente de alineamiento (CLACC) que permite obtener modelos cuantitativos de relación estructura-actividad con mejor capacidad predictiva y mucho más fáciles de interpretar que los obtenidos con otros métodos.
